An Endless Cycle

Nothing brings out the cynic,
Quite like an election.
Both sides making promises
They have no intention of keeping.
The "issues" take over,
Like kings of old.
Anything of merit is quickly forgotten,
Swept into the "memory hole".

People, like sheep, follow their bucolic
To the ends of the Earth.
All the while; screaming,
At the top of their lungs,
About reforms they'll never see.
Like naive children,
They refuse to admit the faults
Of their elitist demagogue leader.

Feel free to call me
A cynic and a pessimist,
Meet my every word with protest.
Just know that one thing remains true.
As soon as they come to power,
They'll forget about you.

hahaha
lol
so true
their test
is the chair
and every man in the world
his test is the chair
you make him king
he spits on you
that is what he really is inside
you just let him be
a true king
gets on the chair
and then says
oh no
this is not for me
i wanna sit on the couch with ten other people lol

[Jonny The Savage]

It's too bad we'll never have a true king again.

[B]

A true king shows
We have to be patient
King Farouk of Egypt was a true king
I look fondly upon King Hussein of Jordan
I love him

[Jonny The Savage]

I think of Panama's Omara Torijos, personally.
I just meant that with the level of control in the world today, it will never happen again. At least until we learn that sitting on our hands is the biggest cause of suffering.

[B]

Panama is a city so filled with honor
The history in that location of the world
is one of deep and profound roots
The people are humble yet hold a degree of wisdom to life
They must have a deep respect for knowledge it shows in their ways

[B]

I think if a good king or person comes along to lead the people
it would be him holding so much charisma and love
that no control could stop him or her
Love can break anything
even stone

[Jonny The Savage]

Love can't stop bullets though. I wish it could. I wish the people would learn to stop hating. To stop allowing things to continue this way. So many of my heroes sacrificed themselves out of love of their people. Murdered in cold blood and forgotten by most. I know even as I type this, that is the path I'm on as well.

[B]

Love can do anything
i am a believer lol
like those movies you watch i am in that with all my heart
People hate
but love removes hate
makes it small
until it walks away alone

[Jonny The Savage]

Love is the only thing that can conquer hate. It's why I love everyone/thing. Otherwise I'd be a complete hypocrite to expect others to do the same.

[B]

True
And you can never be a hypocrite
oh believe me
you stand no chance lol
read moreTrue
And you can never be a hypocrite
oh believe me
you stand no chance lol
hypocrisy would run out the door screaming before even coming near you lol
honesty is the enemy of hypocrisy

[Jonny The Savage]

haha I'll take your word for it :D

[B]

Yeah ...... I love Chopin
and i read alot of philosophy
The old books
translated from latin

http://www.loebclassics.com/

[Jonny The Savage]

I read pretty much everything at this point.
Call my cynical but I often feel like reading a translation is not the same as reading it in the original tongue, it's why I want to learn Latin so badly.

[B]

I always say that lol
Yes latin is very rich
i once spoke about this with someone dear
it is
most of the knowledge of the world is trapped in that language
But you see Loeb has done the translation and original text and they kept the translation word for word
so its not proper English but is latin translated
Gorgeous

[Jonny The Savage]

Does sound wonderful. I love what little Latin I know more dearly than the English.

[B]

I believe the Latin Bibble has not been touched by anyone
I dont know why
i believe it
I tried latin i can do very little
but i know i can try harder
i can do it

[Jonny The Savage]

I believe in you!
And if you want to get into untouched biblical stuff, check out he Nag Hammadi Library sometime. It contains a lot of lost/omitted texts.

[B]

I read the bible and torah
The bible has so much to offer
and is a work of art
but i feel the disconnection in the areas where text was removed
i stop and put it down
and my brain has an image
the magic of the bible is the images
so so so so so unbelievable at building a picture
no wonder all the artists at that time drew so well

[Jonny The Savage]

Then you'll definitely like The Nag Hammadi Library, especially if you go into it with an open mind. It's considered a heretical text, but the one piece I wrote references one of the pieces in it: 'The Hypostasis of the Archons'.

[B]

yeah i read that one
i will check out the library
oh the other day i saw somethin so amazing hold on you will love this

[Jonny The Savage]

I added a bunch to it yesterday, still not done, even though it's 10 full notebook pages lol. Mkay.

[B]

Bring it on
Add them all

[Jonny The Savage]

I have all of it typed up now, but it's still not done, still need to delve deeper into metaphysical law and a few other subjects more, then finish it off just right.

Here it is, if you'd like to read the new additions. Not entirely sure how good they are.

[B]

will check it out

[Jonny The Savage]

Thanks, definitely be honest with me if the new additions blow, or else...I'll....something...yeah!

[B]

cool
i always will be honest

[Jonny The Savage]

Same here, I promise.

sad poem...i have something I am posting later or tomorrow that you can not control the fate of another even when they are making the most drastic mistakes and that your intentions are for the best for them or other repercussions will happens..I have a posting of just letting go of that..You can not change a person to do what is asked for God or do what is right..even if your best intentions was all that applied..you have to release them to their pride and free will of choice to remain..that is all you can do for them
