[HT: Monty James]
There is a place where the sidewalk ends
And before the street begins,
And there the grass grows soft and white,
And there the sun burns crimson bright,
And there the moon-bird rests from his flight
To cool in the peppermint wind.
Let us leave this place where the smoke blows black
And the dark street winds and bends.
Past the pits where the asphalt flowers grow
We shall walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And watch where the chalk-white arrows go
To the place where the sidewalk ends.
Yes we’ll walk with a walk that is measured and slow,
And we’ll go where the chalk-white arrows go,
For the children, they mark, and the children, they know
The place where the sidewalk ends.
by Shel Silverstein
The steel mill sky is alive.
The fire breaks white and zigzag
shot on a gun-metal gloaming.
Man is a long time coming.
Man will yet win.
Brother may yet line up with brother:
This old anvil laughs at many broken hammers.
There are men who can’t be bought.
The fireborn are at home in fire.
The stars make no noise,
You can’t hinder the wind from blowing.
Time is a great teacher.
Who can live without hope?
In the darkness with a great bundle of grief
the people march.
In the night, and overhead a shovel of stars for keeps, the people
march:
“Where to? what next?”
— Carl Sandberg

Looks like I’m going to have to update to a pro account on Gab.
I did about 4 months back.
I still waiting on rightwing billionaires to step up and help … Theil, Adelson, Mercer, McAfee, etc.
Free speech for all. Fight for it!!!!
Been on Gab since 10/16. Pro for about a year. Torba’s clever, but clever never beats a good general staff; something all of Big Tech has in spades. Just a month before this, his irrational stab at the anime/manga community was shockingly unprofessional. He is (was) running a ‘wild west’ platform and all that implies. It is not (and was not) the lolicons that wanted him 1. out of business, and 2. dead.
I hope Gab soon returns, but I fear the Zman is correct.
Should people be allowed to exercise their free speech right in a church?
Or should a church be allowed to place limits on the speech of anyone that enters their property?
You come before your maker in humility. Satan argues with God.
