After scanning its face again and again,
I began to scale it, picking my holds
With intense caution. About half-way
To the top, I was suddenly brought to
A dead stop, with arms outspread
Clinging close to the face of the rock
Unable to move hand or foot
Either up or down. My doom
Appeared fixed. I MUST fall.
There would be a moment of
Bewilderment, and then,
A lifeless rumble down the cliff
To the glacier below.
My mind seemed to fill with a
Stifling smoke. This terrible eclipse
Lasted only a moment, when life blazed
Forth again with preternatural clearness.
I seemed suddenly to become possessed
Of a new sense. My trembling muscles
Became firm again, every rift and flaw in
The rock was seen as through a microscope,
My limbs moved with a positiveness and precision
With which I seemed to have
Nothing at all to do.
My head knocks against the stars.
My feet are on the hilltops.
My finger-tips are in the valleys and shores of
universal life.
Down in the sounding foam of primal things I
reach my hands and play with pebbles of
destiny.
I have been to hell and back many times.
I know all about heaven, for I have talked with God.
I dabble in the blood and guts of the terrible.
I know the passionate seizure of beauty
And the marvelous rebellion of man at all signs
reading “Keep Off.”
My name is Truth and I am the most elusive captive
in the universe.

“a total nut removal” LMAO- jeez I had to cross my legs…

complete disclosure: I worked as a proofreader for Mars.
At long last there is a candy for the sexually depraved! M&Ms have become Pete Buttigieg’s second favorite thing to put into his mouth.
More confirmation that M&Ms are just “an edible technological trinket.”
I quit at 29 seconds. Immediately after the phrase, “the people at Mars Candy weren’t bad people. they were just ignorant.” ugh.
M&M’s have now been added to my list of companies I will no longer patronize.
“M&M’s have now been added to my list of companies I will no longer patronize.”
Ditto that.
Thanks for the heads-up, I won’t bother to view it. Probably meant to be “cute”, but it only serves to further divide. Oh, and I can almost hear the plaintiff cry of the perpetually ass-chapped, “Lighten-up! It’s just a joke!”
Hahahaha! I know right. I’m right there with ya but I looked. It’s stupid and you aren’t missing anything. It’s gay shit.
Oh I’m so outraged. I just can’t….Oh, the umbrage. Oh, the indignity, the effrontery. Oh, my, get out of the way please, Oh it’s the worst catastrophe, the smoke and flames, crashing to the ground. I can’t talk, ladies and gentlemen, all the smoke and wreckage. I can hardly breathe. Oh, the humidity.
(Did anybody else see this was a satire from the Babylon Bee? )
Yes, but not immediately. The Babylon Bee has become America’s newspaper of note. Because of the astounding and ridiculous farce that America’s culture and politics have become, it is difficult to separate the Bee from reality. They are becoming one and the same. It is now CNN that is the farce, and the Bee that reflects the real world.
It’s true.
Good catch, Aggie.
I didn’t notice that it was the BB. Those folks are doing some serious parody….it is so good that it seems like real news!
Man those folks been working overtime,,,,,trying hard to remain relevant, I listen to their music, not their bullshit opinions.
I must be a masochist, I knew what was coming but still watched the whole DAMNED thing. It’s impossible anymore to have believed, even ten years ago, that millions of Americans would start falling for these mega-tons of bullshit.
Just remember it isn’t aimed at you. It’s the kids.
Never cared for them, found them mostly flavorless.
That was a sadly funny satire.
Next satire should probably be about candies and pastries with “creme filled centers,” or how “fudge is packed” in containers, and how it offends the LGBTPXYZ crowd.
You are heartless with your side remark about Joni Mitchell. I had to laugh.
She is one of my favorite musicians/singers, but I never worried about her politics, even now. I must have 10 of her CDs. I play them repeatedly. I also play a lot of Nina Simone and I hated her politics too.
I don’t pay attention to what musicians, actors–any celebrity–have to say outside of their real talent.
Sorry, posted to wrong thread.
