- Rudyard Kipling, "The Bees and the Flies"A Farmer of the Augustan Age
Perused in Virgil's golden page
The story of the secret won
From Proteus by Cyrene's son--
How the dank sea-god showed the swain
Means to restore his hives again.
More briefly, how a slaughtered bull
Breeds honey by the bellyful.
The egregious rustic put to death
A bull by stopping of its breath,
Disposed the carcass in a shed
With fragrant herbs and branches spread,
And, having well performed the charm,
Sat down to wait the promised swarm.
Nor waited long.
The God of Day
Impartial, quickening with his ray
Evil and good alike, beheld
The carcass--and the carcass swelled.
Big with new birth the belly heaves
Beneath its screen of scented leaves.
Past any doubt, the bull conceives!
The farmer bids men bring more hives
To house the profit that arrives;
Prepares on pan and key and.
kettle,
Sweet music that shall make 'em settle;
But when to crown the work he goes,
Gods! What a stink salutes his nose!
Where are the honest toilers.
Where
The.
gravid mistress of their care?
A busy scene, indeed, he sees,
But not a sign or sound of bees.
Worms of the riper grave unhid
By any kindly coffin-lid,
Obscene and shameless to the light,
Seethe in insatiate appetite,
Through putrid offal, while--above
The hissing blow-fly seeks his love,
Whose offspring, supping where they supt,
Consume corruption twice corrupt.

HERE IT IS The OCTOBER SURPRISE We’ve All Been Dreading
The OTHER SHOE has DROPPED (Courtesy of Matt Drudge)
Heh heh heh! You aways knew Comey was gonna getcha, did'ncha?
CONFUSED COMEY CLEARS HER AGAIN!
TRUMP: 'SHE'S PROTECTED BY RIGGED SYSTEM'
There are mo white knights... only green ones.
What the hell is going on at the Fucked up Bureau of Imbeciles?
Not sure I'd trust these guys with investigating the theft of a fourth owner tricycle, right now!
C.Y.A. is an governmental "Obsession".
"There's no honor among thieves," and that's precisely what "GOVERNMENT" is –– a THIEF.
In the guise of "protecting us" government steals our freedom as it stealsever greater amounts of our money to do things of which no sane person would approve, IF he understood what was being done to him in the name of promoting PEACE, JUSTICE and SECURITY.
Once we started to accept the "progressive"notion that "FAIRNESS" is more important then FREEDOM, our goose began to be cooked to a fare thee well. Soon the poor silly old bird will be INCINERATED –– turned into fine white powdery ash and scattered to the four winds.
Bye bye Happiness,
Hellow Emptiness,
I feel like I could cry.
Good bye my world good bye.
Those tedious braying Everly Brothers may have been onto something after all.
