Inside the Moving Horse...



We want to plough through life
Walking through Troy's gates
Lying and cheating
And looking down on you with a laugh

So we get into this horse
Be it a gift to you
We ride up to your stove with
With poisonous drink

We will soon be everywhere
And the best horse in the stable

Come in, we are the poison in the wine
Our will hard as stone - enter the doors
Come on - we accept blows
With us the sun rises - Roll the city from the inside
Until Troy burns!

Never to be seen never to hear
If there is a lighter in the straw
Waiting there for stupid gods
Are only happy in hot flames

Drum up the cups are ready
Drink only out you will long
And if you are beautifully drunk
We're going to turn your neck around

We will soon be everywhere
And the best horse in the stable

Come in, we are the poison in the wine
Our will hard as stone - enter the doors
Come on - we accept blows
With us the sun rises - Roll the city from the inside
Until Troy burns!

Come in, we are the poison in the wine
Our will hard as stone - enter the doors
Come on - we accept blows
With us the sun rises - Roll the city from the inside
Until Troy burns!

What IS yurpoint, Farmer, my friend, in posting never-ending examples of perverse, decadent, unmitigated UGLINESS with no socially redeeming features whatsoever?

What are you trying to accomplish?

It's as though you'd appointed yourself Chief Apostle to the AntiChrist.

I've known you –– or THOUGHT I've known you –– for a long time, so I don't want to believe this of you.

What happened to Charm, Intrigue, Whimsy, Humor, Elegance, Beauty, Order, Refinement, Joy, Affection, and Revelry?

Why do all positive attributes of the human condition appear to have been wiped from your consciousness?

Franco Aragosta said...

If "The World" appears to have abandoned itself to Perdition –– as I'm too often tempted to believe, myself, –– WHY woud you want to MAGNIFY that, GLORIFY it, and thus SUCCUMB to it?

I truly believe we have been placed here to "FIGHT the GOOD FIGHT with ALL of OUR MIGHT."

It's never been questiin of WINNING, but rather of NOT SURRENDERING.

Franco Aragosta said...

And one again I feel compelled to remind you of the infinite wisdom of Alaxander Pope, who wrote:

Vice is a creature of such fearful mien
That her hideous face should scrcely be seen,
For seen too oft, –– familiar with her face ––
At first we pity, –– then endure, – then EMBRACE.


The same, of course, could well be said for any and all manner of things evil or undesirable.

I think that discontent with the global neoliberal financial establishment is universal. This demonstrates it. It's a warning sign... that our civilization isn't living up to its' promise, and that we need to do better for the average working citizen.

Stick your head in the ground and relive the glory days of the 100-200 years in the past high water marks of western civ if you want to, Franco. As for me, I'll keep my eye on 100-200 years in the prosumer future.

___________ A POINT TO PONDER ___________

Would sane men ever want to see their daughters
Become a screaming bitch like Maxine Waters?

Better they should die in an air crash
Than ape this noisome piece of Afro-Trash.

There is no adequate excuse
For us to suffer her abuse.

Her right to speak we're forced to leave alone,
But must we give this crone a megaphone?

Comme tu veux, mon ami, mais je crois tu n'a pas correct. Tu jou avec feu. C'est tres dangereux. J'ai peur pour toi.

We ARE what we choose to THINK. We are not the product of outside forces acting against us no matter how it may seem to the contrary.

My head is not in the sand. My gaze is firmly fixed on the highest places I know.

While falsehood is certain to MAIM, TRUTH never fails in the long run to HEAL.

It's beginning to manifest itself in pop culture too: Joker and Paradise.

Netflix: Omnscient and Living without Permission (which isn't brilliant)

Oh and 'Succession': BRILLIANT!

FOLDEROL! STUFF and NONSENSE! TOMMYROT! BOLLOCKS! TOSH and TARADIDDLE! COMPOST! and BULLSHIT!

No matter what else you try to call it, or how diligently you try to fob it off as intellectually significant and possessed of socially redming value ––or even "Enlightenment, " God hrlp us! –– a turd is a turd is a turd –– and ever more shall be so.

And never forget "A TURD by any OTHER name still STINKS to HIGH HEAVEN."

Gert said...

Stinker's definitely an expert on turds.

Dixit Blackadder about Baldrick: 'To give this guy a modicum of political insight would mean teaching him to read first and that could take 10 years!'

Bernie Sanders 2020! He is the leader the neoliberals and globalists fear! Dotard is the stooge they love!

Franco Aragosta said...

Poor GERT! In being driven primarily by Scorn, Derision Contempt and Conceit he's pathetically BLIND to REALITY, and he doesn't even BEGIN to know it.

An excellent example of the OPACITY modern and post-modern philosophy has brough to bear on the Mind of Man –– particulary those who like to fancy themselves "educated!"

In its own peculiar fashion the brand of thinking that seems to have become regrettably fashionable since the coming of the Machine Age is eerily remniscent of the Oppressive Misunderstanding of Christian Doctrine that kept Mankind Terrorized and in Chains during the Mediaval Period in Europe –– a horrifying mentality that still darkens the deserts of Arabia today in the form of Islamic Fundamentalism –– and the Jews'tragically mistaken belief that THEY alone have been "Chosen by God" to LEAD and this DOMINATE all mankind.

What we need most to fear is Doctrinaire Absolutism of ANY kind, especially;y when it' based on cynical disdain for the Human Ccondition..

Franco Aragosta said...

Oh dear! If such a thing be possible, the mentality espoused by Dirtish Fartbreath Sanders (PHEW!) is even MORE pitiable that than of poor chronically snide Gert, although they are probaby close to being as like as two peas in a pod as any two loveless, sadly disaffected human creatures could be.

Joe Conservative said...

The neoliberals fear Bernie much as they feared Stalin. Too bad that all of Bernies policy recommendations ORIGINATED with Stalin...

Gert said...

Stinker's main contributions to blogging:

1. extreme crapflooding,
2. outlandish antisemitism.

Well done!

Gert said...

Joe:

Invoking Stalin when talking about progressives is about as childish as invoking Hitler when talking about conservatives.

Epstein's not dead: hes in the band!

Great track, BTW!
