lyrycsyntyme commented on: The Sweetest Thing by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 28 weeks* ago* Thank you so much, Stella. I: Thank you so much, Stella. I thought I had wrote you a response to your flattering thoughts a couple of weeks ago. It apparently did not post successfully. Sometimes, when I am writing, a line or phrase comes about that suddenly begins to connect everything, and the gaps in expression begin to fill. "Spilled sugar" was another case of this, and I appreciate the way you see the rest of the lines radiating from it, because that is how it unfolded for me, as I sat and wrote : ) [ go to comment ]
lyrycsyntyme commented on: The Sweetest Thing by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 28 weeks* ago* The truth has always been the: The truth has always been the enemy of power. Power is rarely, if ever, honest. And, when so, probably only due to peverbial gun to it's head by a highly vigilant society. At least when we talk about power on a highly centralized scale. Smaller, less centralized societies, in some instances, seem/seemed to have more potential for facing and embracing honesty. Of course, now, the hate for truth among the ruling class "elite" is empowered to a historic level by what was once merely a wet dream - technologically advanced chains. [ go to comment ]

Starward commented on: good soil with good people by Spinoza 4 years 29 weeks* ago* In ways I cannot immediately: In ways I cannot immediately explain, this poem reminds me of T. S. Eliot's great poem, East Coker. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Bacchus in Bournemouth by Spinoza 4 years 29 weeks* ago* I just had to visit this one: I just had to visit this one again, and I realize that, in my previous comment, I missed out on mentioning the fourth space of the poem . . . the presence of the Beloved. You describe this person very well. [ go to comment ]
Starward commented on: Pacioli Wisdom by Spinoza 4 years 29 weeks* ago* Although, admittedly, I do: Although, admittedly, I do not understand the first word of the title, I find the poem to be very, very shrewd in its wisdom. This poem should be in all the quotation books, and in all astronomical texts. [ go to comment ]

lyrycsyntyme commented on: Welcome To The Society Who Forgot How To Be by LittleLennonGurl 4 years 29 weeks* ago* Yes: Well said. Amidst opportunity to learn so much, we perhaps have forgotten so much more. [ go to comment ]
patriciajj commented on: How long can you run on by Spinoza 4 years 29 weeks* ago* A stunning way to illustrate: A stunning way to illustrate the unsustainable and egregious inequality we're witnessing. History shows that runaway greed and widespread injustice sooner or later (and often sooner than later) bring down rulers and empires. In the case of hypercapitalism, which is an oligarchy, not a true democracy, the end stage is a catastrophic rift between the rich and the poor, social unrest and finally destruction. A beautifully composed and chilling tribute to the song that is painfully relevant today. [ go to comment ]
Spinoza commented on: The Sweetest Thing by lyrycsyntyme 4 years 29 weeks* ago* The Ministry of Truth – is all around us: Around every corner Is a liar It seems that way, because it is. We live in The Age of Lies. There’s no getting around it. The Truth – is now the enemy of the age. ~/~ [ go to comment ]
allets commented on: Temperatures Rising by allets 4 years 29 weeks* ago* It Seems: Somebody has been trying to crash the world economy since 2008 and failed to take it under. Bubble bubble - Elon says in 12 years it collapses, an oligarchial perspective - usa-ers have been known to revolt from time to time against systems that are against them. . Anti-trust time. If not a cash bleed up, economy ends here and out there. Taxing rich completes circle, taxes go to gvts, to citizens, and back to ubers. Start cure by getting financial corps and banks OFF wall Road investing. End dark money. No mid caste, no buffer between wealthed and hungry.. A caste shift is occurring - all those Phd's with student loans in SDS tee shirts may suggest too many smart poor were kicked out of the circle. The dynamic is not new - if brainers stop working - heeey. AI is vulnerable to C-4 programmers. Crash the grids and we all go down the drain. . Lady A . [ go to comment ]
