What a shame! That you British Brexiteers aren't as important, as you evidently think you are!
By Stanley Collymore
Hotels across Europe are full
without the need for Brits.
In July there was a 87%
capacity across Costa
Blanca hotels, and
most thankfully
too, totally not
a single Brit
anywhere
happily;
also to
even
see.
Now in August that figure
has actually impressively
and very demonstrably
so, risen to over 93%, with local

Seriously! How can, or why should Britain retaliate against Iran when its 5 ships are out trying to annoy China?
By Stanley Collymore
No fury from me as Israel
yet again routinely stirs
up as it so customarily
does still more trouble
in the Middle East, then patently
dishonestly, tries to drag other
countries into their normally
odious, totally self-servingly
Stockholm Syndrome, quite
shamefully warmongering
mentality. And basically, a
situation of course where
everything that factually
goes wrong generally in
that region irrespective
of who's undeniably or ...

“Sides” ... A Poem written by Big Virge 23/11/2020
Now When I Had Strong Teeth ...
I’d Love To Sit And Feast ...
On A Nice Side of BEEF ... !!!!!
But When It Comes To Life ...
There Are MANY Sides ...
That Life Supplies ... !!!
Some That We Like ...
As Well As Those ...
That AREN’T So Nice ... !!!
When What Life Throws ...
Are Tragedies And Woes ...
That Send Some Souls ...
Into ... DARK ZONES ... !!!
Because of The Loss ...
of ... Someone Close ... !!!
That Makes Some Drop ...
To The Kind of Lows ...
Where They Snort...

in kismet rapture
sometimes i wonder what the rapture's gonna look like if we don't save ourselves in time. if it'll be quick and over in a single night or as slow as this species' descent into madness.
so when did we go mad? when did we decide that numbers made of lightning meant more to us than lifetimes of history yet to be? is it when we discovered oil or gasoline, or currency over barter and i wonder, are some discoveries just not meant for us?
we, so i was told, always thought that the rapture would start with trumpets and falling stars like our own mortal crimes could really touch those...

“Remarkable” .... A Poem written by Big Virge 15/5/2021
Now It Truly Is REMARKABLE ...
The Things That Reside ...
Deep Down Inside ...

In Fact ...
I Have To Say It’s Laughable ...
As Well As Being Farcical ... !?!
The Things That Some Say ...

They Are Quick To Make Attacks ...
Where Facts Are What They Lack ...

Because You AREN’T AFRAID ...
To CRITICISE The Ways ...
That Certain Blacks...

Blessed be the Fruit
(Parallels of Fictional Tales and Real-World Spells)
There are these men who claim to have more
knowledge over women’s bodies. They issue laws
to have more control over them under the guise of
morality or God and all that that is pure, and so a
plan is formed, but it’s more of an ominous map
that seems to head toward this fictional dystopia

Quoting scriptures, they look to these ancient laws,

Mortgaging Paradise
Ignite the light in a sky of black
When the void surrounds us
Circumstantial disadvantages
Night lies when it speaks of hopelessness
Mercy at dawn, born a peace treaty
Life given to be laid down
From unseen riches partaking of a beggars crown
I've no words for glory but to behold
Ransom from the cradle to save my broken soul
Can I hear Your heart behind the words?
Sacred letters made to post card marketing
Timeless the cryptic writing of everlasting truth
Commercializing the consumer's Christ
