The Second Coming

W.B. Yeats

Turning and turning in the widening gyre
The falcon cannot hear the falconer;
Things fall apart; the center cannot hold;
Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world,
The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere
The ceremony of innocence is downed;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity."

Surely some revelation is at hand:
Surely the Second Coming is at hand.
The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out
When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi
Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert
A shape with lion body and the head of a man,
A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun,
Is moving it's slow thighs, while all about it
Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds.
The darkness drops again; but now I know
That twenty centuries of stony sleep
were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle,
And what rough beast, its hour come round at last,
Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

22 minutes (2nd half)
as recorded by DISARRAY 1980
--
love and hate and sex
and war and food and violence
taking up the same space on the air
dialogue or poetry?
talk is cheap
life is cheap
bearing equal impact
with delivery and fade
fade...fade...

and all the college communists
will read from their instructions
and all the rockin' populists
will raise a match to heaven
and the random desperate terrorists
will have had their cause to die for

cho> cutting off my nose to spite my face
second thoughts
there's no account for some folks' taste
aluminum or plaster
whore or whore-master
titles such as these

what year is this?
i need to know
'cause i cant figure out
what year this is...

l'em and Emina

Ah who cares, if they want to believe we are NATO wannabees, or in the CIA, let them believe that :-)))))))))))))))) Keeps them off the street, y'know, while the World Management Team is pulling their strings.

It they think they can solve the world's troubling issues by hate and prejudice, and fear struck acts, mouthbashing and sucking up to war criminals, FINE. Their business. If they think they will get Uiniversal Wisdom, by staring at some news on the TV, or at some internet news site, PERFECT! Let them copy-paste everything on this board, so the silence of real thought exchange being absent is not so heartfelt :-(((

Frankly, I haven't been writing on this board for some time, becauwe the low levelled hatred and FEAR, being spread here, is boring me to DEATH.

This place is Zombieland, you know..... Copy-paste-copy-paste-copy-paste, blabla, copy-paste-copy-paste.....Yawn........ But....... be careful with what you do now, guys, the CIA might be watching!!!!!!!! :-00

Here is a chilling story of 'a day in the life of' a small village in Kosovo, Cuška--Qyshk. This report compiled by 'Human Rights Watch' is also a excellent example of 'good' reporting, not like some of the junk that has been posted previously. phil

SERB REFUGEE COLUMN ATTACKED IN KOSOVO

PEC, Serbia (Reuters) - Up to eight Serbs were reported missing after a column of ethnic Serbs from Kosovo under U.N. protection was attacked in the western town of Pec Wednesday, the U.N.'s refugee agency reported.

A spokesman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees (UNHCR) said between three and eight members of the column, headed for the republic of Montenegro, were missing after it was attacked by ethnic Albanians in Pec, adding that several vehicles were on fire.

The U.N. said the attack on the convoy of four buses and 21 civilians vehicles headed from Orahovac to Montenegro occurred as it was passing through the western city of Pec at around 3 p.m., adding that at least 15 vehicles were burning.

A U.N. official said 117 of the refugees were later evacuated to Montenegro, while 35 were seeking shelter in a police barracks in Pec.

No one was reported seriously injured, but three to eight people were missing and unaccounted for, the official said.

``It's obviously an appalling incident,'' said Peter Kessler, spokesman for the UNHCR, which organized the convoy in cooperation with the NATO-led KFOR peacekeeping force.

Kessler said he did not know what sort of weapons were used in the attack, but added: ``You can be sure it was not bows and arrows.''
