And they cried with a loud voice, saying, How long, O Lord, holy and true, dost thou not judge and avenge our blood on them that dwell on the earth?
And, lo, there was a great earthquake; and the sun became black as sackcloth of hair, and the moon became as blood;
And the stars of heaven fell unto the earth, even as a fig tree casteth her untimely figs, when she is shaken of a mighty wind; and every mountain and island were moved out of their places.
And the kings of the earth, and the great men, and the rich men, and the mighty men hid themselves in the dens and in the rocks of the mountains;
And said to the mountains and rocks, Fall on us, and hide us from the face of him that sitteth on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb:

What they really meant:—————– First 40 minutes

———- Then trouble starts ———————–
– Vance: Biden was a loser. You need to make a deal.
– Zelensky: JD, you can’t make deals with Russia, you idiot.
– Vance: Don’t embarrass me on TV. Ukraine is weak. We’re better than you.
– Zelensky: You don’t know what you’re talking about.
– Vance: Hey, I’ve got the internet, so I know. Admit you’re a loser and start sucking up to President Trump.
– Zelensky: You’re big talkers but Russia will get you too.
– Trump: Don’t say that. Remember your place. You might actually suck us into a war with Russia.
– Vance: You’re an ingrate. You sucked up to Biden. Now suck up to Trump.

– Trump: What if I have you killed, right here, right now? All the presidents before me were losers. I’m a winner. Putin had to endure being accused of the worst thing ever, Russiagate, and didn’t attack the US, so I trust him. So Z, Either give up territory or keep dying, you ingrate.

Here’s a bit of rhyming history:
On 7 April 1926, Violet Gibson shot Mussolini, Italy’s National Fascist Party leader, as he walked among the crowd in the Piazza del Campidoglio in Rome after leaving an assembly of the International Congress of Surgeons, to whom he had delivered a speech on the wonders of modern medicine. Gibson had armed herself with a Modele 1892 revolver disguised in a black shawl. She fired once, but Mussolini moved his head at that moment and the shot hit his nose; she tried again, but the gun misfired. Gibson was almost lynched on the spot by an angry mob, but police intervened and took her away for questioning. Mussolini was wounded only slightly, dismissing his injury as “a mere trifle”, and after his nose was bandaged he continued his parade on the Capitoline Hill.
The End of Poetry
I cannot write a sonnet anymore
The faculty’s now lost, the talent gone
The muse inspiring poems walked out the door
She’s sitting on a blanket on the lawnShe says that I’ve ignored her long enough
And poetry can go jump in the lake
That I’ve refused her gifts for worthless stuff
There’s limited abuse a muse can takeI’ve tried to coax the muse to come back in
I’ve offered her some come cookies and some milk
Ignoring me she wears a scornful grin
Refusing to engage one of my ilkErato, give me one more fleeting chance
I promise I’ll write poems and sing and danceLobbyist: Congressman, will you vote for this bill for a $1 million campaign contribution?
Congressman: Sure!
Lobbyist: Would you vote for it for a $1 campaign contribution?
Congressman: Are you crazy? What do you think I am?

– Actions speak louder than words– Not honoring my proverbs shows disrespect. It is hurtful and invalidating and creates a threatening and intolerant environment.
“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?… The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation…. We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
― Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
