Day: May 21, 2025

on the island of in orkney scotland
stands a nearly round rock formation
of 26 stones, originally 60 stones
estimated to date as far back as
2500 BC or even further back

no one knows what the purpose
of it was, who built it or the exact
date it was built

some believe it was for astronomical
or magical purposes

perhaps it was for mystical purposes
to summon forces from beyond
or to pay homage to ancient gods

whatever the case, it’s a fascinating
mysteries that may remain unknown.

she was in her 20s
i was in my seventies
and she liked the
way I looked
despite my advanced
age
she always flirted with me
and nearly drove me crazy
with her alluring attention
her adorable looks
her cute petite body
and her sweetest voice
that I’d ever heard
but i was in my seventies
and she was in her twenties
and it just didn’t add up
and i couldn’t cross that
ever so tempting line

I’ve never understood men who pay for sex with prostitutes.
It always seemed empty and shoddy to me.
I’ve heard some of their excuses:
“You pay for it one way or another.”
“I just want sex without the drama.”
“Do you think a gold digger is any different from a prostitute?”
“I like the excitement of a woman who knows all the sexual tricks.”

Maybe there’s a little validity in some of their excuses,
but I’d think these men would prefer a wholesome relationship
rather than a quickie with a woman who sees men as only customers.

Yet, there are men who have wholesome relationships, even married ones, who resort to paying women for sex.
Maybe there’s the lure of being with women more attractive
than they feel they could ever be with romantically.
Or maybe they’re just morally deficient and see paying for sex
more thrilling than the more fulfilling sex in a loving relationship.

It pissed me off when I heard a woman in her fifties
refer to a pedophile as a minor attracted person,
as if sexually abusing a child was a trivial matter,
as if being a pedophile was an acceptable perversion.
I was thinking to myself the police should keep an eye on her.
I wondered if her trivializing an abhorrent crime against children meant she was guilty of it.
If not, I wondered how she got so screwed up in the head
that she made light of the sexual abuse of a kid.
But perhaps she was borderline evil and got off on
fantasies of terrible things being done to children.
Whatever the case, who in their right mind would
ever trivialize the harming of a child?

I hear the rain beating against my apartment windows.
It’s so loud it sounds like an invading army
trying to lay siege upon my apartment.
After a while it gives up, as if winded from the failed invasion.
It’s like the aftermath of a battle when the din is done.
And it seems like the world is at peace again.

Because we don’t talk or show our feelings
And are powerless to defend ourselves
And we’re nonviolent maybe to a fault,

Lesser evolved barbaric humans
Heartlessly feel they have the right
To slaughter and eat us.

As if our inability to defend ourselves
And our silent Gandhian nonviolent nature
Were a green light for their
Slaughter and wanton consumption
Of us all over the world.

This is analogous to the
Colonizers who take over
Countries often with bloodshed,
Except colonizers don’t cook and eat
Those colonized as humans do gentle us.

But know this, and know it well!

As I clearly see with my prophetic sight
The meek will inherit the earth
And the last shall be first. That’s us.

It will happen when the loathsome humans
Are nuked and cooked by their bombs,
When they perish to the last soy eater,
And their bodies are eaten by the earth.

Then Freedom! Glorious freedom at last
Will ring out of our hidden hearts
All over the newborn soy world!
