[NightSlut]

If we go back to the beginning we shall find that ignorance and fear created the gods; that fancy, enthusiasm, or deceit adorned or disfigured them; that weakness worships them; that credulity preserves them; and that custom, respect, and tyranny support them in order to make the blindness of man serve its own interests.

[Curious_in_Cali]

“To love life, to love it even
when you have no stomach for it
and everything you've held dear
crumbles like burnt paper in your hands,
your throat filled with the silt of it.
When grief sits with you, its tropical heat
thickening the air, heavy as water
more fit for gills than lungs;
when grief weights you like your own flesh
only more of it, an obesity of grief,
you think, How can a body withstand this?
Then you hold life like a face
between your palms, a plain face,
no charming smile, no violet eyes,
and you say, yes, I will take you
I will love you, again.”
~ Ellen Bass

It is my own dream,
I dreamt it.

I dreamt that my hair was kempt.
Then I dreamt that my true love unkempt it.

LittleSparks, here's another Ogden Nash poem:

In His wisdom
God made the fly.
And then forgot
To tell us why.
