Death be not proud, though some have called thee,
Mighty and dreadfull, for, thou art not so,
For, those, whom thou think'st, thou dost overthrow,
Die not, poore death, nor yet canst thou kill me.
From rest and sleepe, which but thy pictures bee,
Much pleasure, then from thee, much more must flow,
And soonest our best men with thee doe goe,
Rest of their bones, and soules deliverie.
Thou art slave to Fate, Chance, kings, and desperate men,
And dost with poyson, warre, and sicknesse dwell,
And poppie, or charmes can make us sleepe as well,
And better then thy stroake; why swell'st thou then;
One short sleepe past, wee wake eternally,
And death shall be no more; death, thou shalt die.
JOHN DONNE
THE HERETIK REMEMBERS AND HOPES HE MAY NEVER FORGET:
Nation will fight nation for dominance forever. Women and men will skirmish. Each generation rises to swallow the one before it. A snake swallows itself. Each of us in the end faces but one enemy at a time.
I look in the mirror to see my enemy is myself. I who admit no other am enemy to myself first and only then enemy to all.
In me is all life and grateful I am for it.
In me is my own death. May I not share it so much with others.
Heretik,
As usual, you are firing on all cylinders.
xo,
ae

Nice rememberences Heretik and great poem...
You asked earlier:
The Heretik said...
Where can I buy whatever it is you eat for breakfast?
My reply is:
The secret is I only drink bottled water...I brew my coffee with bottled water too....And I drink lots of coffee...wait maybe that's it? Could be the prozac with trace amounts of Xanax left over from the night before?
Could be all that acid I did in college or all the pot I used to smoke.
Or it could be the Del Classic chicken burrito I have in the morning for breakfast followed by a multivitamin and lots of coffee.
Still, I think it's the bottled water.

Yo yo, its moi from little paris. So anyay, to get in touch with y'all, i will tell you the real meaning of this poem. It dates back to Atlanta where this black dude was fired from thsi white shop because he farted on the bench and the owner lost all his customers.
