THE VISION OF CHRIST that thou dost see | |
Is my vision’s greatest enemy. | |
Thine has a great hook nose like thine; | |
Mine has a snub nose like to mine. | |
Thine is the Friend of all Mankind; | 5 |
Mine speaks in parables to the blind. | |
Thine loves the same world that mine hates; | |
Thy heaven doors are my hell gates. | |
Socrates taught what Meletus | |
Loath’d as a nation’s bitterest curse, | 10 |
And Caiaphas was in his own mind | |
A benefactor to mankind. | |
Both read the Bible day and night, | |
But thou read’st black where I read white. |
"Sunnis, wake up, pay attention and prepare to confront the poisons of the Shiite snakes," al-Zarqawi said. "Forget about those advocating the end of sectariansim and calling for national unity."‘Tens of Thousands’ of Somalians Demonstrate Against U.S. Support for Militias:

No one else can comprehend what they've been through, certainly not the audience members, who will at least try. Specialist Moriarty complains that nobody really wants to hear his stories, even though someone will occasionally express some polite curiosity. And Sergeant Pink, drinking beer with his girlfriend, muses that people don't really know what to say to him, and that there's nothing they can say that he really wants to hear. But then on second thought, and with some prompting, he admits that there is one sentence he doesn't mind hearing: "I'm glad you're home."(H/T) Donkey OD
