Civilized history. Trials of insouciant thought and defining principle. The backbone of daunting things.
The regal. The royal. The sublime. Fairness. Temperate temperance. Demeanor. Cool. Tolerance. Tradition. The sullen hammer.
The respect. The fear. The taut and tight. Tis fear all about.
The tacky hammers. The gods of Olympus . The want of a hammer. The hammers of good avocation. Political hammers.
Taut and tight. Taut and tough. The whip hand. Unnerving posture. Better than their lessers. Lesser than their betters. Grinding hands creating. Creating hands grinding. Fairy tales.
Balance power. Rough justice. Principle in the winds. The court of courts. Tough bastards know justice.

Lust Games: Yesterday’s toys
Posted in Commentary, News, Politics, Uncategorized, writing with tags Commentary, Government, Lies damned lies and statistics, news, political commentary, social criticism, writing on May 3, 2011 by B SchiffSo. Now we have a moment in time. It is a fine and great moment…a moment that can be a magic springboard and springboard us back to the very best versions of our very best selves. It can be a springboard to the very best selves that we hold dear and deep in our hearts, the ones we think of when we day dream and are heroic.
We are teary eyed wonders saluting our flags of strength and it is not by accident that we brave many things in order to envision the best of natures noblemen and women. Honor fulfilled, large injustices not metastasized, as one we cherish our common suffering and our common courage and valor. Oh but were that my exploits could be chivalrous and true. Oh but were I a standard bearer for the sure and true. My heart would sing forever.
We tell our selves. We tell our selves again and again. Oh, but were that me, the soldier of soldiers, the brave stoic soldier of soldiers. Oh that the moment in time to be good is here again. Oh that it is a moment of no frustration, of no foolishness, of no ass backwards behavior. Oh, if only.
As have been many that have come before, so often, so hard charging, so eminently luminous…..the past is prologue. It sets that which must come next. Our past was yesterday. It will not bear on tomorrow. Our reactions harsh and fearful and weak. Our past small, narrow and petty.
We come from hard times and look through many prisms. There has been frustration and false premise. There has been false horizons and false dawns. Actors act. They wonder. They cannot see yesterday. They cannot see tomorrow.
Yesterday’s toys.
