I'm thinking it isn't worth the aggravation anymore to be online. The Internet is plagued with just too many vultures, predators, and parasites. Then besides this, the level of stupidity and ignorance is mind boggling. Then add in all the fake and superficial types, shallowness, spinelessness, and immaturity. Very few want to read past a line or two because they might actually learn something. To have any kind of 'intelligent' conversation is next to impossible. So many are content with being sheeple. Few cultivate having values and most can be bought for a price or some type of bribe. Is it any wonder we have so much corruption? Corrupted people love people who can't think for themselves; people who are self serving and are willing to kiss ass and suck up for the sole purpose of seeking favour for themselves. Corrupt people love people they can wave a promise of something under a suck up's nose and the suck up will then do their bidding for them. Corrupt people don't like people who have a mind of their own and use it nor people who can't be bribed/bought. It's gotten to the point most people can't be trusted and I don't like having to have my guard up all the time. I'm about ready to say, "Screw it!"

So, 'this' is what Elftown's come to accepting now, porn? THIS is NOT 'artistic nudity'. It's porn. Someone ought to send them, member 6430, to fake, where people join who have no sense of human decency and definitely no self respect, which apparently this Elftown member has none of either, either.

Love writing Limericks. Humour is always good!

For happy life shared by two,
It is said to be true,
'Happy wife, happy life',
But every good wife knows
How in men happy shows.
Happy penis, happy man,
Main goal, desired plan.
Unhappy penis, man's distressed,
Making man so depressed!

So...
If you're gonna' love a man,
You'd better love his penis,
Since there is the brain he uses,
As is the ego of his genus!

Loving Poetry Soup!!! Love the atmosphere. Love that Poetry Soup has a number of ways to encourage positive engagement and for increasing awareness among Soupers, poems other Soupers are writing and submitting. Besides a wide variety of contests, both premium and non, PS has a number of features for added exposure for all poems submitted. ..And they send emails to Soupers that also reinforce all these aspects. So professionally run. Some different than the heddate sites!

I belong to a wonderful website for poets, called Poetry Soup, where I recently became a lifetime member. The website has plenty of resources, information, and tools to help poets with their poetry writing. It offers a number of contests for inspiration in a variety of poetic formats/styles. Poetry Soup is a professionally, well run website (which I find to be very refreshing), where member poets are encouraged to encourage and support other member poets, while inappropriate, disrespectful, and abusive behaviour is NOT tolerated, making the overall atmosphere warm and friendly and very conducive for making a 'creative environment'. I encourage poets who haven't found a website to fit your poetic expressive needs to checkout Poetry Soup. (https://www.poetrysoup.com/)

With this said, this poem and story was inspired by the picture I'm posting with it, presented in one of the contests on the site, called "Picture This", hosted by Joseph May. I've been missing being on a website with contests that inspire me to challenge my expression.

"Appear My Queen At The Pier"

(First half) As the life of the day nears its last breath, With a glow of crimson, forewarning its death, Upon its cresting, the reflection, daunting, The sea sets free a beauty, haunting The depths of its treasures of unknown span, The Queen Of Pearls, secluded from man. This queen, a beauty of figure, a maiden so fair, With glistening gold locks finer than Pele's hair And eyes that blend with her homing sea green, Lips sweeter than honey for a honeycomb's queen, Once a fortnight, this Queen Of The Sea, As Mr. Moon swoons, she comes for me. I wander each eve along the sea's shore, When near is the time, I long, live for, Watching intently for the tell tale sign Of soon again, she will be mine. Though my patience is tried over many a night, I know very soon the time will be right. "Will I see her again; will she come out?" Puncturing my heart with needles of doubt, Is fear I'm pained with before each time we meet, As though and worse than gripped by mesquite. Then as the tide comes in, over the incoming foam, For an auspicious clue, my eyes desperately roam. The sign, the signal, I must not miss For I can taste so sweet her magical kiss. My heart couldn't take the grief of such woe, If I were to become no longer her beau. The pressure is on, for surrounding me Is somewhere a message, elusive, a mystery. Each time the message comes in by way of unique, For I must earn and prove I'm worthy to seek This maiden so fair of beauty unsurpassed And continually I must, if our Love is to last. Only one common factor am I to ever know; A pearl will appear, in some way show. Her signature, a pearl, confirms her request And one of the finest, only the best. My Love is not just a queen of the deep sea; She is the Queen Of Pearls, her royal majesty. Sometimes I wonder why it is I she chose, But it's a secret kept, for the sea only knows. Once a seagull brought and dropped one in the sand, From the sky above, next to me to on purpose land. Another time, a sea lion rolled in with the tide And flipped a pearl to me as he winked with pride. Yet, another time, I was beckoned out into the sea, By a whale that spouted a pearl then straight to me. As my anxiety grows to an unbearable state And just when I feel I can no longer wait, With flippers anchored and a look of daring, In a coat of gold, his mischief, baring, I knew at once that what I sought Was now before me with a troubling thought. For I knew a challenge he had predesigned, To acquire this pearl would take wit of mind. Since my heart's condition was at stake, I had no room for error nor one mistake. What would be tempting too much for him; Catch him off guard to forfeit the gem?

(Second half) Through files of thoughts I ran a quick scan, Searching to find the one fool proof plan. Then he made a face at me and straight away It triggered a thought from a yesterday, When Andre, the seal, harboured a 'tude, He stuck out his tongue and blew to be rude. So, like Andre I leaned in and did the same, At the seal's face, I took a precise aim. I stuck out my tongue and blew in his face. Surprised, he hadn't time to against me, brace. The temptation too great, he returned the favour And the pearl became mine only to savour. Though he was unhappy he had been tricked, I was elated as my dilemma had been licked. With all my strength, clenched in my fist Was my ticket to passion when I was kissed By my maiden of Love to meet on the pier, Where soon now I knew she would appear. As though on wings, my feet did fly To the pier in waiting where at last, I Would be joined in Love with my queen, As soon as she appeared upon the scene. When I arrived, she was waiting there To rise out of the sea, my maiden, fair. As she rose, I pulled her so close to me And as we locked our lips, she magically Transformed into a lady, full human form, Extraordinary and far from norm. We danced, made Love; laughed and cried, Baring all of our emotions from inside. No moment was wasted, no second in time, In sync we were with both rhythm and rhyme. But time flies by too quickly it seems, When you're with the only star of your dreams. All too soon a new day was being born And a sun of gold was greeting the morn. As she stood on the pier elegantly dressed, All onlookers couldn't have ever guessed That my lady, my queen, lived in the sea And transformed back, she soon would be. As we were saying our sad good-bye, A flock of witnesses then flew by. Letting her go each time to return to the deep, Is harder than the promise to her I made to keep. Though I'm elated with joy, new memories made, I must again for a fortnight through longing, wade. As she slips quietly back into the waiting sea, My tears like rivers, shower her adoringly. The returning back to my homing place, With my tears washing my distraught face, I clutch the pearl, the precious stone, And seek only now with myself to be alone. Since there's nothing better than the best, I can only look forward to her next request. I hear a persistent knock upon my door, As I awaken, for me, someone's looking for. At first confused, I glanced around, As again came that knocking sound. "What a dream of fantasy. Wow!" I thought. But then a pearl from my dream along I'd brought...

#Corrupt_government_is_enemy_one! When a government "fears the people", the first 'order of business' is/becomes to make the people "defenseless against that government" by taking measures to put into effect "gun control" laws that will disarm the people, making the people "obedient and expendable servants" of that government. Only a corrupt government with an underlying, covert, tyrannical agenda with intentions of controlling the people as slaves to/for that government will fear the power of the people, particularly an "armed people" who are able to rise against and dismantle and destroy a corrupt government. A "disarmed people" is POWERLESS against a corrupt government with a devious agenda.

As with anyone who is deceitful, who has mastered the skills of conning others into buying/accepting/believing what they are promoting and/or pushing, our U.S. government is NO different. Our government is trying desperately to get the American People to forfeit our guns, our first line of defense, our 2nd Amendment rights. If we Americans give in and give up our right to bear arms, then we might as well also kiss our beloved country of America as we know it, good-bye. What is called "gun control" today is to become ultimately and eventually the confiscation of ALL guns and weapons from the American People.

Is our government coming straight out and saying this to us? No, of course not simply because our government knows most Americans would NEVER go along with such. So then what? What does a con artist do? They manipulate us and find ways to "convince us" to do so by instigating and creating horrific and heinous situations that will make us believe that what we are against is really the best for us, if we concede to the wishes of our "seemingly harmless" but in actuality, a covertly, blood thirsty, elitist controlled government. ..And if you think it's not "our blood" they are thirsting for, wake up!

Our government, controlled by zionist elitist appointed puppets, commonly known as the 'deep seat' or the 'industrial complex', with the very willing assistance of MSM and all the giant corporations, who are being well compensated for their loyalty to the elites, are ALL covertly working together to force we, the American People, into submission.

All the false flags are deliberately designed to intimidate us, to turn us against each other, to exploit our weaknesses, to culminate in hatred among us instead of brotherly Love and all to 'divide and conquer' us. When we fall for and allow ourselves to be manipulated and fooled, we play right into our sham of a government's "lethal and deadly hands". It is NOT the guns that we should fear and then foolishly give up. It IS our corrupted government, the true and most lethal enemy of we, the American People. Our gun bearing is NOT the enemy. Our so-called 'government' IS!

This is why it IS imperative we make it a priority to seek the truth and educate to arm ourselves with the truth, so we can learn and know our true enemy and the intricately woven, wicked web of masterly designed lies the elites and their loyal puppets have calculatingly and cunningly orchestrated to not only take over America, but the entire world. #New_World_Order_agenda #NWO

WE must #celebrate #whistleblowers and #truthtellers for having the courage and the guts to come forward with the truth they've learned so that the rest of us can be "in the KNOW", instead of 'in the dark'. It is only #truth that will set us all and keep us all FREE. We must seek absolute truth and not fall for half truths and/or fake/false truths (lies woven as truth). All those practicing the latter, we must expose them and hold them accountable for they are party to the problem, not the solution.

We must oppose ALL things, including religion if need be, that create and cause division among us, for division makes us, the people, weak and vulnerable. We must "choose" to be a part of the solution and refuse being a part of the problem. If we aren't a part of the solution, then we can only be part of the problem, since there is no acceptable "in between" zone for us to rest on our laurels in. We must uplift and encourage each other, not the opposite, which then makes us a part of the problem.

Remember: The powerful elite number only a few, but the people of the world, the masses, number billions, it's true. So, are we going to concede to the few or will we fight, by coming together and against our enemy, as ONE, UNITE!? I, for one, refuse to comply with elites and their puppets who do nothing but lie. Spread Love, not hate for our elitist enemy can't tolerate when we Love one another to make us strong, so we can then exterminate who upon us, do wrong. <3
