The Blood of Christ in Man

The First Time We Sailed Together

The First Time We Sailed Together

By Brian Thomas Armstrong

Down, down, fell the shiny crown, as the music played a sorrowful tune

And mournful screams floated on the icy air like heavy frozen zeppelin balloons

 like tulips, one by one the bodies sprang up from the rolling watery grave

Steaming as they rose in the dark frigid waters, under the light of the April moon

That early morning brought the chill of death, giving birth to a half truth, half fable

Old loves they were lost along with the new, like bad bets on a barely used poker table

She refused passage to most of her patrons to Carpathia, saying that they were of a lower class

For they were only made of old tarnished copper and her of the finest newly polished brass 

That fair maiden that left with her 3000 suitors, would selfishly spare just 700

For nothing did she leave them to hold on to in the end as she went down still looking splendid

Political Social Hysteria in 2016

2016 is the year of Social Hysteria manifesting itself in the 50/50 split division of American Society, and thus in American Politics as well. It will bring us ever closer to the brink of a dark abyss of conflicting ideologies that were once in balance by being out of balance, but who are now at equal strengths, and continue to tear at each factions power base in a natural Animalistic fight to overpower the other for the future safety of their own cause/creed. Ironically, balance cannot be restored to American society until one side gains back superiority again over the other, allowing both sides to end their aggression when the continual threat of perfect division is no longer an aggravating factor in both society and politics. The Social Hysteria that is plaguing the United States in 2016 can be explained as pure human nature itself, which is also in conflict with both its human animal mental and emotional earthly presets, and the higher spiritual   conciseness of the human being.
