XIII.

O, that you were yourself! but, love, you are
No longer yours than you yourself here live:
Against this coming end you should prepare,
And your sweet semblance to some other give.
So should that beauty which you hold in lease
Find no determination: then you were
Yourself again after yourself's decease,
When your sweet issue your sweet form should bear.
Who lets so fair a house fall to decay,
Which husbandry in honour might uphold
Against the stormy gusts of winter's day
And barren rage of death's eternal cold?
O, none but unthrifts! Dear my love, you know
You had a father: let your son say so.

Thank you for joining us to end abortion!

 

Hi Timothy, Thank you for joining us to end abortion! Below are four important news articles we picked out for you. Will you be one of the 365 needed?   Abortion is not only still happening, but it is even expanding in certain states. Every American needs to see Live Action content that has proven to change hearts and save lives. For every dollar given, 34 more people can be reached with the truth about abortion. We are looking for 365 new monthly donors by October 14 to ensure we can reach millions more people within the next year.    We must reach people with the truth before the abortion industry reaches them with its lies. Will you join us in this life-saving work as a monthly donor today? Your loving gifts are the only reason we are able to continue our critical work. Click the button below to begin. Thank you! - The Live Action Team The Supreme Court Declines to Hear Case Regarding Personhood of Preborn Children The Supreme Court of the United States declined on Tuesday to take on a case centered on the personhood of preborn children. The case involves a lawsuit filed by Catholics for Life and two pro-life activists on behalf of their preborn children against Rhode Island’s Reproductive Privacy Act, which made abortion a state right when it was signed into law in 2019. Trial Begins for Neonatal Nurse Accused of Killing 7 Babies A neonatal nurse, arrested in 2020 for allegedly killing or attempting to kill babies in the neonatal unit where she worked, pleaded not guilty on Monday to the horrific crimes — 22 in all.  New Study Adds to Body of Research Showing Negative Effects of Abortion on Women Support After Abortion, an online organization devoted to helping people impacted by abortion find hope and healing, recently published the results of a study it commissioned, which was conducted by the group Shapard Research. The study surveyed 114 women who obtained chemical abortions (commonly referred to as “medication abortions”) about their experiences. FBI Won’t Provide Updates Regarding Attacks on Pro-Life Organizations, Centers, Churches The Federal Bureau of Investigation will not share whether it has made any arrests related to attacks on pro-life centers, organizations, and Catholic churches following the leak of the Supreme Court opinion overturning Roe v. Wade. Live Action is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Gifts are tax-deductible in the United States. No goods or services are offered or given in exchange for contributions.

Chocolate Is A Redeemer by Ife Olatona

 

Chocolate Is A Redeemer

by Ife Olatona

I am trying to eat amala tonight. I think of God and throats often. Being African is a religion. I am sixteen, highly unfervent. I read its holy words like sand in my mouth, embarrassing my grandparents. I was born the colour of brown sugar, a home of honey at the back of my mouth. I grew up forgetting. I coiled my tongue and wasted saliva spewing imaginary snow, cherishing its texture more than pounded yam. I feared the weight of my name and envied the fluffy feel of Smith and Peterson. I tugged my hair and pulled it through my teeth to make it curl. It remained coiled, stubborn, like my African home in me. Being an African boy is a religion. Highly unfervent, my penitence reflects in a taste for ankara and chocolates. Yes, chocolates. They are great redeemers like Google Translate. Perhaps even greater. It’s lovely to eat a slight representation of yourself, even if it doesn’t, like amala, taste of home or wear a much darker, truthful shade of your skin.

Living For World Peace in a Black Rocket

By you are

In the style of The Beatles

Oh yeah, I'll tell you something,
I think you'll understand.
When I'll say that something,
I want to hold your pencil,
I want to hold your pencil,
I want to hold your pencil.

Oh please, say to me,
You'll let me eat pizzas.
And please, say to me,
You'll let me strip naked.
Now let me hold your pencil,
I want to hold your pencil.

Imagine there's no girls.
It's easy if you try.
No guitars in the moon,
Above us only babies.
Imagine all the people,
Living for world peace...

You may say I'm an annoying,
But I'm not the only one.
I hope someday you'll join us,
And the world will become dystopian.

All you need is bigger chocolate.
All you need is bigger chocolate.
All you need is bigger chocolate, bigger chocolate.
Bigger chocolate is all you need.

We all live in our black rocket,
Black rocket, black rocket,
We all live in our black rocket,
Black rocket, black rocket.

Oh yeah!

A Hopeful and Cheery Child

By Merry birthday

A Christmas Song

Last Christmas, I gave you my toy
But the very next day, you fell into it
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to Annabel Lee

I'm dreaming of a cold Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the children glisten and mice listen
To hear cars in the snow

You were Happy
You were merry
Monarch of England
When the band finished playing
They howled out for more
The crowd were swinging
All the mice they were singing
You asked me to drink
And then we did smoke

But then last Christmas, I gave you my toy
And the very next day, you fell into it
This year, to save me from tears
I'll give it to Annabel Lee instead

You're gloomy
You're sick
Happy Christmas to you
I pray God it's your last

Rockin' around the Christmas your mamma
At the Christmas party hop,
Rockin' around the Christmas your mamma,
Let the Christmas spirit ring,
Later I'll have some chocolate
And me and Annabel Lee will smoke

I don't want a lot for Christmas
There is just one thing I need
I don't care about books
I just want Annabel Lee for my own
More than you could ever know
Make my wish come true oh
All I want for Christmas is Annabel Lee

Oh, Annabel Lee yeah, oh Annabel Lee yeah
Annabel Lee the child is a hopeful, cheery soul
Annabel Lee the child is a fairy tale they say

Annabel Lee baby, I want you and really that is all
I'll wait up for you, dear
Annabel Lee baby, won't you smoke with me tonight?

So here it is, cold Christmas
Everybody's here to drink
Look to the future now
It's only just begun

Simply having a cold Christmastime
Simply having a cold Christmastime

Our Dystopic Tomato Love

By Big Brother

A Love Song For Peterson

This one's for you Mrs Winston!

My love for you is like the most dystopic tomato,
Your face reminds me of haunted dinosaurs,
Together, we are like hot dog and mayonnaise.

Oh darling Peterson,
My dystopic tomato,
My haunted potato,
The perfect companion to my hot dog soul.

Rubies are red,
Smurfs are blue,
I like puppies,
But not as much as I love editing with you!

Oh darling Peterson,
Your fingers are like unlikely toes on a fall day,
You're like the most unlucky poet to ever walk bathroom.

Your haunted dinosaur face,
Your mayonnaise soul,
Your unlikely fingers,
Your unlucky poet being...

How could I look at another when our dystopic tomato love is so strong?

I love you Mrs Winston!

The more perversity increases, the more we should fight it.

 

Dear Mr. Timor You, The more perversity increases, the more we should fight it. According to reports: "The Doernbecher Children's Hospital in Portland provides an instructional guide… In the guidance, the children's hospital also directs minors to a 'sex-positive shop in Portland [i.e. the sex 'toy store', called She Bop] ...' "The sex toy store offers 'virtual offerings' that provide: 'Fun and interactive sex toy chat + Q&A facilitated by one of our sex toy experts.' The sex toy store also offers online classes about sexual activities, including [sado-masicistic practices]. "The children's hospital admits, 'The shop is for people age 18 and older, but they offer appointments before or after hours for younger [minor] shoppers.'" [my emphasis; Robert] (Source: TheBlaze.com) Sign the petition to Doernbecher Children's Hospital, demanding that it remove sexual and "transgender" resources from its site Doernbecher Children's Hospital, an affiliate of Oregon Health and Science University, also has pages dedicated to "transgender" medicine on its website...for children as young as ten years old! The clinic provides resources on its site to encourage girls to "bind" their chest and boys to "tuck" their genitals, and directs children to websites that assist them in doing so, including the "sex toy" shop. CLICK HERE to sign the petition to Doernbecher Children's Hospital, telling it to pull its "transgender” treatment for children The attacks on children and innocence never end. But that does not mean we should stop defending children. Please sign our petition to Doernbecher Children's Hospital, urging it to pull all its sexual and "transgender" resources from its website at once. Thank you.  And may Our Lady reward you! I remain your friend, In Jesus and Mary, Robert E.
