If only that would happen here. /snark

And I should care about this... why?

Pity would be no more,
If we did not MAKE men poor - William Blake


If we did not make somebody Poor: - Signym, you botched your copying.

But even worse, without the next 22 lines of this poem, the first two lines have a different meaning.

The Human Abstract

Pity would be no more,
If we did not make somebody Poor:
And Mercy no more could be,
If all were as happy as we;

And mutual fear brings peace;
Till the selfish loves increase.
Then Cruelty knits a snare,
And spreads his baits with care.

He sits down with holy fears,
And waters the ground with tears:
Then Humility takes its root
Underneath his foot.

Soon spreads the dismal shade
Of Mystery over his head;
And the Caterpillar and Fly,
Feed on the Mystery.

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat;
And the Raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.

The Gods of the earth and sea,
Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the Human Brain.

THUGR, the deaths have the Hallmark of internecine warfare between oligarchs.

Curious Number Of Russian Oligarchs Have Died Since Invasion Of Ukraine



Including killing wives and daughters. He’s just gorging on power - a mass murderer without a real, viable plan other than murder. What does having Donbas do for ANYONE?? Even him? Just EGO. Is he trying to surpass Stalin in murdering his own people? Didn’t he say Ukrainians and Russians were one and the same?





He is cracking G. He knows his legacy is that of a failed leader. He destroyed Russia and he knows it. What's more, he knows the world knows it as well.

I think maybe the oligarchs he is killing he dislikes and doesn't want them celebrating his downfall. He'd rather kill them.

The Dunning-Kruger Effect is strong with this one.

Signym, you didn't read to the end of the William Blake poem or else you would NOT be misquoting it thousands of times over many years. Here are the last few lines Blake wrote about deceitful Signym:

And it bears the fruit of Deceit,
Ruddy and sweet to eat;
And the Raven his nest has made
In its thickest shade.

The Gods of the earth and sea,
Sought thro' Nature to find this Tree
But their search was all in vain:
There grows one in the Human Brain.

Signym, you don't understand the poem, but these people can help you:

The more you try to convince me that I don't understand the poem, the more you validate my understanding. Perhaps it's YOU that doesn't understand.

This is beyond that, SIX. This is delusion.

Altho he's been wrong about almost everything he posted and his "clocks" are ticking uselessly in a void, THUGR can never admit it. I can't imagine him ever facing up to reality, it would destroy him. And CAPON, who knows better, is just feeding him magic mushrooms and leading him over a cliff.

The first two lines of poem are
Pity would be no more,
If we did not make somebody Poor:

In only 12 words, Signym, you got one of them wrong. No, make that 3 wrong, take William Blake's name off Signym's signature. Perhaps William Blake would be a big Putin/Trump defender, as is Signym, but I have doubts. In case of confusion, William Blake is NOT defending slavery or torturing in the below illustration.

Second gets everything about everybody and everything wrong every day and he's quibbling about a line in a poem.

A poem he didn't even know existed until he finally got around to googleing your signature out of boredom so he could make half a dozen dumb posts about it.

Meanwhile, Ted isn't delusional. He's stupid. He's rocking a 30 IQ and is barely intelligent enough to wipe his own ass. I admire the forcefulness with which he states his opinions given the fact that time has always proven him wrong about everything.
