ONWINGERS
*
Whether leftwinger or a rightwinger
vegans are upwingers
... geese with protected wings
grateful being onwingers

(Iranian vegetarian F M Esfandiary used the
term upwinger)
*
FORKED GRAVES
*
axes, clubs, electric shocking rods, knives, hands wringing necks,
electric harpoons, steel jaw traps etc.
are instruments of death for innocent animals bound for slaughter
... but the fork is a gravedigger's shovel... used to
insert corpse pieces nto the cemetery's gaping mouth hole...
the fork too can be an
instrument of death... for those who eat of death
*
AUCTION BLOCK DIFFERENCES
*
The difference between the auction blocks of slaves of
all races and the auction blocks of animal slaves?
The animal slaves are nearly always already slain, their
bodies subdivided and wrapped in plastic... resting in morgue
freezers
*
MAURY REISHTEIN
*
MR lived the philosophy that beggars can be choosers..
he chose the 12 most hopeless cases he could find, and spent his
life serving them
*
THREAD CABOOSE
*
Those who welcome any caboose or private car on their thread
trains are rare
*
ENDEAVOR
*
those who have
achieved endless bliss
often work without ceasing
but they end ever
striving endeavor
*
DEMATERIALIZING POSSESSIONS
*
The infinite library of the internet suddenly appears when
one presses a computer button. How wonderful it would be to
have our physical possessions disappear when we were not using
them and then magically reappear on demand.
*
FALLEN SOLDIERS RISE
*
The dead stars on coffin-draping
flags which cover the bodies
of innocent boys fallen in
unjust wars.... do not shine..
.
... but radiant are all soldiers'
souls as toward heaven
from many countries
they climb.

Sooner or later all fallen
soldiers rise
