A quotation from Voltaire

POMPEY: It is vain for the coward to fly; death follows close behind;
   It is only by defying it that the brave escape.
 
[POMPEE: Le lâche fuit en vain; la mort vole à sa suite:
   C’est en la défiant que le brave l’évite.]

Voltaire (1694-1778) French writer [pseud. of Francois-Marie Arouet]
Le Triumvirat [The Triumvirate], Act 4, sc. 7 (1763)

Twisted Sister - We're Not Gonna Take it (Extended Version)

https://u2be.ovh/w/jASjo5drmK6p6pwkVxvBLv?start=0s&autoplay=1

You're watching the official music video for Twisted Sister - "We're Not Gonna Take It (Extended Version)" from the album 'Stay Hungry' (1984). "We're Not Gonna Take It" has been covered by Donots, "Weird Al" Yankovic, and Lit among others, and has been featured in a number of television commercials and shows. Welcome to Twisted Sister’s official music video, home of iconic heavy metal and glam rock hits “I Wanna Rock,” “We’re Not Gonna Take It,” “Burn In Hell,” and “The Price” as well as smash albums ‘You Can’t Stop Rock ‘N’ Roll,’ ‘Stay Hungry,’ and the best-selling holiday album ‘A Twisted Christmas.’ Twisted Sister formed in 1973 and over their 48-year legacy, lead singer Dee Snider, guitarists Jay Jay French and Eddie Ojeda, bassist Mark “The Animal” Mendoza, and drummer A.J. Pero sold more than 20 million records and performed more than 9,000 shows – including 125 headline festival dates. Their electrifying stage presence and theatricality along with their fist-pumping anthems of youthful rebellion transcend generations and cultures and have made them one of the greatest heavy metal bands in history.

Lyrics:
We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We've got the right to choose, and
There ain't no way we'll lose it
This is our life, this is our song
We'll fight the powers that be, just
Don't pick on our destiny, 'cause
You don't know us, you don't belong

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

Oh, you're so condescending
Your call is never ending
We don't want nothin', not a thing from you
Your life is trite and jaded
Boring and confiscated
If that's your best, your best won't do

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)

Whoa-whoa, we're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore
No way!

Woah-oh-oh
Woah-oh-oh
We're right (yeah)
We're free (yeah)
We'll fight (yeah)
You'll see (yeah)

We're not gonna take it
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore

We're not gonna take it (no!)
No, we ain't gonna take it
We're not gonna take it anymore (just you try and make us)

We're not gonna take it (come on!)
No, we ain't gonna take it (you're all worthless and weak)
We're not gonna take it anymore (now drop and give me 20)

We're not gonna take it (a pledge pin)
No, we ain't gonna take it (on your uniform)
We're not gonna take it anymore

My, or: Throbbing pulse

A Sijo

let them divide the heart’s chambers between strangers and landsmen; hometown verses cross oceans in accents softened by sorrow; I know their fiercest devotions by my own throbbing pulse

d’Verse poetics: “Let Them”

At d’Verse, we are encouraged to compose poems inspired by the phrase “Let Them”.

Sijo?

A Korean verse form related to haiku and tanka and comprised of three lines of 14-16 syllables each, for a total of 44-46 syllables. Each line contains a pause near the middle, similar to a caesura, though the break need not be metrical. The first half of the line contains six to nine syllables; the second half should contain no fewer than five. Originally intended as songs, sijo can treat romantic, metaphysical, or spiritual themes. Whatever the subject, the first line introduces an idea or story, the second supplies a “turn,” and the third provides closure. Modern sijo are sometimes printed in six lines.

Let’s write poetry together!

When it comes to partnership, some humans can make their lives alone – it’s possible. But creatively, it’s more like painting: you can’t just use the same colours in every painting. It’s just not an option. You can’t take the same photograph every time and live with art forms with no differences.

Ben Harper (b. 1969)

Would you like to create poetry with me and have a completed poem of yours featured here at the Skeptic’s Kaddish? I am very excited to have launched the ‘Poetry Partners’ initiative and am looking forward to meeting and creating with you… Check it out!

Bullying Persists

Kids don’t bully because they’re defiant. They bully because they’re practicing the only conflict logic they’ve seen. Zero‑tolerance missed that entirely. Check out my music! More Topics

#Defiance (2008)

Jewish brothers in German-occupied Eastern Europe escape into a Belorussian forest, where they join Russian resistance fighters, and endeavor to build a village, in order to protect themselves.
