It's "America" by Claude Mckay
I really don't get this poem. i would really love some help! please and thank you :)
Here it is:

Although she feeds me bread of bitterness,
And sinks into my throat her tiger's tooth,
Stealing my breath of life, I will confess
I love this cultured hell that tests my youth!
Her vigor flows like tides into my blood,
Giving me strength erect against her hate.
Her bigness sweeps my being like a flood.
Yet as a rebel fronts a king in state,
I stand within her walls with not a shred
Of terror, malice, not a word of jeer.
Darkly I gaze into the days ahead,
And see her might and granite wonders there,
Beneath the touch of Time's unerring hand,
Like priceless treasures sinking in the sand.

I believe I am ready to move on with my life with my kids. My husband is playing games with me telling me he wants me back, but he isnt tring to work on anything. He left Friday with his friend to Michigan and never called to say good bye to our daughter and I am not sure he is comeing back. Should I fight to get him to come back to me and the kids or just let my life go on?

The late Cardinal Joseph Bernardin (died 11-14-96), also gay. In some photos he displays an extremely strange & perhaps sinister hand gesture--a symbol of his membership in the occult or secret society. Think there are other Cardinals, or Bishops of the Catholic faith into satanic practices? Would every Mass be considered invalid in which he presided over? How would that effect the people who attended Mass?

You change the abortion law, and here's how it works:

Anyone can get an abortion at anytime, however the fetus or whatever you call it has to be brought out with the least amount of stress to it as possible, that is bring it out alive.

The mother must kill it, usually by suffocating it.

For the conservatives, you have maximum control over your own children, with the least amount of government involvement!

For liberals, you have all the abortion on demand you could ever ask for!


Liberals might say "we don't want to have to actually look at the fetus and have to kill it ourselves!" I say, why not? You're the one that wants it killed, do it yourself.

Conservatives might say "You're killing innocent babies! You can't allow that!" I say, so what? They're not your babies, mind your own business.

I've thought about this, and I think its the perfect solution!

What do you think?

Generally speaking, how do atheists view paranormal phenomena, such as telepathy, telekinesis, or any other type ESP? I know you cant speak for all, but I would like your opinion.
