“What of the hunting, hunter bold? Brother, the watch was long and cold. What of the quarry ye went to kill? Brother, he crops in the jungle still. Where is the power that made your pride? Brother, it ebbs from my flank and side. Where is the haste that ye hurry by? Brother, I go to my lair to die!”

...greatness.

Kipling is based as fuck and eveery man should read him If Gunga Din And my Favorite, The Betrothed

https://www.poetryloverspage.com/poets/kipling/betrothed.html

Open the old cigar-box -- let me consider anew -- Old friends, and who is Maggie that I should abandon you?

A million surplus Maggies are willing to bear the yoke; And a woman is only a woman, but a good Cigar is a Smoke.

Light me another Cuba -- I hold to my first-sworn vows. If Maggie will have no rival, I'll have no Maggie for Spouse!

Grave men, near death, who see with blinding sight Blind eyes could blaze like meteors and be gay, Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

And you, my father, there on the sad height, Curse, bless, me now with your fierce tears, I pray. Do not go gentle into that good night. Rage, rage against the dying of the light.

Do not go gentle into that good night -Dylan Thomas

Also, Beowulf.

"The Sun Wheel"

The great fury of being fills me with some purpose whos name unknown, like fire rises from within the specter of my forefathers the wilderness in my soul.

So twix these devils and the deep May courteous trumpets sound. To welcome fate's discourtesy Whereby it may be found. How in all times of our distress And our salvation, too.

The game

is more than the players of the game...

And the ship more than the crew.

The Second Coming

Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity.

Surely some revelation is at hand; Surely the Second Coming is at hand. The Second Coming! Hardly are those words out When a vast image out of Spiritus Mundi Troubles my sight: somewhere in sands of the desert A shape with lion body and the head of a man, A gaze blank and pitiless as the sun, Is moving its slow thighs, while all about it Reel shadows of the indignant desert birds. The darkness drops again; but now I know That twenty centuries of stony sleep Were vexed to nightmare by a rocking cradle, And what rough beast, its hour come round at last, Slouches towards Bethlehem to be born?

  • W. B. Yeats

Greatness.

You know what else is slouching towards Bethlehem? Nuclear hellfire. It can't be stopped because jews won't stop until they are burnt offerings. Holocausted. They're fucking begging for it, those sick fucks.

I hate to admit it, but it took me most of my life to understand "four score and seven years ago..." was about a UNITED States of America.

Niggers still have to go. They are not human. Different species. Jews are loyal to Israel. Good for them. Get the fuck out of American government, all politics, the media, schools....

...I have no idea how to get them out of banking.

maybe crypto is the answer?

If I would have bought 10 BitCoins back in 2009, I'd be a millionaire today.

...but money is faggotry, too. Fuck money.
