Vital Title Transfer for the Bride and Groom in Another Room as a Dancer had the Answer

Just to keep up with a new style, while the Sand man sticks to a plan to hence understand the sentence one tense to be rinsed as the Grinch defends his tent in a pinch despite its foul rotten odor of a stench mouthed one voter who was NOT that dense in past present and future tense hence the bench warrant quarantine latrine screaming beanie baby trading card retarded jarred smarties party past time hardly hardy bartering shotgun runtime bubble covered in Nick at night slime time grime crockery stole bike spike Lymes disease treaty spiked seizer sky high geyser lightning bolt jolt soda colt cold shouldered boulder scolded holding smoldering diamond ring rugged bug-eyed smuggler tug of war tare of a care bare share holder folder to be both bad and bolder like gold oil and drugs with extra hugs and butt plugs underneath the rugs for the fuzz buzzing love jugs whatever that was or wasn’t but not my cousin nuzzling the guzzled puzzling Charlie Sheen screaming ice cream machine that feeds a team and the b team both green beans and brings the fiends back to their gene’s roots and boot scooting things... Let us see what else life brings.  The Time is NOW!  POW!!!

Premium Member MATTER FIRST SPIRIT-

Sorley, what happens is the next time future-tense
Surely, present is the now of the matter
So it doesn’t matter about matter
Because spirit comes first/forth

Premium Member THAT---MATTERS

How come the outcome makes the present..  Future tense?
And why is it plausible 
To be undeniable 
As our soul is a pliable
We are thirsty but yet we are quince 
By the reverence of Elohim 
For it is in Him 
Creator of all things "that matters!"

Premium Member Stuck in Present Tense

Past tense spoke it was you because it knew 
future tense will say surely you until
daylight disappears into the sunset,
where melodies of starlit angels flew
with every note of joy from Poet’s quill,
forever two in heaven’s own duet.

Present tense says we are in a struggle 
to find that which makes the two of us trill
in harmonic peace with celestial view,
perhaps with freedom from mortal trouble,
but real life needs working through .

Premium Member WHO IS NEVER AT FAULT-

WHO IS NEVER AT FAULT

Selah Selah Selah 
eh eh eh wooo! 
 A wooo oh woo woo...
Who is at never, at fault;
Beloved we all stumbled,
In many ways yet even in this; 
Already been dismissed; 
It's been nailed to the cross; 
Our past present and future hurts; 
And imperfect that I am;
 I am love loved not judged;
Even in my mistakes;  
Oh my my my
why why why 
Oh! Perfect God love an imperfect me;
When I am at fault past present future tense; 
Have already been forgiven;
Who is at never at fault;
Though I do make faults My Father has already forgiven Hallelujah

Premium Member CHILDREN AND THE ELDERLY

May we be blessed to understand 
across this planet on which we dwell…
there is reason for the way old people and children always get along so well

It’s in what they share with each other
despite one being more in the past…and the other more in the future tense
because old people with the children share their wisdom…
while children with the old people share their innocence.


Premium Member BLESSED WITNESS-

Blessed witness
Come to me my child
Father says to me in a still voice
You're my mine beloved
I created you from heaven
Sent you down to earth
Through a spiritual tunnel
Grew within a womb  of your mother
Father fertile the egg of mama
You'll incubate inside mother's womb
Until you emerge
Spirit first encased in flesh Before during and after, past, present future tense
Angels sing God ordain you
Beloved beautiful
Blessed witness
Hallelujah forever blessed
Nine months covered until you emerge
Come to me my child
Father says to me in a still voice
You're my mine beloved
I created you from heaven
Sent you down to earth
Come to me my child
Father says to me in a still voice
You're my mine beloved
Blessed witness

apogee

Tomorrow will come today 
As I look behind to see past my second sight
Tomorrow is now as yesterday is future tense
I linger in this unknown moment as the universe 
Tilts on its axis as my mind fumbles in the dark
The planets aline along the horizon’s edge 
A blade sharp across desolate dreams
As today is tomorrow in hindsight, now
A future is here to the next, a world away 
Tomorrow is now and forever at play
The present is the next day and beyond 
I linger in the moments between time
As the planets are a line in the universe, divine 
Creation in its apogee, I’m in my mystery 
Tomorrow is today as futures are passing away…

Premium Member LET THEM EAT CAKE-

 Privileged classes are unsympathetic or unaware of the plight of the poor;
Their pride, prejudice and hate;

- Madame so am I the peasants have no bread to eat.

"Question, so them if I am poor
And have not moneys, for bread?
And the rich then so says…
“Let me eat cake”
It’s not logical?
For if mere breads cost .25 cents---
How can it be you’ll offer throw at me cake?
Which cost more than two-dollars??"


Question?---
What does let them eat cake mean slang?
The entire point of the phrase is that someone is so out of touch with reality/regular people that their response to "There's a shortage of bread" is to say "Well then, they should eat cake instead", as if that's a sensible solution
 When in History does this apply?
1789
1970
2023
Always!  present, future, tense

Premium Member Sense Absence In Future Tense

The absence was glaring 
like an elephant, 
monstrous,illusive,
membranous, diaphanous,
obvious to everyone
in the room, complicit in joint deception.
The unwritten absence, never
resolved, never truly dealt with,
hung like a pall of smoke
you could see, smell and taste,
but not hear nor feel.
For no one wanted to mention it,
nor to transact 
the fleeting memories into
the currency of present tense.
The absence was obvious,
but was locked away in the past,
for sense resolution
in future tense.

Premium Member An Aphotic Place

There's an aphotic place; found within my percipience
Endeavoring; I will face it past, present, future-tense
My hope is that its destination; is evanescence
Support in overcoming it, you; will my persistence
As everything is rising to a convergence
May that one percent; never find its resurgence
