The
Eagles “Hole in the World” (2003)
I hope you pause to click
the link to listen. This is the first time, in 239 articles, that I
have used a song as a heading in an article. I have done so in this
240th article. It is fitting. The lyrics are:
There's a hole in the
world tonight.
There's a cloud of fear
and sorrow.
There's a hole in the
world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole
in the world tomorrow.
They say that anger is
just love disappointed.
They say that love is just
a state of mind,
But all this fighting over
who will be anointed.
Oh how can people be so
blind
There's a hole in the
world tonight.
There's a cloud of fear
and sorrow.
There's a hole in the
world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole
in the world tomorrow.
Oh they tell me there's a
place over yonder,
Cool water running through
the burning sand,
Until we learn to love one
another
We will never reach the
promise land.
There's a hole in the
world tonight.
There's a cloud of fear
and sorrow.
There's a hole in the
world tonight.
Don't let there be a hole
in the world tomorrow.
From
https://www.songfacts.com/facts/eagles/hole-in-the-world:
Don Henley started writing this song on one of the darkest days in
American history: September 11, 2001. He wrote in the liner notes for
The Very Best Of The Eagles compilation: "I sat down at the
piano in my home studio and started putting some chords with the
phrase 'hole in the world.' Months went by, but I didn't show it to
anybody. Then, other things started happening that gave additional
meanings to 'Hole in the World,' particularly after the [Iraq] war
started. The fighting was supposedly over in May, and yet one or two
or three of our boys were - and still are - getting killed every day,
which means somebody's daddy is not coming home. So that's another
'hole' - a huge hole in somebody's life - a child, a wife, a mother,
a father, a brother, a sister.”
The Eagles
website doesn't mention the song or the reason for the song. It
should. It is a timeless song.
The Holes in the World
The above hole is or was a
diamond mine in Eastern Siberia – according to the link that I
won't site. (You can search “hole in the word” on “Gaggle,”
to find the image.)
On this Sunday afternoon
(8/29/2021), about 3:30 PM, as I type this sentence, I HAVE ABOUT HAD
IT – HAVEN'T YOU? The hole in the world is too large. I am
despondent. I am pensive as I write this article.
I had planned this article
to be on “poly-tics” (poly or “many” from Greek + ticks or
blood suckers). I will not write on the topic, except briefly
(below). A deeper article on “poly-tics” would leave me
more despondent and pensive than I am already.
Let's start counting the
holes in the world. I wish that I didn't have to write this. This is
not a complete list. I wouldn't have stopped writing, if I had
written a complete list! Here we go!
(1) Afghanistan.
9/11/2001 started it. They hit us first. The USA hit back -- weakly,
over almost 20 years. The first president of the USSA plans to get
the USSA out on 8/31/2021 – two short days from today. He has no
clue. The folks that pull his puppet strings have no clue. The USA,
from 9/11/2001 to now, has been losing an almost 20-year war against
an enemy who uses pitch forks for weapons. The “war against terror”
could have been won in a year or two. The USA and allies won World
War II in about four years or less.
In its mindless rush to get
out of its 20-year lost war in Afghanistan, the USSA is leaving
behind countless millions of monopoly money dollars worth of military
equipment and supplies. Who cares? The USSA doesn't.
On 8/26/2021, Thursday, an
enemy suicide killed 13 USA (as I must respect them, so not USSA)
soldiers. One soldier who died was a 2016 graduate of Gibbs High
school. The high school is about a two-mile drive north of our “40
acres” – very close to home. Local media has articles about it.
Afghanistan is a hole that
hit close to home, on 8/26/2021. The hole will widen. The deaths will
multiply. I am despondent.
(2) Illegal alien
invasion. The USSA southern border remains wide open! All the
desperate, poor, hunger, evil and good, adults and children, and the
COVID-19 infected or not folks can come on into the USSA. The USSA
will give them transportation to their favorite USSA location, a house,
a car, food, and spending money – even if the local yokels in the
area object or don't even know! It's only fair! The equal
distribution of wealth needs to happen – to make everyone poor and
dependent on the USSA. The USSA needs more illegals to come in, to
ensure the Socialist Utopians get enough votes, to keep them in power
– until voting won't be legal anymore!
Aren't y'all tired of it? I
am. I am despondent.
(3) Monopoly money.
The USSA will keep printing the monopoly money to support the USSA
Socialist Utopian dream! “It's all good,” as it is said! The USSA
needs to fund “infrastructure” improvements and other pipe
dreams! No worries! Enough RINO Republicans joined the Democrat
Socialist Utopians to get the bill passed. The first USSA president
(a puppet) was glad to sign the bill into law (after the ones who
pull his puppet strings had loaded him up on whatever medications he
needed, to be somewhat coherent in his speech, so he could sign the
bill).
I
had a working document on the details. I'm glad that I deleted it. I
am despondent.
(4) Corona Myopia
Psychosis. The various “variants” are hitting the USSA in
spades! I wrote about my “Corony
Epsilon” case. I'm fine now. It was a minor cold virus. I
didn't miss work. It didn't matter.
Yes, I know that medical
providers are feeling the burn of the new cold virus. I know that
folks are either getting sick and recovering or dying from it. I know
all the websites. I deleted my working document that had various
details.
Folks are dying every day –
from old age, cancer, heart trouble, strokes, vehicle accidents, and
many other maladies. I had details in my deleted working document. It would have wasted my time to have published the details.
The Corona Myopia Psychosis
is a tool that the USSA Socialist Utopians are using to keep the
fearful afraid. I am not one of the fearful. I am despondent.
(5) Race war. My
deleted working document had included: “Juneteenth, on the 19th
day of June, annually, will be a day off work!” I referenced a
Congress.gov
website that you can check, if you are bored. The Critical Race
Theory (CRT) ideology is making the rounds on the various media.
I thought that the content
of character mattered – not the skin color. Well, that's what
Martin Luther King Jr. said, as he reflected the moral code of the Good
Lord. I am despondent.
(6) PGI/PGO. Apparently, the Commission
for LGBT People has no clue that God created us male and female.
Some fools think that there are either 12
or 58
different genders. You can click the links, if you are bored. I
deleted my working document on this, which had several details, about
which I no longer care.
Some of my
readers have been wondering what “PGI/PGO” means. PGI
is “person of genitalia innie.” PGO is “person of genitalia
outie.”
If anyone questions his or her gender (as there are only two options), then I suggest strongly: drop your drawers in private
(please). Look between your legs. Do you have a genitalia innie or
outie? If you have an innie, you are a female. If you have an outie,
you are a male.
PGI/PGO
folks should use the proper restrooms and play sports on the correct
teams. Are you not tired of this silliness? I am. I am despondent.
The
Whole in the World
The Oak
Ridge Boys gave a great rendition of “Jesus Is Coming Soon!”
I hope that you click the link and enjoy their version of the song
(after you skip the advertisement)!
The hole in
the world is a bunch of gnats. The gnats get in the way of looking
toward the whole in the world. I have wiped the gnats away from my
eyes, finally, by this 240th article! I hope that this article helps
you do the same.
Keep
replaying the Oak Ridge Boys singing “Jesus is Coming Soon!” It
helps. Hey! I have this article published well before supper – for
a change!
BY the way,
“Jesus is coming soon” means that “a year is as but a day.”
Soon, to Jesus' perspective, may take several more decades or
centuries. I hope not! Come, dear Lord! Come NOW! Well, he didn't
yet. I AM STILL WAITING – as PATIENTLY as an Irishman can!
