@ Xanthus - So you didn't get all the horse jokes?

 

I am very dissapointed.

 

Google your name Xanthus, in Greek mythology Xanthus was a talking horse.

Hi Vicky Pollard,

 

Poseidon gave the two horses to King Peleus of Phtia, as a wedding gift, when Peleus married the Ocean goddess Thetis.

 

Peleus later gave the horses to his son Achilles who took them to draw his chariot during the Trojan War.

 

Book XVI of the Iliad tells us that Achilles had a third horse, Pedasos (maybe "Jumper", maybe "Captive"), which was yoked as a "trace horse", along with Xanthus and Balios. Achilles had captured Pedasos when he took the city of Eetion. Pedasos was mortal, but he could keep up with the divine horses. Sarpedon, prince of Lycia and ally of Troy, killed Pedasos when his spear missed Patroclus.

 

Achilles' comrade-in-arms Patroclus used to feed and groom the horses. In the Iliad, it is told how, when Patroclus was killed in battle, Xanthus and Balius stood motionless on the field of battle, and wept.

 

In Iliad XVII, 590, Automedon, Achilles' charioteer, states that only Patroclus was able to fully control these horses.

 

When Xanthus was rebuked by the grieving Achilles for allowing Patroclus to be slain, Hera granted Xanthus human speech which broke Divine law , saying that a god had killed Patroclus, and that a god would soon kill Achilles too. After this, the Erinyes struck the horse dumb.

What do the colours of the flag represent?

Green for prosperity

White for peace

Red for the blood of the fallen heroes of the liberation.

Shahada is for Islam

The Black star is for the demise of the united Somalia dream.

[me]

So the black star in the secessionist enities flag stands for the 'demise' of United Somalia, while the white star in the Somali Flag stands for the unity and brotherhood of the Somali nation.

 

Hmmm that black star is kinda negative wouldn't you say?

[-Nomadique-]

What is a Black Star?

Is it the cat with the black shades, the black car?

Is it shinin from very far, to where you are?

It is commonplace and different

Intimate and distant

Fresher than an infant

No one said they were happy about the demise of unity and brotherhood, maybe they were able to look ahead and see that things were just not working out, and you maybe able to protect that brotherhood if nothing else by going in different directions before things get real ugly again.

 

I’ll give you an example:

 

I’m married and I have two kids, me and my husband have a fight and he beats the hell out of me and the kids, then i am able to push him off and he leaves. I demand a divorce, my family and friends and his family and friends all try to persuade me to give it another try, but I acknowledge all their advise and appreciate it but at the same time I stick to my decision. After many years, he starts seeing his mistake and releases me of marriage contract in an effort to build a bridge. Maybe I would raise our kids with out telling them what a B* he was and how he abused their mother, and they will love him as their distance father. You see as if I had bent with pressure and allowed him back him, he would (or may) have repeated his beating over again, his kids will hate him for life, and I might one day lose it totally and kill him in his sleep. What a sad ending eh…..

 

my point is a bad ending can be better than an even worse ending

[N.O.R.F]

^^dont worry you will be blamed for it and called a husbandtionist

 

Me, but we have the shahada

[-Nomadique-]

Northerner you really are in the mood to provoke today aren't you lol.

[me]

The streets is watchin me, I watch back, that's the policy

Movin along my oddesey like blood through the artery

Navigate the treacherous and make it seem effortless

This one is for Nomad

 

Visions occupy my synaptic's space

Command and shake, to illustrate my mind's landscape

The tall grass, the low plains, the mountanous ridges

Thickets among the forests, rivers beneath the bridges

Presence of hilltops, lit up with tree tops

Eavesdrop; and hear the incline of sunshine, nine

Stones in orbit, refuse to forfeit

They all form a cipher, and they came to observe it

I follow suit, and face it, embrace it

Shinin bright, but still I'm careful not to waste it

Destined to rise, because I'm basement adjacent

Spirit is still so just chill and be patient

Some heads approach like I'm the one to base with

Clowns about, screamin but don't say shit

 

Xanthus - lets not refer the secessionist entity as a hysterical female. Waa rag rag ah nooh , they might get offended by your in appropriate anology.

[N.O.R.F]

Easy to point the finger

Eat your heart out Jerry Springer

Stump you like Malinga (cricket watchers will know this one)

[-Nomadique-]

You're joking aren't you Me

 

Cause and effect, affect everything you do

and that's why I got love in the face of hate

Hands steady so the lines in the mental illustration is straight

The thought you had don't even contemplate

Infinite like figure eight there's no escape..

 

Im out.
