Are you fed-up with garbage, full-of-shit sites where nobody actually communicates, such as Facebook, Instagram and Tumblr? Do you wish your old friends who've migrated to those sites would return to LiveJournal? The the_lj_revival community has been set up with that aim in mind, and you are invited to join it. If you are already on LiveJournal and still have a Facebook profile, and would like to see more people returning to LJ or setting up accounts here, we invite you to post a link to this community on your Facebook Timeline. If you would like to find out who is still using LiveJournal and make contact with those who are already here, you are invited to copy and paste the 'about me' questions on the profile page and post them with your answers to the community.

A random Happening-by

Uruk
(for the jewels of Baghdad)

The jewelled veils no longer lift
From faces touched with golden dust,
Blue-tinted eyes behind cool silk;
Bright charms and river-silver beads
Are now dull, crumbling flakes of paint
That stain the cracked tiles at our feet.
Wet lips and tongue that tasted drops
Of ancient water from deep wells
Are sterile now in kiln-hot sand,
Torn by spearhead strike and slash
And smothered in Mars' orange cloak.

But still we dance, as all around us,
Stumps of palace walls like teeth
Cracked and worn to sandy gums
Faceless soldiers fired in clay
Shake their ancient dusty arms
The rumble of gunmetal drums
Provides a rhythm for our steps
While titans grapple in heavy mail
And trample the dirt outside our gates.

How Green is the Grass?

Passing through this world on my thundercloud I look down at all the dwellers and their petty arguements. I am fascinated that Man cannot live without looking to another before thine own self.

I have ten friends.
You have twelve.

Why do you have two more than I? What's wrong with me that I have only 10 while you have 12??

It's so terribly fascinating.
