“Unholy by Stewart Stafford
Horrors walk from out a dream,
Apparitions dare reality’s seam,
Gnarly fingers excavate blame,
Sanity stolen in a hellish flame.
No way to think or even breathe,
Or kind worldly goods bequeath,
For Time’s skeletal fingers snap,
Catching souls in a fiendish trap.
Visions boxed, then assail again,
A phantom grin is no one’s friend,
Gasp out awakening perspiration,
Sun falls in creeping desperation.

“Uni tuli viereeni seisomaan ja tarttui kylmään käteeni.
Ja uni vei minut vuoteelle istumaan ja käski minun
hyväillä itseään ja minä hyväilin. Ja uni riisui minulta
vaatteet ja sitten itsensä ja meni peiton alle.
Ja uni kohotti hymyillen täkinkulmaa ja pyysi minua
tulemaan viereensä lämpimään ja lämmittämään itseään
ja minä menin. Ja uni suuteli minua ja piti raskasta
päätäni kaksin käsin ja vannoi minulle rakkautta.
Ja uni painautui minua vasten ja minä hyväilin unen
painavaa lämmintä vartaloa ja uni hyväili minun kylmää
ruumistani ja minä vapisin. Ja uni tarttui minun
sykkivään jäykkyyteeni ja avasi minulle suuren syvän
sylinsä ja kuiskasi minua tulemaan. Ja uni opasti minut
sisäänsä ja minä menin.”

“UNICEF has made the most rewarding thing that I have ever done in my life.”
“UNICEF has repeatedly called on governments to ensure basic services for children and this includes providing food where the need exists.”
“UNICEF is doing amazing things here. They're helping these groups of kids to be mine aware, and using drama and workshops to teach children in all of the schools in the area to be aware of mines and what to do if they find one, and if somebody's hurt, not to rush in - all of the essential things that kids need to know.”
“UNICEF is helping mothers realize their dreams for the future - a future in which the basic needs for a child's survival: food, clean water and simple health care - are guaranteed.”

“Unicorn. Old French, unicorne. Latin, unicornis. Literally, one-horned: unus, one and cornu,a horn. A fabulous animal resembling a horse with one horn.”

“Unicorns are immortal. It is their nature to live alone in one place: usually a forest where there is a pool clear enough for them to see themselves-for they are a little vain, knowing themselves to be the most beautiful creatures in all the world, and magic besides. They mate very rarely, and no place is more enchanted than one where a unicorn has been born. The last time she had seen another unicorn the young virgins who still came seeking her now and then had called to her in a different tongue; but then, she had no idea of months and years and centuries, or even of seasons. It was always spring in her forest, because she lived there, and she wandered all day among the great beech trees, keeping watch over the animals that lived in the ground and under bushes, in nests and caves, earths and treetops. Generation after generation, wolves and rabbits alike, they hunted and loved and had children and died, and as the unicorn did none of these things, she never grew tired of watching them.”

“Unicorns are not to be forgiven." The magician felt himself growing giddy with jealousy, not only of the touch but of something like a secret that was moving between Molly and the unicorn. "Unicorns are for beginnings," he said, "for innocence and purity, for newness. Unicorns are for young girls." Molly was stroking the unicorn's throat as timidly as though she were blind. She dried her grimy tears on the white mane. "You don't know much about unicorns," she said.”

“Unicorns practically breathed magic. He was to a horse what a horse was to a pig. Four tiny cloven hooves shone like burnished silver, slender legs as graceful as an antelope's led to a slender body, a delicate neck with an arch like the stem of a lily-blossom and a head like the blossom itself, crowned with that glorious pearly horn. And the eyes- big golden-brown eyes you could fall into and never come out of-

“Unified Global South (Sonnet 2687-2688)
White bias doesn't affect only white people,
it affects colored people as well.
For example, US citizens can practically
travel to the entire world without visa,
despite being the most undeserving,
while rightful Africans cannot travel
even within the continent without visa.
This is why I say, white is not a color,
white is a mindset of exploitation.
If you want to rescue your plundered dignity,
first you gotta decolonize your own mindset.
Philosophy alone doesn't advance a society,
you gotta build the infrastructure for it.
For example, make the entire Global South
Visa Free for all its citizens, and I guarantee,
within a hundred years the Global South
will be the Powergrid of the Human Race,
like it once was, until the predators of Europe
contaminated the world with their unwelcome touch.
Foster the psychology, policy will follow.
Foster the intent, intelligence will follow.
The ultimate mission is a unified humanity,
but practical integration of the human race
beyond color and culture is not possible
until we decontaminate the planet of every last
trace of colonial vice legislated as virtue.”

“Uniformity is not nature's way; diversity is nature's way.”

“Unii cred că e OK să nu îți anunți intențiile după o întâlnire, alții consideră că poți să nu îți anunți intențiile în primele luni. Chipurile, o femeie serioasă poate aștepta câteva luni să vadă dacă e ceva serios. Alții, mai de modă veche, dacă nu ești virgină până la căsătorie se simt îndreptățiți să te pună în fun box. Cumva, tot femeia greșește aici, că ea trebuie să ghicească cât ar trebui să-și reprime emoțiile, sentimentele și reacțiile firești pentru a nu fi folosită doar pentru sex.

“Unii dintre noi, totuşi, se încăpăţânau să scrie, şi inventau fără întrerupere, pentru a comunica cu cei din afară, combinaţii care sfârşeau totdeauna prin a se dovedi iluzorii. Şi chiar dacă unele din mijloacele pe care le inventam reuşeau, nu ştiam nimic de ele, neprimind răspuns. Săptămâni întregi n-am putut face altceva decât să reîncepem mereu şi mereu aceeaşi scrisoare, să recopiem aceleaşi ştiri şi aceleaşi chemări, în aşa fel încât, după un oarecare
timp, cuvintele care la început ieşiseră sângerând din inima noastră, se goleau apoi de sensul lor. Le recopiam atunci mecanic, încercând să dăm, cu ajutorul acestor fraze moarte, semne despre viaţa noastră grea. Şi, până la urmă, faţă de acest monolog steril şi încăpăţînat, aceste conversaţii aride cu un perete, chemarea convenţională a telegramei ni se părea de preferat.
Totuşi, şi acesta este lucrul cel mai important, oricât de dureroase ar fi fost aceste nelinişti, oricât de greu de dus ar fi fost această inimă totuşi goală, se poate prea bine spune că aceşti exilaţi, în prima perioadă a ciumei, au fost nişte privilegiaţi. Într-adevăr, chiar în momentul în care populaţia începea să-şi piardă capul, gândul lor era întors cu totul spre fiinţa pe care o aşteptau. În deznădejdea generală, egoismul dragostei îi apăra si, dacă se gândeau la ciumă, n-o făceau niciodată decât în măsura în care ea oferea despărţirii lor riscul de a fi veşnică. Ei aduceau astfel, chiar în sânul epidemiei, o abatere salvatoare a atenţiei, pe care erai tentat s-o iei drept sânge rece. Deznădejdea îi salva de panică, nefericirea lor avea în ea ceva bun. De pildă, dacă se întâmpla ca unul dintre ei să fie doborât de boală, asta se petrecea aproape totdeauna fără ca el să-şi fi putut da seama ce i se întâmplă. Smuls din această lungă conversaţie interioară pe care o susţinea cu o umbră, el era atunci aruncat fără tranziţie în tăcerea cea mai adâncă a pământului. Nu avusese timp pentru nimic.”
