The Last Class

Costa — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:11:50 +0000

Three years and more have come and gone, It’s been long and tough, but at some times fun. So now we’ve arrived upon this very day, To sit and listen at the end of our play. For Jacques once said ‘All the world’s a stage’, And we are its actors, its players, its knaves. But our time as caterpillars has come [...]

The City-State

Costa — Sat, 07 Nov 2009 15:47:15 +0000

Between two towers of ivory make, Sits a city, a village, an island state. The wizards of those towers, each other they hate, Throwing barbs, and knives with mischievous haste. This war has raged on, it is centuries late, And in the middle we lay, continuing to wait. But our patience wears thin, and our souls, they ache, It’s time to move on, and [...]

Lady Sin

Costa — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 03:50:57 +0000

Her virtues masked from within, Her vices apparent, they shout. She leans in and whispers close, She steps out, and alone we wait. When she’s away, we crave her, On her return, blind we become. But still we always seek her out, Knowing it all full well, we hope.

The Opera Tonight

Costa — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:20:20 +0000

Will we answer when she knocks? Will we rise up when she enters? Will we take her as if she was ours? She seldom asks twice, her voice sometimes filled with sin and vice. But the answer she seeks is but a whisper away, all we need do is give the OK. We believe we are in control, but the [...]

21st Century Knight

Costa — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:05:59 +0000

Into the fray we go. Full of books and writings and all that which is learnèd. Rulings and decisions, and battles of great might, those books and writings teach us to fight and fight. From the sweat of our brow and the hot blood in our veins, the ink of our pens will have the [...]

Blue Gold

Costa — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:04:47 +0000

Over the hills and across the way, we drove on through to celebrate the day. We arrived and saw that life was large, we all knew this day was ours. Not oft we’d been to towns so small, yet vibrant and alive, with fun for all. The day of our return came all too [...]

Finality

Costa — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 00:03:36 +0000

And so it is. And then it was. And back it came. And off again. But ere before the time had come, we walked on past, and all was done. And so we are at the start once more, we dove and swam to reach the shore. The line is cast. The bait is hooked. [...]

Engendering Change

Costa — Fri, 04 Sep 2009 16:43:45 +0000

Here’s the story. I am VERY curious to see how this turns out.

Dumb, Dumb, Dumb.

Here’s the link: Man in stable condition after being shot by Montreal police. Although, shouldn’t the headline read “Man lucky to be alive after charging cops with knife after dark” ? This short piece irks me. They refer to the wacko who charged the cops with a knife as a “victim.” Victims are those who have suffered an [...]

Billy Bob Thornton Blow Up on Q TV

Costa — Sat, 11 Apr 2009 01:45:22 +0000

YouTube - Billy Bob Thornton Blow Up on Q TV. This is just too weird. What’s too bad about it is that the rest of his band seemed like nice guys. Now they’ve pulled out of the tour in Canada. I understand BBT wanted to make sure the focus was on the band and the music - [...]
