(Edgar Lee Masters, The Spoon River Anthology)
The press of the Spoon River Clarion was wrecked,
And I was tarred and feathered,
For publishing this on the day the
Anarchists were hanged in Chicago:
"l saw a beautiful woman with bandaged eyes
Standing on the steps of a marble temple.
Great multitudes passed in front of her,
Lifting their faces to her imploringly.
In her left hand she held a sword.
She was brandishing the sword,
Sometimes striking a child, again a laborer,
Again a slinking woman, again a lunatic.
In her right hand she held a scale;
Into the scale pieces of gold were tossed
By those who dodged the strokes of the sword.
A man in a black gown read from a manuscript:
"She is no respecter of persons."
Then a youth wearing a red cap
Leaped to her side and snatched away the bandage.
And lo, the lashes had been eaten away
From the oozy eye-lids;
The eye-balls were seared with a milky mucus;
The madness of a dying soul
Was written on her face--
But the multitude saw why she wore the bandage."

Naked Girl: In wild photoshoot, showing all of her body, ass and tits in a hotel room. She likes it, loves being taken photos of. Beautiful girl, confident with her own body.
Our country is in a sad, sad state. Other countries are upset with Trump and while fucking him they are going to fuck us. The dollar will probably have to be rearranged the way the value of Mexican Peso has been. All the minorities that voted for Trump cursed themselves and everyone else.
The price of gold has gone up because the Chinese are already starting to fuck us.
