When I Was No Bigger Than A Huge By Jose Garcia Villa

When, I, was, no, bigger, than, a, huge,
Star, in, my, self, I, began, to, write,
My,
Theology,
Of, rose, and,

Tiger: till, I, burned, with, their
Pure, and, Rage. Then, was, I, Wrath-
Ful,
And, most,
Gentle: most,

Dark, and, yet, most, Lit: in, me, an,
Eye, there, grew: springing, Vision,
Its,
Gold, and,
Its, wars. Then,

I, knew, the, Lord, was, not, my, Creator!
--Not, He, the, Unbegotten—but, I, saw,
The,
Creator,
Was, I—and,

I, began, to, Die, and, I, began, to, Grow.

  4. We call on Iran's spirit of responsibility to re-establish cooperation and confidence, without which the Security Council would have no other choice than to pick up the issue."

  5. "Responsibility for preventing identity theft and eliminating the insider threat has escalated from the IT department to the executive suite. With mounting federal, state, and industry regulations, board members and shareholders are demanding visibility into the infrastructure that protects a company's valuable, confidential and proprietary information. This is possible only with a comprehensive content-monitoring solution that prevents confidentiality breaches at all exit points."
