I live in one of the most wonderful neighbourhoods in the world. We abound with nature, diversity, and creativity. LOVE. The last couple years though have been a little different because many of our normally brave, inclusive, and fabulous residents have also become fearful and quick to judge anyone who ... ironically ... questions the advice and mandates of the establishment.
Why? Because with the help of a duplicitous corporate media and online trolls and shills, a cognitive shortcut has been created in the minds of many. So much so that standing in defence of human rights, constitutions, and charters ... a more nuanced study of science ... has become synonymous with being racists, misogynist and anti-science. Call it the dark-transformational power of fear and tribalism.
The Troll's Eye
the Troll's eye
spiked and googled
lays a'plop, on top
the poet's desk
Confession ... not a desk
poets cannot afford desks
that is the realm of the highly-paid
Amazon fiction writer
let me let out ... a warrior cry
squawk, trill, trill, and squawk
I'll cough and begin again
the Troll's eye
googled and spiked
lays upon a vainly sanitized
Starbuck's countertop
just like that ... it's infected again
or is alive ... a better descriptor
seems biodiversity only matters
when its trees, bark, and fur we tally
there is no counting high enough
for the micro-biome
and squiggly things, so why bother
we weren't using them anyways
so clear cut and wipe out
on the minute, all you want
just swipe and hold your breath
nature can't have her revenge
if you're wearing a mask ...
now back to our Troll
and peacock-feathered armed
poet ….tess
T'is obvious to see
to ponder, and conclude
the Troll was terrified of the iridescent
far-reaching, fanning swing
of the poet's feathered quill
The EYE sees everything
you know, or maybe you don't
keep typing and online proxy making
dodge and distract
it is the only strategy
to remain undetected
dress in your borrowed, avatar rags
color them pea green, the only shade
that ever looks good on you
offer up unwarranted
unchastened, and cracked
mal-mots and diminishing critique
slowly become a vanishing man
just remember
one end of the poet's quill
sees into your abyss
the other end
will shut out your eye
free it from its uneven hinges
No, the poet is not cuckoo
but her ancestors were
so she is well-practiced
in lunacy and lie detecting

Twitter folks are shocked to find out that I am a social democrat and yet also part of the unacceptable fringe. Globalists lost me when they violated bodily sovereignty and democracy with propaganda and censorship. When you have a good product, you don't have to lie and cheat, blackmail or insist, to get people to consume it; this is true of a physical product or an idea.
You can be sure if you have violated truth to see your ends, then your ends will never be what you think they will be, but a corrupted catastrophe.
Human rights and democracy aren't just pretty ideas; they work to minimize the excesses that develop in an unbalanced system; excesses generally practiced by so-called elites. Go through history and see how each and every empire collapsed. It wasn't the average citizen that caused it; it was the hoarders and over-consumers; including those that over-consumed power. System collapse becomes a huge problem when you have but one GLOBAL system.
We need empowered individuals to balance our system, provide ingenuity and also resistance to bad ideas, and maybe coercing the injection of a cytotoxin that crosses the blood-brain barrier (among college students and the young) should be stopped ... like now.
Empower the people with personal freedoms and easy access to knowledge and let them be. The wonders and solutions they will discover!!! Look at Elon Musk and look how he empowers those he leads. On a side note, what I love about the play between Musk and Twitter is that it is revealing that although Musk is a billionaire; there is a greater gap between Musk and these MEGA corporations than there is between Musk and poorest person on Earth. Yet, the media has managed to portray him as the Machiavellian villain.
It is time to wake-up, my darling lefties, and stop attacking your allies, as imperfect as they might be; at least they don't want to consume you.

When the Tao is not heard
Virtue is revered
When virtue is lost
Intelligence governs
When ignorance shoves out intelligence
Authority reigns
When authority is inevitably thrown-off
Violence is king
