As always I’m glad you enjoyed the poem, and yes I had to put a light on the dubious believers Bible touting frauds.

(theology, would be much more
palatable
if those \'devoted\' believer\'s
could find enough, belief
to keep it all to, themselves
and let
the rest of us, simply - be)
I don\'t really get \'saving lives\'
to gain your way into a heaven
with such a high, entry price
surely, the guards at the door
will see through, all that
duplicitous, self-serving heroics
surely...
(thanks for sharing, dear poet)

large mirror on my wall
L. B. Mek said:
we have rivers before mirrors
and Narcissus\'s myth
before, selfies..
we, think
our generation\'s, aspirations
are unique
but that feeling of removed - connections
with that sense of self, is a theme
that\'s been prevalent
since the beginning of time..
so i think
it\'s ok, if sometimes
we look for more
and hope, for something magical
to grace our lives..
(sorry for waffling on
but I connected with your words
and couldn\'t help myself)

I will always remember growing up in philly as a child, racing popsicle sticks down the street by the curb in the fire hydrant water, my grandmother magically making my pro kid sneakers look brand new with white shoe polish when I only thought it came in black or brown. Slap boxing, racing up and down the street, playing with our matchbox cars, reading the latest comic books, etc., if I could do it all again I would a thousand times. I hope it’s a reality that awaits me after I die, it is surely my heaven every time I close my eyes and meditate on it.

As the policeman said to me. You only have yourself to blame, and that\'s why you\'re attending this self-awareness class today.

Earth to Wade Watts, calling Wade Watts!
L. B. Mek said:
are these ready player one, references?
forgive me, i don\'t know that story/character..
but still:
\'…..Way in the meta-verse\'
\'way more beautiful
then raw reality, is it not; or is
this just a technicality
of our inner realities, or
are we too blind to see our inabilities
to accept that fate we wish to escape. Deep
down we hate being mere
mortals, which
is just another portal
to wishing we were immortal, is
this immoral..\'
is easily one of the most profound stanza\'s
I have read this year!
thank you, dear Poet

indeed
first, we must find
\'ourselves\'

of self..

Addiction
Doggerel Dave said:
Please don\'t even try - you would be on a hiding to nothing.
The will to change has to come from him and him alone.
If subsequently he makes that decision then good - but the help should be professional as you cannot live your life and take on such a burden.

I know I came off like the hate is there, but the hate has been expired, I have white, Asian and Hispanic friends who come to my cookouts and we listen to one another, they help me to properly direct my words so I can put them right in the living room of my intended targets.. I know natives owned slaves, I also know Africans owned black slaves as well.. but at the moment it’s our one time slave holders of the European type that’s causing modern day issues for us. I often ask myself, what’s the natural process of a people, becoming another people? Leaving one’s homeland and the culture, their belief in a particular god may change overtime, language may change even etc; overtime…. But being conquered by another, enslavement has to be a possible source of being changed from what your forefathers were as well. I’ve come to accept this as fact with no hate… it’s more of the constant crap we get from these people in modern times that’s nerve racking. Mankind’s overall treatment of one another is senseless.. but in the past what’s happened to Africans, native Americans, India, Hawaii, China, all have one conqueror in common. The conqueror’s children are trying to change the narrative their forefathers left them.. they don’t get to do that, because it’s at our expense. History is the only thing that can explain our present state. Otherwise the worldwide conditions of people of color would be explained away as us simply being inferior small brain two steps up from monkeys. That’s why they continue to say Africans didn’t build the pyramids, they only admit mankind walking out of Africa if they can control the narrative, that narrative being we are evolutionarily beneath them and a much early stage in their development… which makes us appear to be lower in the evolutionary ladder then themselves.. it’s a slight of the hand scientific racism, like the insulting idea of it must have been aliens who built the pyramids if it wasn’t them.
