Earth to Wade Watts, calling Wade Watts!

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

What is the self
L. B. Mek said:
indeed
first, we must find
\'ourselves\'
to excavate
from within: the meaning
of self..
(in my humble opinion)

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.

this had me laugh out loud
cos of just how much fervent vehemence you imbued in your wording
while, being self aware - enough
to make fun of your fury..
(see, brother
some of my best friends
have been a different colour to my
skin
but our heart\'s have been the same
tint
of crimson bruised and heartache
stained
pulsing, to that same stuttering beat..
see \'Those\' spewing, divisive
bul sht
want us, to think we\'re different
from each other
try to, break black america apart
from America
so minority\'s vote blue, without first asking
if blue
is a good fit..
make a day in june, some
\'slavery\' independence/emancipation day
because
\'some \'folks\' in the south, heard
they were free, later than most\'
when it took another year or more for the Native Americans
to free, their black slaves...
yeah, how about that for fckry
of distorted history, they ever mention that in books?
but wait, why glorify juneteenth
then
cos they try to make people believe
July 4th ain\'t for them...?
so they get the minority vote
put an impotent president in office
just so they can claim
they had the first black, one
next election
they went for the first woman, in charge
coincidence?
nah
so are the reds, the answer
cos they ended slavery
centuries ago
hell no!
the same president
that signed the freedom of black slaves
signed
the go-ahead to hand 38 Native american Sioux\'s
to make a statement
on Dec 26th
yeah, one day at church
cutting turkeys and saying grace
next day
ordering mass murder
as a statement..)
so what am i saying
which side am i choosing
what my point?
\'Think, think
and quest for truth\'
don\'t take the quick read
bullet point versions
they selling for cheap
only then
can you Vote! knwing
what the game is
make your Chess moves
in life
knowing
what the rules are...
till then
you, we
are just domino pieces
being pushed around..
\'don\'t allow, their Hate
to fuel you with, Hate..\'
free yourself
to Think, knowledgably
for yourself
then pass the Torch, keep
the fight alive
and Hopefully, we can end
the cyclical Fckry of society
someday
before the world, freezes over...

\'They was scholars for dollars, with a crack of a whip, made any man holla, those saints was liars,\'
and still they do it, Fckrs
that so-called enlightened, warped
mouth piece Thomas Sowell
talks of black\'s owning, slave farms
as some distortion
of depthless misery in our collective
black history
fcker! pointing out exactly how much
they enslaved our mind\'s
as well as broke our backs and hopes..
(you know how many billions
have watched Forrest Gump
not knowing
who the fck Nathan Bedford Forrest
was...???
such Fckry, right there
and they argue racism isn\'t built-in, systemic)
and Yet, we who know
are left to despise
all those wannabe
victimhood, ambulance chasers
hands-out for the sacrifices their
hereditary suffered, to gift them
a future, yet
generation after, Fck\'d generation
wasting schooling opportunities
and paths to a better life
so, twisted fools like Sowell
can sit there all righteous
pointing fingers on their YouTube thrones
cos they were blessed with a little
intellect
or Denzel, good looks
betraying themselves and pretending their skin
is a different shade of black
for a little more coin
sighting their success, like
one out of a million is a ratio
to bank our hopes on, F\'ckrs
I wish
James Baldwin was still around
to smash, reality back into their self-serving, conceited mindsets..

Selfish Love

\'it’s these
knight in shining armor
looking for love, suckers
causing the traffic

Amen!!!
(yup, endless generations
brainwashed
by fairy-Tall-tales
of damsels in distress
and entitled, heroes
in supposedly
dignified, murderous plots..
all in the name of some, warped love
where two people
become devoted to each other
before
they even know each other\'s
names...
while in reality, decades
of marriage - later
a single misunderstanding, can bring it all down
crumbling, like
those empires
who thought, their victories
yesterday
entitled them to dream of power
everlasting and righteous
because fate granted them a little
refrain
from life\'s, endless struggles and strife..)
so much Bull sht
only, when
we realise, how lucky we are
\'for every kind smile
sweet words
and warm touches\'
we\'re afforded in life, will we Truly understand
what love\'s True worth, is
till then

desperate to simply, belong\'..

forgive me, but
\'in my humble opinion\', I lack
the intellect or eloquence
to do justice, to your profound words
so, I\'ll lean on Spinoza\'s visionary
words, to attempt
a poetic response to your poetry
thanks for sharing:
“Those who wish to seek out the cause of miracles and to understand the things of nature as philosophers, and not to stare at them in astonishment like fools, are soon considered heretical and impious, and proclaimed as such by those whom the mob adores as the interpreters of nature and the gods. For these men know that, once ignorance is put aside, that wonderment would be taken away, which is the only means by which their authority is preserved.”
― Baruch De Spinoza, Ethics
“I would warn you that I do not attribute to nature either beauty or deformity, order or confusion. Only in relation to our imagination can things be called beautiful or ugly, well-ordered or confused.”
― Baruch Spinoza
“The more you struggle to live, the less you live. Give up the notion that you must be sure of what you are doing. Instead, surrender to what is real within you, for that alone is sure....you are above everything distressing.”
― Spinoza
“The more clearly you understand yourself and your emotions, the more you become a lover of what is.”
