Control is raising its paranoid head, yet again, around the globe 🕊️🙏🏻
All words and actions are interpreted in the paradigm of the observer. All are guilty of observer bias some more than others. A good write my friend that to me focuses on not only the interpretation but the attempted control through censure, banned speech, social and political correctness and criminalization. Nicely done Tristan.

Why, Popeye? Why what? WCAT!! lol.
Yep. 🤦♂️ I forgot the poem-specific first-comment set we literally just established: ❓🖤🧠🙏
For Orchi, I’d go with #4 corrected:
Orchi, I’m dying! 🤣 Popeye has been summoned, the microphones are hot, and absolutely nobody knows what the hell is happening. *static* You’re listening to WCAT, Orchiverse Radio…where we can’t answer that, and frankly, neither can Popeye. 📻🤣❓🖤🧠🙏
SHORT BUT TRUE
Wonderful poem
The lethal answer ...
