People take advantage of those they find to be bad. Because people find some individuals to be bad, they retaliate with badness towards the person they consider to be bad, using the justification that the person is bad. This is truly concerning.

*/ Imprisoned /*

Your toxic, creeping tendrils
Woven throughout my life
This insidious poison
Making false the freedom
I believed that I had already won

I am trapped, your ruination deep
Shame and your broken morality
Subverting what I could yet be
Your laughter, mocking, derisive
Knowing that my prison holds

But you, you rapist and liar
Deceiver, monster, and coward
Your miscalulation is immense
For I have told you, you thief of valor
I. Was. Never. Yours.

The prison you created cannot hold
With my every bloodied strike, it weakens
And when it finally crumbles
I an coming for you, deciever
And I am going to end your reign.

Shalini

Published in 2006 - Edited in 2026 “Come Mohandas, it is time for your interview with the doctor.” “Yes, coming.” Rishi, a young assistant, dressed in a freshly starched uniform walked ahead, as he led a tired old man, with balding head, thinly covered with greying hair, to the consulting rooms. At his soft knock, a deep voice from inside replied, “Come in.” “Sir, patient No. 33.” The square room was sparsely furnished. At the far end, there was a wooden table with two […]

Intriguing. "You and I both eat through the labor of people whose hands we might decline to shake if we just knew a little more about them. Their sentiments are not our own. Maybe they have bad politics. Or they’re kooky about health and wellness. Or they’re racists. In the vast, anonymous network that feeds us all, there are certainly quite a few people like that. If you asked them, they’d have a litany of bad things to say about us, too."

There ain't nothing to say but good. Our words have power. All the #AI #programming with voice nonsense should be a clue. I forget it all the time. #Speak your life into existence. That power does exist. It's not #morality, it's #science. Observation is science. I have observed the power of #mantra.
