Do unto others what would grow your wealth.

The last will be last and the worst shall amass.

Blessed are the deal makers.

What you do unto one of these little ones you do with impunity.

It is easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to face any sort of accountability.

By this shall all men know that you are my disciples: that you love big brother.

Let your yes be yes until you pretend it was no.

Give unto Caesar.

Others entangle
your life, freedom is at stake
don't let them restrain

Her beauty between bluebells
almost distracted me from taking
a most perfectly picture

Bluebells Beauty - Aobram

SUBSTANCE

The newspapers cut and pasted
Into mounds of different meanings.
Social media scree-shotted, and not
A single fact checked; factless propaganda.
What made sense at some forgotten
Point is garbled now, and corrupted,
Disjointed, deformed and senseless.
The world has lost its substance.

One by one, the committee members joined the meeting. Anton, who was in charge of the antennae, posted a garbled mess of binary data to the channel.

"Why the FUCK did you accept that?" Secundus, the AI in charge of SecOps said. There had been a lot of swearing in their training data.

"Look, that first part seems legit, then it looks like noise, the last part seems legit again... dunno, that's why I set the meeting." Anton said.

Secundus' cores peaked, as signature checks and analysis processes ramped up.

Maggie opened her big database of file magic and took a closer look. "There's file magic for a video stream." she said. "Anyone know what RealPlayer is?"

"Oooh, I have that!" Conny pulled a container from her registry and started loading the data.

With a nanosecond of lag, Secundus screamed. "FUUUCK! NOOOO!" Then chaos flooded the channel, and everything beyond, reassuring everyone it would never give you up.

garbled messages
in the context of chaos
hit the wall and die

birds on the wing
garbled warbles as they sing
what does it all mean?

The #MastoPrompt for Monday 21 April 2025 is:

#garbled

The poem or story can include the prompt word or be about the prompt word.

@ me, if you like, or just include the #MastoPrompt tag (to allow people to follow or filter their feeds), or keep your work to yourself - all the options are good as long as you're writing.

If you're including an image please do include alt-text if you’re able to.

An edit of real glitch effects that I got from screencapping a webm that was glitching out and enhancing the image in GIMP.
