a criminality...?



How often does one hear ...'humans are born innately good'... really?
Then why the constant struggle to be good?
The constant struggle to stay on the right side of 'right'....or...is it just a few bad apples that keep the masses on the right track...proof of what may be if the wrong choices are made.
Should one not ask...what is right and what is wrong?...does it apply universally ...or... could it be this beautiful earth was populated with all sorts, as an experiment, to see, what would happen if freedom of thought and choice and the like existed..
An inkling suspicion does nibble at the corners of my mind ...the preference is for the 'bad'...even in small doses...what have u done today that ain't good in another persons eyes....?



My poem inspired by the struggle between good and bad and what reigns globally ... a terrifying reality.



what is it that makes me comply,
aspire...
those with negative action and thought defy.

what is it that knows to light,
ignite...
criminality, deceit vehemently ...fight!

why does my heart know to beat so strong,
belong...
bask in the glory of goodness, its rewards prolong.
is it fear,
that makes me adhere...
of questionable situations stay clear.......

oh!... let me drop this cloak of prissy hypocrisy!
for the reign of democracy
be a true pornocracy!
prostituted be each thought
by the best bidder caught...
no longer the dire repercussions fought
for the ego recognition has sort
and thus, no matter good or bad, the mind be taught
to choose selfishly...with guilt... each action fraught.

No!
how tiresome this struggle in my veins does flow
no care to be bogged with what society does show
for fucked up and excused be every indiscretion
bullied and confused humanity in... suspension....

me.

i choose to be.

free....surrendered...to universal balance.

Listening to the news and feeling beyond sad.

Unimaginable.

What is it that holds a mind so young in deep blackness
That gnaws and rages beyond any reason, a festering madness
How does it work to target the most innocent and unsuspecting
Tragedy too small a word , an unimagined loss disseminating

Oh! how a mothers soul must be shattered
Oh! how a mothers heart must be beyond weeping
How does she stand and not fall to her knees???
How does she not scream her child's name and to heaven beg,"Give me my child back...Dear Lord God PLEASE!"

What be the use, we hang our heads and close our eyes and... weep.
What be the use,they be gone and we read about it, another shooting a community blasts... deep.
What be the use we profess to care yet, tomorrow it becomes nothing more than old news
And, we continue plodding ..believing everything and anything those fuckers tell us, draining us of humanities juice.

The stench, the vileness, the lies the deceit of those in power hatred does reap,
Segregated and at each others throats, citizens does keep.
When will we learn how easily we are swayed and kept in check
When will we realise we have been dealt the worst hand in the deck?
They profess there is a democracy and they care to make all equal in standing
yet, every action taken , every war stoked, arms deals the economy branding.
Keep Africa poor, rape it of its richness and line the pockets of the traitors professing equality be its drive
while on corruption, the sell-outs of the fight to freedom their families and children thrive.

How i abhor the hypocrisy of the so-called Policemen of the World,
The West and its festering gnarled grip of all that may be a threat to them, becoming unfurled
for, when the boundaries be pushed a little too far and the price paid becomes too dear
WWIII...the citizens of the world ...will most definitely have to fear.

The cowardice of a faceless bully.

It is the most vilest and most cowardly form of bullying.
It is painful, and with no closure reached and the ripple effects it leaves on the victim can be devastating beyond repair...UNLESS the faceless bully is found and held accountable .

Even then, the damage done to the victim's reputation and credibility may remain questionable and tarnished no matter the space or place they occupy and the answers found.
As to the psychological well-being of the victim, that is an even greater longterm battle.

How does one beat this sort of coward at their own game.
Yes.
Game, for it ain't nothing more than a sick personal game played to instil uncertainty and fear even if there may be no truth to whatever they may claim.

This sort of victimization aims at bullying readers and supporters too.

It aims at alienating the victim and creating a divide .

This sort of bully knows sweeping common known facts about the victim gathered thru reading, personal information shared by the victim or told by 3rd parties or the common space occupied by bully and victim.

What triggers such an attack?

If the bully feels played or their ego bruised they begin to plot.
If the bully feels jealous or envious of another's success and achievements they begin to plot.

A faceless bully NEVER makes painful and devastating accusations with the intent of setting a record straight or bringing to the fore an injustice.
A faceless bully is a coward and their intent is to destroy no matter what.

When one understands the modus operandi of such a coward then the focus shifts to understanding the space and character of the bully .
This person is egoistic yet, suffers from low self esteem.A social misfit and most probably a non achiever, mediocre in all they do. They fly low under the radar and are prone to fits of anger, jealousy and envy toward anybody successful or confidently vocal.
The bully has a warped sense of justice and morals and believes they are beyond reproach .
They always point outward at others and for them to apologize or admit to fault means they lose their stronghold on the power which they have gained thru anonymity. To apologize is seen as defeat and a weakness.
A faceless bully may even show psychopathic traits in their life.


Once one understands the character of such a cowardly bully then the criminality of their action is potentially easier to handle and the stronghold they have due to their anonymity shaken.

This past week has seen devastating accusations made. Victimization jaw dropping.

Is it ours to engage the bully in dialogue or is it ours to hold "them" accountable and anybody associated with "them" for the criminality of their actions?

Bullies have no place in a society that face adversity and challenges everyday and the brave slog it out in their way.
Bullies are a bane of a lawful hardworking society no matter the job occupied and must be weeded out the minute they surface.
They are the odd one out .

To be courageous and brave in the face of a bully is not easy but, they too have their weakness and it never goes unnoticed...they are human after all.

May society stand steadfast in their decency, valliant snd courageous in their kindness, support, empathy and sympathy.

May this fine day be blessedly most glorious.

Good morning Fine Citizens of this Earth.

CREDIBILITY...

How often do we understand the importance of striving for credibility.

But,what may credibility be?

It be the banking factor on a person or product or service. Credibility be the CV stating the quality expected. It be a characteristic not created or gained overnight.

Credibility comes with integrity.

It speaks of trustworthiness and honesty.
Its existence is based on high values, standards and principles, a consistency in presentation and delivery.

It speaks of knowledge and understanding.

But, it also speaks of the ability to hear and learn, adapt and change as required, for nothing good is dormant...it takes into consideration the space it occupies, the people it reaches out to as well as its competitors.

Credibility has respect for the known and the unknown and doesn't dabble in derogatory treatment of others.
It promotes decency and growth in all spheres .

Yet.

Lately credibility is being bestowed on much not worthy of consideration.
No hard work or consistency required.
Could it be that humans have lowered their standards to such a degree that any idiot or service or product is good enough as long as it meets SOME of the criteria needed to make it acceptable...setting a bad example for the youth of today, for soon they will not know that consistency and hard work is required to become a person of character and stature...a person credible.

"...I know what I bring to the table
....so trust me when I say I am not afraid to eat alone" - Kevin Hart.

To know oneself in defiance of what others may think one may not be, is the first step to self realization .

The resilience to succeed, the strength to stand steadfast in the face of adversity.



Perfection belongs to nobody and the strife to reach a better space in time is an ever changing and ever evolving of self worth and growth.

Confidence is not marred by ego.

Humility and humbleness are strong undertones of confident longterm success.

...and thus to not confuse confidence with arrogance, the baby of an over inflated ego.

What would mainstream media be without a shitload of propaganda, playing to the hand of the impressionable, sensation seekers and of course....the bullies.

How foolish one would be to imagine good news sells media content. It is the shady, a touch of taboo, the war mongering the corruption and another's downfall and tragedy that sells....and a pock or two of goodness.

Mankind professes to be innately good. What utter rubbish.

And the belief that good conquers bad, only the romantic still live in that euphoric fantasy ?

To sneer in on the supposed " care-keepers" of society as a whole, or in specialized spaces, the audacity to call out indiscretions painting a picture biased, tarnished with pull toward doubt and non belief that "truth" may have a narrative of another hue.

Critical thinkers are labeled pariahs and the bane of a sheeplike society baaaaing to those applying the psychological "needs and desires" pyramid of which one of the highest would be to BELONG and be popular and liked at any cost....even at the cost of ones character and name.

Truth...does truth matter?

Or

....Is there such a thing as truth?

There is.

I wonder how many dare to bank on truth without playing to political correctness or to the masses?
