A Lizard Sonnet
If you travel to escape the small lizard on your back
You will eventually be outside your parents’ house
Only they have long since go
Someone else lives there; perhaps a child sleeps in your bed
Dreaming your dreams
You walk down a street where you used to play
But no one knows, and the sense of loss overwhelms you
Swallow hard not to cry because your memory is untrue.
You left to get a small-minded town, poverty, and screams
In the night, but it was worth going back to remember what
An awful place you left.

THE SYSTEM OF RACIAL CASTE: EXPLAINED
Racial caste systems are social structures in which individuals are classified and stratified based on their race or ethnicity, leading to unequal treatment, discrimination, and a lack of social mobility for certain racial or ethnic groups.
This system often entrenches social, economic, and political inequality by positioning one racial or ethnic group as superior and others as inferior. It relies on racial distinctions to justify the segregation, subjugation, and marginalization of specific groups.
In a racial caste system, people's lives, such as where they live, work,...

THE SYSTEM OF SOCIAL CASTE: EXPLAINED
Caste refers to a social stratification system in which people are divided into distinct, often hereditary groups based on factors such as occupation, social status, or birth. This classification typically dictates individuals' social roles, privileges, and relationships with others, and often determines aspects of their lives such as marriage, occupation, and interactions with different groups in society.
In caste systems, people are generally born into a specific caste, and social mobility (moving from one caste to another) is limited or restricted. Caste systems can be rigid,...

Are There Any Other Truth Methods
Are there any other methods in human understanding and development as an alternative for truth to arrive at conclusions that are solid in their findings?
Yes, there are alternative approaches in human understanding and development that can lead to solid conclusions without necessarily relying on a rigid or absolute concept of "truth." These approaches often embrace flexibility, interpretation, and practical outcomes, acknowledging that human knowledge and experience are dynamic and complex. Here are a few key alternatives:
1. Critical Thinking

WHY IS THAT THO!
I don't know why when I say I'm an atheist, Christians and religious Jews, Muslims and Black Hebrew Israelites expect me to have a complete understanding of cosmology and the other sciences. When all that is required of them is to have read the torah, bible and/or Quran.
As the late great Amy Winehouse would say "What Kind Of Fuckery Is This?" 🤭
Why is that THO!
I find this to be an interesting observation, and there are a few possible reasons why religious people might expect atheists to have a deep understanding of science, particularly...

IS TRUTH ATTAINABLE?
The question of whether truth is attainable has been a central philosophical debate for centuries. There are various perspectives on this depending on the philosophical school of thought.
1. Correspondence Theory of Truth: This suggests that truth is what corresponds to reality. According to this view, truth is objective and can be discovered by observing the world and gathering facts. In this sense, truth is attainable, as it can be known through evidence and reasoning.
2. Coherence Theory of Truth: This posits that truth is what coheres or fits into a system of...

WHAT IS GASLIGHTING?
Gaslighting is a form of psychological manipulation in which a person or group makes someone question their own reality, memory, or perceptions. It is often used to gain control over the victim, making them doubt their own judgment and depend on the manipulator for a sense of reality. Gaslighting can occur in relationships, workplaces, families, and even in societal or political contexts.
STRATEGIES USED IN GASLIGHTING
Gaslighters use various tactics to manipulate their victims, including:
1. Denial

Union
The sangam of Ganga and Yamuna
is a homosexual union
charming but sterile
my friend knows well
the road to heaven doesn't go
through snaky waters

The politics of reality
A leading Norwegian newspaper takes the view that it is the Alawites and the Christians who are the problem in Syria, which is blatantly untrue. The Brussels Mafia have decided that the former henchman is the right person, which suits Israel too for the time being
What is disturbing is that Europe’s leaders do not understand that globalism is over and that we will see new security zones that will leave Europe a quaint place for Russian or Chinese tourists. For a small country like Norway, the new system is a bonus as it no longer has to rely on the...

Getting Wet
am I anyone? am I you
just a different point-of-view?
are we all of us just the same?
all getting wet in the rain
all of us in a stream
flowing from what has been
expecting what is to come,
presently being one
consciousness which we share
with everyone everywhere
above and underground
in unheard living sound
of thought adrift in streams
mind afloat in dreams
wondering who we are
while we're moving very far
through interstellar space
Sun giving us a taste
of having points-of-view ...
