guess not.
the only word that matters is
profit,
but then what does it profit a man ..

Too many slaves to the golden calf.

It’s only gonna get worse. Wonderful expression you have here. I enjoyed this read. Thank you for sharing MS  
love Jackie ❤️

I'm pretty pessimistic too, but maybe folks will wise up.  

Keep your fingers crossed 🤞

I've said all I have to say on the subject, but the poem is excellent.

Yeah, I'm finally getting to a more stoic head space about it all.

We might just have to watch Rome burn for a while before folks learn to co-operate.

About forty something percent of the country cares. Color: blue. But we are in a bullying culture for sure. It's sickening.

It is sickening, for sure, and I don't see any cultural influences taking us in a better direction, except for Taylor Swift, but I fear even she will not be enough.

It sure isn't going to be Ted Nugent. I feel guilty for still liking Stranglehold and Free for All.

LOL,

yeah, he's pretty bad, but I will never abandon my faith in you. 💚

Brilliantly penned, MS. Into the list it belongs. I try to be positive about things, but I'm a skeptical pessimist at my core. Then everyday we're flooded with a barrage of bullshit, and well I know, you know. Great write, my friend. Appreciate you.

Yes indeed, it's a crazy thing to try and keep up with, and well I know you know just as well as I know...LOL.

But I love that you are so able to navigate the bullshit barrage, perhaps better than anyone else here at DUP.

Keep up the good work, and, power to the people!

Hell yeah. Art is a form of protest. It is our job to scrutinize those in power. All power belongs to the people.

Yes!

And the history books agree with you!

So many revolutions were done by and for the people, with the American, French, Russian, and many others well worth studying to see where, when, and how, the aristocrats were out of touch with the citizens.

It's a world where facts don't matter, they scream "fuck your feelings" but get butthurt and easily triggered when they get theirs hurt. Go figure.

Somebody regularly parks a Jeep at my neighbor's house with a sticker on the back window that says..."no one cares about your feelings"...and never have I wanted to use my slingshot on a window so much before, because yeah, if I did that then for sure the Jeep owner would get pissed off. The dude who put that sticker there really didn't think his tough guy comment through very well, since when he makes it clear that he doesn't care, then that invites everyone else to not give a shit about him.  Smh.

Karma isn't an efficient form of justice, but there is something to it.
