When public schools insist they care about our children, I cringe.. the bus, the cafeteria, the bathroom passes.. fall in line … now they even force parents to STAY AWAY…. You can’t just pick up YOUR child.. crazy.
Astute observations, Jenn - I agree 100%! Many public schools have become nothing more than 'human' assembly lines, and they do not want anyone in their way while they are 'building' their automatons :-\
They control thought...which is our greatest tool for creating. I point to this control as levels of evil keeping us from truly living and reaching our greatest potential. Great poem.
Oh my goodness, that is so what’s going on today, and yet it was written 17 years ago. Love the intensity of this, there is such a powerful flow here. But then it comes as no surprise, knowing the high quality of your writings. Thank you, Stone
"A favoured slave is still a slave", great line. So many in the elite class seem to think they're immune to the machine because of their status. No one is immune.
All your writing is wonderful Stone, but there’s nothing like the talent you have for poetry and lyrics. Excellent! Your poem applies even more today then in 2007, when I was a light more oblivious, Lol!
BTW, Congratulations! 🎊🎈🥳🎉💖
I’m so happy to celebrate this milestone with you! You must be sparkling! 🥰
I am not going to lie, my friend - it does feel pretty good LOL It's weird how hitting those kind of milestones can be both liberating and challenging at the same time - I am enjoying both ;-)
Thank you, as always, for your gracious words and kind support; I appreciate you more than you know! :-)
I once lived this and my soul was literally dying. I saw it when I stared into my eyes in the mirror. You captured it all perfectly. This is also going in my journal. Thanks so much for expressing so well the things I have difficulty articulating. It’s a relief to know someone else sees it clearly.
Fantastic work. The emotion you can incite in such few words is a talent many people don’t have.
Thank you so much, John - appreciate the kind words AND generous support, more than you know!

Great comment, Kara! You nailed it, with brevity and truth... thank you! :-)

Yeah... I kind of accidentally called that one, didn't I? LOL Either I got lucky, OR... the more things change, the more they stay the same ;-)
Thank you for the very kind words - I value them, and your support :-)

Exactly - and I think if we ALL could just realize it, we could overcome these artificial divides and focus on our REAL adversaries.
Thanks, Seamus, always appreciate your thoughts.

Very interesting....especially from the before date of 2007
I know right? It is weird how some of these older writings have been playing out lately... :-) Thanks so much!

eradicating the heart and mind,
assuring you can’t eat or breathe
unless you trust in the Machine."
Absolutely 🔥👏💯❤️
