The darker irony: the helpers of tyranny think the wolf will bare its teeth for them - and stop just short of their own throats.

Something you can own, freeze, defend. But culture is motion.
It changes because people do. And for some, admitting culture moved forward would mean admitting they didn’t.

Real reporting sits in a cell -
ankle chained, staring out the window -
while noise screams for attention.
Distraction is the point. We have to look past it.

You stay calm.
You don’t need applause from every room.
I see what they clap for.
Their boos don’t count if that’s all they have.
Still, I wonder:
where do you get that patience?

Sometimes showing up is the work.
Sometimes the smallest effort is a quiet show of force:
I’m here. I haven’t quit.
Not apathy. Not surrender.
Just the honest edge of what I can give today.

It’s a strategy to soothe something that could probably be soothed with love.
No one needs billions.
Extreme wealth is a weapon, and the people holding it should never have been armed.

Witches aren’t scary because they’re evil.
They’re scary because they have power.
And we were taught that power always hurts someone.
So we project that fear onto women, onto outsiders, onto magic.
A world where power is gentle feels impossible.

We’re just very bad at it.
There are red lines.
Past them: no tolerance.
Between them: negotiation, coexistence, nuance.
Clear boundaries plus messy ambiguity is too much for many.
So they choose rigidity over thinking.
It was never complicated.

They mean: stop resting so we can keep getting richer.
Work longer. Be less sick. Sacrifice more.
But what kind of life calls healing a flaw, so a handful can watch numbers climb?

My mom did all the work.
I mostly showed up, screaming, without consent.
People celebrating that I exist is nice.
But maybe I’d rather celebrate the days I chose to exist well.

I am responsible for not being a jerk.
These are different jobs.
So if you’re mad because I didn’t get mad about losing an argument...
That’s a You Thing.
Silly.

End of tunnel, start of tunnel, whatever.
You’re just tired of concrete and echoes and walking.
Also, statistically speaking, that light is probably a train.

Just because someone carries it lightly doesn’t mean it isn’t heavy.
Just because it looks easy doesn’t mean it wasn’t earned.
We judge covers because we don’t have the pages.
We should practice being glad for each other.
Especially when no one is being harmed.

I got tired in glitches.
The timeline looks straight, but it’s full of holes.
I remember being less tired.
I am tired now.
What happened in between?
No idea.
Missing link.
Homo fessus.

It’s about how many suffer for a king’s bad choice.
A boy turned beast.
A boy sent to die.
Trapped in a maze they never built.
Life wasn’t hard enough, so we’re told to fight inside it.
All we have is a thin red thread, passed between dissenters.

We forgot to teach them how to care.
So now brilliance builds engines, but emptiness chooses where they drive.
Sometimes I can’t tell if this is a cruel joke or sincere incompetence.
Either way, the heart was never invited.

facts melt first, truth burns thinner.
The future flickers, fed by chaos -
crossfire of stupidity, all sacrificed for almost nothing.

So we become the degenerate ones - the weak, the strange.
Welcome to the House of the Degenerate, where feeling exists. We don’t need strength born from hate.

- the polite, approved one.
Just be human without costumes.
But acceptance is hard, so we get dressed anyway.
Every day, another mask.
Every day, pretending it fits.

Even monsters love - with terrible roars, cruel claws, pointed teeth.
They just have to be careful that
“I’ll eat you because I love you”
doesn’t stop being metaphor and start being true.
