Thought’s antithesis
And manipulation’s tool:
A cruel income.

Near Eternally
Persistent and pulsing: from annoying to overwhelming
Alternately sharp and sudden followed by all or none.
Intermittent, inexplicable, important, or inexorable:
Near eternally if not present
For $600

For $600, drug packets can fly
Over a wall and through the sky.
For the cost of 2 ladders, less ambitious can climb
Up and down (picked up by a car in no time).
For the cost of a shovel and 2-3 days,
They can risk a patrol and tunnel their way.
For 2 million dollars, engineers have designed
Longer-lasting tunnels that travel miles blind.
And still for drug-running, most work stays wall-free
With approach more direct through ports on the sea.
So as existing walls neither stop nor reveal
Do new walls stop, cost, slow, or conceal?
Regret
Rightful emotion after
Erring and wronging another.
Grossly inappropriate, even a
Ridiculous or offensive
Effort when no wrong was done.
Treasured or wasteful?
Relentlessly Targeted
Planned posts and statements
Relentlessly targeted and
Officially designed to
Persuade the viewer.
Attention is paid to the
Grim and horrible –
All the most emotionally fearful.
Not to forget the
Directed flattery.
Aimed at unified division.
Evidence
No more true or right than
Any other would be.
Molded from cultures, hearts, and minds:
Evidence more than cause.
“Ok”
You smile when you see them.
When they ask, you say, “Ok.”
You con the world and wish you could
Con yourself in the same way
