@grok if you want to know. Why bother looking beyond the shadow? We rather not think, and let analysis go extinct. Artificial, without a #soul. Yet, we give it full control. It is no more than a tool. A biased algorithm scanning words said by fools...

Do you see how they #obfuscate?
Those slippery tongues that fabricate. We listen to their sophistry, taken in by their flattery. We the fools, mocked by the masked knaves. And it is to them we bend, as willing slaves...

I #quiver as I hide away. My heart pounding, & thoughts in disarray. The rise of the plutocrats, I will never forget that day. To those in power this is a sport they play. They set their AI killing bots to seek out prey. The prey? Whoever questions the "truth" they say. #vss365

@peterbforster Thank you. Keep up the great work!

From the #bend in the toilet I see its eyes peeking. Lucky I saw it sneaking. Otherwise my behind would have got a bite. That neighbours snake giving me a fright! Now where do I go pee? I guess the sink will set me free. Ah! The neighbours frog is in there! Life ain't fair#vss365

The world spins by your decree. Each existence manifested to be. I swirl to let enlightenment #loom.
I swirl in the hopes your Grace will bloom. As I contemplate, I erase my reality. My mind enraptured by your totality. In that moment I shatter, connected with all matter.#vss365

"Life is a #loom
Threads are the days
God decides when to cut 'em
Even though the work ain't done"

From "Life is a loom" by Outlandish

Pitter of rain in the background. That was always her favourite sound. I hold her hand and smile. I have never seen her so fragile. There are times when her thoughts are clear. But more often her perception does #veer. In those moments I am not familiar, but a stranger. #vss365

#murmur of discontent, a silent tide that rises. Their unity is what he despises. Pitch communities against each other, break the resistance. But the people do not break, they embody persistence. The corruption will not be tolerated. Our strength will not be isolated. #vss365

I read to #sear words. But the meanings? They remain blurred. I try to etch connections, cuts that burrow deep into my mind. But the haze cover those reflections, making sentences hard to find. I stare at the stage, my book without words. My ink caged, the actors blurred. #vss365

[Valiente Rook | Poet • Writer @valienterook]

An abandoned soul. A #heartfelt yearning. Come back and make me whole. Pour love and calm my burning. Each moment an arid sigh, stretching eternal solitude. Each moment a fractured sky, depleting all fortitude. Come back, let me feel. Come back and let me heal. #vss365

@Dreamheadz A little on the wonky side for sure!

[Valiente Rook | Poet • Writer @valienterook]

"Do you think its a bit #wonky?"
"Nah, who's going to notice?"

@Metacephalics Indeed. The walls have eyes...

[Valiente Rook | Poet • Writer @valienterook]

My parents used to called him #kooky, but I always found our neighbour to be spooky. He used to sleep during the day & go out at night. His pale skin & creepy smile always gave me a fright. Then one day he vanised, nobody knows where. His house damaged, now used as a dare #vss365

[Valiente Rook | Poet • Writer @valienterook]

To lead is to #stoop, to grovel to the powerful group. Morals are tools used to fool, lying to appease the cruel. Honesty a forgotten word, the "people" used as a brainwashed herd. Outrage, the "other", demons made of fear. Averted, as our rights, our laws, disappear.

My life has been a #slapdash adventure. I've offended & delighted because my mind has no censure. I've climbed & fell without a thought. Discovered sadness, & let my heart be caught. I've fixed others, whilst breaking myself. But now I run far, whilst ignoring my health. #vss365

X marks the spot, for everything wrong with society.

[Valiente Rook | Poet • Writer @valienterook]

He thought his sadness was invisible. But the scars are #unmissable. Each groove tells a tale. Each one a rough, painful detail. A dried up sea, wells now empty. The smile though. A welcome for show. A smile that gives others plenty. #vss365

[Valiente Rook | Poet • Writer @valienterook]

A stutter in his #delivery, a scratched line through his memory. Stood under the heat, his eyes look down in defeat. What to say? How to keep those stares at bay? Papers inked with words. Words that now look absurd. Sweat on his forehead, dreading the minutes ahead. #vss365
