You’re on a mission to spread your message, enslave thought processes and make people do what you want them to do.
The population is unaware of what they are subjected to. Your weapons come in the guise of an identity crisis, religious fervour, conspiracy theories and constructed fear.
There will be moments when you feel pity for their ignorance. Those traces of humanity may try to veer you off course, but you are on a mission.
Make of it a parka for your soul so the chill outside does not impact you. Keep moving in the warmth of your purpose because you will create and overwrite history. Your names, or those of your masters, will go up in golden letters in places of worship constructed with people’s money.
They are protecting their misplaced identity in a cloud of fear. They deserve what they get.

Great post, thanks, very thoughtful and relevant

I think the only hope is that those who weren’t paying proper attention – taking their news from the lies on social media, may get a shock awakening and fight back as they lose income, healthcare and rights and perhaps the sociopaths will learn that they have overeached themselves (not just in the US either…)

So relevant. Such an impactful use of the prompt, Reena.

Reena, that’s a spot-on stream of consciousness rationalization of a sociopath and/or psychopath. I’ve read multiple articles that talk about how many of them exist in the corporate world, with their pathologies actually helping them thrive. Of course they love to run for public office also.
You missed a few words in Ms. Walker’s lines of poetry…

The lines were not highlighted, so I took cues from other poems. If you help me with the lines, I’ll re-do the piece.

Reena, at the top of the post is the complete quote. If you just add those few words you took out I don’t think you would need to re-do. (unless you really want to)

Yes, we are in a time where outrage is peddled at every turn and “the answer” is a prescribed toxic cocktail of vengeance, ruthlessness, oligarchy and just plain darkness. Your prose evokes this very well.
