PROMPT #201

Just a sentence. I won’t say anything more.

A stranger in a very strange land..

There is no restriction on length or format of the piece. There is no last date either, unless you wish to be featured in the Weekly Wrap.

➰➰➰

I am A stranger in a very strange land

Lost without a map to guide

There are no signposts no markers

I have to go the wrong way many a times

To find where I really want to go

Making several mistakes before I discover

The right way to do what I want to do

Life is a strange land and I am a stranger

Only by living it that I learn how to

And by that time I am nearing the end

Of this journey, still discovering, still learning

Inspired by Eugenia’s Weekly Prompt – Peace & Reena’s Exploration Challenge #201

being a stranger in a very strange land
looking for better opportunities, peace
and respite from the atrocities of war
would mean a continued fight against another’s bigotry

it hurts this humanist’s heart

I’m on the pavement, thinking about the government, the secret government of alien reptile paedophiles that rules the world, except it’s not a secret any more because Q-anon told me on their secret internet, the one that’s not controlled by the secret government of alien reptile paedophiles that rules the world.

Look out, kid, it’s somethin’ you did (God knows when) but you’re doin’ it again, writing things people disagree with and getting deleted and becoming the worst sinner of all, a living old white man.

You don’t need a weather man to know which way the wind blows, especially when it blows out the candle of knowledge because some people prefer the black hole of ignorance (I’m looking at you, Karen).

Don’t follow…

PROMPT WORD:HANDLE

There once was a trucker named Lewis who adopted the CB radio handle ‘The Truth’.

He had dropped out of college to pursue the lucrative trucking profession, partly to annoy his bourgeoisie parents, and partly, to avoid the mounting overwhelming debt he perceived on the horizon.

Lewis had embraced the short collegiate tutoring he’d been exposed to, though, and believed that everyone who never attended university, was stupid, so he felt assured to be the ‘best’ because of his superior intellect.

His blue collar instructors found him an infuriating challenge, during training, primarily because of his arrogant attitude and condescension, so his chosen handle was just an extension of Lewis’ know-it-all persona.

Well, Lewis made many costly mistakes and was considered a liability at his first two jobs where he was ‘let go’ swiftly due to his pigheadedness!

Presenting himself as an ‘expert driver’, on his third…
