It was an unusually quiet night and morning.

“Only” once was the van physically pounded on.

“Only” once was the poet awakened and kept awake for two hours.

“Only” half a dozen vehicles have come by to express support for the poet’s stalker, hiding out, just as usual, in the house across the street.

There hasn’t been time for the targeting network to read this yet and arrange a little hatred parade.

The poet hasn’t yet gone through the absolute frustration which her hacked online work has become.

Maybe there’s energy for an actual offering of poetry right now.

Let’s put it to use looking at why this poet hasn’t been being listened to.

It has to do with our attitude toward anyone who doesn’t worship our Money God ~ those choosing instead, like the poet, to work for the highest good of as many as they can reach, and be content with whatever they are given in return.

These are the opposite of parasites.

And we need to learn to tell the difference.

To Whom we Choose to Listen

I heard
A motivational talk
By Steve Jobs today

“They tell you that you have to live
In a box,” he said
“But life’s not like that.

“You can shape it, mold it.
You can poke life
And something comes out the other side.

“I think it’s
The most important lesson
Anyone can learn…”

Had he said that same thing while standing
In rags on a street corner
It would have motivated

Him right
Into the
Nuthouse

This poet is physically disabled.

Public housing being insufficient to her medical and creative needs, in order to continue working she is presently living in her minivan, publishing all of her works using one thumb on the touch screen of her smartphone and surviving at a fraction of her nation’s poverty level.

If her work has touched you, she would treasure any contribution you might be good enough to offer ~ http://www.UgiftABLE.com ● #72D-31S.

Please be aware that it takes several days for her to be notified of patronage. Thank you for caring.
