color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What an age we are living in, where every little good that happens is a highlight instead of being the norm. It says a lot of the amount of troubles we all have to face every single day.</span></span></p><span style="font-family: times;"><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Some have more troubles to face than others, and that is a problem of the way society has been built over the last few decades - which most of us are aware of. We are all working towards making it better in our own way, prioritising and tackling the topics that matter to each one of us individually. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">There are a lot of things to fix in this current world we are living in. Some might say too many even. But we are all defending something close to our heart, even those who appear to be opposing whatever we are trying to fight for. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Whether you are at the lowest end of the pyramid or at the top, we are all responsible for the current state of things. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">What matters is your thought process behind each decision you make, who you are working for and what are you working towards, and how conscious you are of the impact - both negative and positive - of any decision you make when you do have the opportunity to do so. Studies say the regular adult makes 35 000 choices a day. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">So, of course you will make mistakes, this is a trait of being human, and we have multiple frameworks to ensure you do not keep going on committing mistakes, but most mistakes you can repent for, be it through the framework (law being one of them) or outside of it.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Outside of the framework though, it comes down to your sense of responsibility, your moral compass, your courage to look back, your willingness to accept criticism and input from other parties - to evaluate how you should move ahead to ensure you do not commit such a mistake again. Even from the darkest corners of your life, you can bounce back and be an inspiration to others e.g. literary works from prisoners.</span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">That's being agile in your life, that's accepting that you are a continuous work in progress, iterating not towards perfection, but rather making the world a better place for whoever inherits it after you, so they still understand the work that still has to be done and how they can help, rather than them just sitting back and enjoying the privilege they have, or worse, repeating your mistake in a worse way. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">This sense of responsibility is your biggest legacy that you can leave your progeny, protégés and the generations to come. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">With a pandemic about, a host of inequality issues, and a system based on punishment and cancellation rather than education, restoration and correction, it is easy to be overwhelmed by everything and wear blinkers. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It is normal to let your genetic survival instincts prevail so you can focus on your own issues and stay in your echo chamber, but maybe reach out to someone with different views than yours, hear their arguments, understand them with an open heart. Not an open mind. See the human first. Imagine a bit, what if it were your loved one instead of that stranger. </span><br style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;" /><span style="background-color: white; color: #202124; font-size: 16px; font-variant-ligatures: none; letter-spacing: 0.1px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hack your own cognitive biases, let your heart bloom in the face of the human in front of you. </span><br style="background-color: white;

So begins a new journey</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And a killing spree</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
New horizons across the sea</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To find more of me</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rip away every influence</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Kill the nonsense</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From nature, chosen cages and nurture</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bare a heart to calm the stir</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Chart a course for the cleanse</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let the pen and the gen contend</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Under the Eye of Horus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Leading us to the Source</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Where we're moulding anew</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Forgetting the blue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Crafting a breakthrough</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To leave behind everything untrue</div>

What a joke it is<br />
That months and years<br />
Can be so rapidly sheared<br />
By too many damned words<br />
<br />
How funny it is<br />
That despite so many talks<br />
My heart was never your landmark<br />
And you left me, out cold to freeze<br />
<br />
How comic it is<br />
That you don't even realise<br />
Not facing & rectifying your mistakes<br />
Made reasons and whys, but fake<br />
<br />
How dumb it is<br />
That I thought you would never<br />
Play me ever<br />
But you did bring me to my knees<br />
<br />
How unfair it is<br />
That I will never hear her<br />
Her stories & her sleepy purr<br />
Stockholmed me at ease<br />
<br />
How easy it is<br />
Cutting me out<br />
Sick and exiled out<br />
With the keychain & memoirs<br />
<br />
How lucky it is<br />
That we never took any vows<br />
For you would have broken them already<br />
In health ready, but in sickness gone baby!<br />
<br />
So that's how it is,<br />
Therapy and burning energy<br />
Sedates me to sleep<br />
So I cannot weep<br />
<br />
Yet...<br />
Despite the shove<br />
Only love<br />
No regret</div>

A life brought in this ratrace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fruit of a vase rife with thrace,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Destitute thought and grace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A soul lovingly embraced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But a hole full of distaste</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is it that cannot be effaced?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A blazing riot in this carcase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Never ready, never braced</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
An ever empty vase </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A growing clot pounding a deep bass</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This world a fucking disgrace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only a shitty marketplace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A matter of birthplace, color and race</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Someone give it some streptokinase</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or a gun to save some face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A body bludgeoned by a mace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Again and again, a faster pace</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
This interface of too many a poker face</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A must for the lust to get to third base</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Social, cyber, all a waste of space</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Let the heart under, so it finds solace</div>

Ribbed gap of mine</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Heart hah, pure stein</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A smile that shines</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe even blinds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And then none can see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What's beneath the glee</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unanswered goes the why</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not even I </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Can decrypt this </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Absence of bliss</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So break clean</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And restart after a sheen</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Expecting a change</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fool's errand of the strange</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
None can understand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Nor can they stand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The burden I bear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Escapes the deepest stare</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The tear and wear</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of the patchwork unfair</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lying in a bind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ribbed gap of mine</div>

The night brings words</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Those caress and haunt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Devoid of rest, full of taunt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The Sandman deterred</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Them words light a bulb</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Their letters lego-ing up</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Swallow 'em up in a gulp</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Literary hookup of a schmuck</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The bright of the dawn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Arranges up the letters</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fawning on the spawn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In stanzas and verses </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One last proofread</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Before we exceed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
All flair put bare</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Through this nightly affair</div>

It is easy to just hate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you lie and stagnate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fear that cannot abate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Ignorance that intoxicates</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Not seeing the degenerate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the mirror's duplicate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fixating on how to alienate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To just agitate and aggravate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Rather why not amputate,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Devaluate a belief so ingrate?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For a mind that can mediate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To expand and gravitate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will faster mutate and proliferate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Raise your pulse and growth rate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So why go for hate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When love can stimulate?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get rid of that weight</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Of ignorance and fear that castrate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Get a backbone, you invertebrate</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make the world your soulmate</div>

Ashes in an urn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Turn and burn</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Post-combust</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Return to the dust</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Spark an ember</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Feed the tinder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Light the fire</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bright the pyre</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Bones to powder</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Cometh the hour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Party down under</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In the Devil's bunker</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Barrier breached</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And milestone reached</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Slow and easy we go</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enjoying Life's gentle to and fro</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why strife for the scythe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When there's no way out?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Might as well faff about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And be blessedly blithe</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Maybe just an exiled's excuses</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or a finger to the Universes</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Stung or sung, the double tongue</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now too old to die young</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Thirty could be alchemic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or maybe just Torschlusspanik</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

And what will you do,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the going gets tough;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When life's seas get rough;</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When the threat of Death</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Or worse befalls you?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Who will you blame?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Without any shame</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anything, anyone, but you.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fate & circumstances,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Family and acquaintances, </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
God, Satan, and their minions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Excuses in the millions</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Just not to stare in that mirror</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Oh the lies, the horror!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To even remotely consider</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That you're in error</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
To realise... you're a sinner.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

Heed the teachings of Old</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
In order to be ready</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When destiny unfolds</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Watch carefully</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The happenings of this century</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Following its course</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Driven by an unknown Force</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A galaxy controlled by Darths</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Enemy of the home and hearth</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So control your midichlorians</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And stray not from the Jedi path</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For therein lies the Darth dens</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Only then can you fairly cater</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And justly police<br />
The galaxy's Justice and Peace<br />
<br />
May you never waver</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Armed only with your heart<br />
And a lightsaber</div>

First came gender</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Then came colour</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And after came religion</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One after the other</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Another cut, another incision</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Now with every choice,</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You affirm your individuality</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fight for a voice</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Yet, eroding solidarity</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Why do you focus so much</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
On the superfluous?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You silently judge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
While keeping a grudge</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
And forget the most important</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The common factors lying dormant</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Playing in the warmongers' hands </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No one taking a stand</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
I beg of you please</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Put your own soul at ease</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Fight not coz of things that divide us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
But rather those that unite us</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't be a minus</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
When you can be a plus</div>

Lift up your head</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Walk on in the storm</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Succumb not to the dread</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Be, don't conform</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For that would kill you</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Your identity, individuality</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Don't transform, push through </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shred the pressure of community</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That sadistic cage so red</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
So many pretty souls bled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Shine on, spread those wings</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Show off your unique zing</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Coz if you're subdued or prude</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You're gonna get screwed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

A level of happiness exists</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One that never desists</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Hidden in a mist so thick</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The road to it so cryptic</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One that few can even see</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For it flees like an esprit</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As most live within their bubble</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Exaggerating their struggle</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Short-sighted with a 20/20 vision</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
No wonder humanity's an abberration</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For behaviour so insular</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Will achieve Moksha never</div>

<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Love is so ethereal</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">But is the most real</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">It makes you willingly fall </span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">And then breaks you whole</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">When the key ones leave</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A barren heart up your sleeve</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">Once more from the start</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">All the time in vain trying </span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">And never properly mending</span><br />
<span style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab" , "times new roman" , serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;">A gruesome mosaic of a heart</span><br />
<br style="background-color: #fafafa; font-family: "roboto slab", "times new roman", serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-wrap;" />

<br />
2016 was horrible. If ever there was a retrospective done, the things that went wrong and needed to be fixed, would require a tremendous amount of effort from us all.<br />
2016 was a reverberating slap in the face of the progressives who just stay in front of their device and are furiously typing their valuable opinions as comments on Facebook. That is not how you make a stand. Action needs to follow. And this is what we need to talk about.<br />
<br />
With the amazing rise of certain groundbreaking research, great products came to life this year: Tesla Solar Panels, LEAF, Microsoft Surface Studio, PeeWorld VR, amongst others. These products are presented by one person usually. Problem is: everyone thinks that person was the guy who "invented" the product in question and therefore focus is misplaced. More importantly, credit is wrongly given and aspirations are built on the wrong motivation. For a product to be successful, its vision needs to be shared across a majority or all of the people involved in its creation (and adoption).<br />
<br />
Society has been conditioning us to believe in our individuality and uniqueness, and also to be afraid of the situations and behaviours that we do not comprehend. Oldest rule in the book: "Divide and conquer". As an individual, we can discover our own talents, strengths and weaknesses and hone those to move forward. But is moving forward really that important if you move forward alone? Is this a war where you need to stand victorious on a conical pile of corpses?<br />
<br />
As one person, your chance of bringing about a globally significant change is 'slim' and I use the word loosely here. Plus, it is in those high up that societal pyramid (goverment and/or private sector) hands' that you play in, when you do start acting as a lone wolf. You are <b>not significant</b>. Your views do <b>not matter </b>as a singular person. However, to maybe give a bit more of a fight, you can assemble/join a collective/team representing your views that would have a bit more weight in the proverbial scales. The collective consciousness, the <b>hivemind</b>, is probably the only way, as a population in a so-called democracy, that you have to pressure and make your voice heard to those having the decisional power. Also, seek to understand things and situations before you do judge it by its (mainstream media's) cover, do a nice gesture for or make friends with people you never would have approached. Look at what Bernie and his team brought about: an eye-opening revolution against the fucked-up system made for the powerful. Same thing happening with the young politicians in China.<br />
<br />
Austerity is clutching at the last straws of how to keep control throughout the world, we've seen this wave taking over globally. All the dictators, the fucked up systems working only for those at the top, the blatant corruption, trying to impose as many laws to restrict and restrain. But, if we get together, accepting that we are one, maybe we have a chance. Sometimes, good things happen when you take a leap of faith.<br />
<br />
So leave those keyboards and screens. Do something tangible. Get people together. Hear their issues. See if you find a common ground to make your voice heard as a collective. <b>For the fight is just beginning. </b></div>

Clouded black with doubt</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Unsure what brought it about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A heart too given</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A soul too heavy</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A dream too shabby</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A mind too barren</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What is a man</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With a spirit broken?</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Jaded and bled</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Conned and siphoned</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
A forsaken path to tread</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Free from all earthly bond</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
One famished vagabond </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Seeking the greys of the beyond</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>

This era awaits definition</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
From us, the nation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Decades of racism and fascism</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
You can wipe it all out</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
With altruism and activism</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
That's how change comes about</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Erase all the grudges</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
The cognitive bias, the judges</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Remember to be kind</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
For that's how Peace is designed</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make it so that when people look back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
They won't wish to be amnesiac</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Make it so that they stand in ovation</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
As one people, in awe at the past revolution</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
