Pulsations In a Persistent Pattern

The pounding in my head, a persistent throbbing
A cause for concern says the vascular people
It could be something complex or rather simple
This constant drumming, almost unspeakable,
Which keeps me awake when I should be sleeping
Pulsations in a persistent pattern mimic a cadence
Suggest coming from the innermost cerebrum
Not from a snare, but a tom-tom-like rhythmic drum
Even more pronounced than a cicada’s feral dance
This ethereal pounding heard not by anyone else
For my ears alone this thumping rush deep inside
Like a resentment I should've held in confidence
[A compulsive, secret lover hidden in Warm Springs]
Were it not for the imminent danger to life itself,
Requiring specialized tests only insurance approves
In the meantime, I write lyrics to accompany the beat.

Michael Tor Date: 10/23/2022 6:22:00 PM Milton they are saying that wi-fi towers are causing this in many people also cell phones if not kept at a distance, and smart meters for your home. It is electrical or radiation related. It is all in theory right now but many experts believe so. Thought I should help and resolve for you... One more thing your computer also. It emits radiation also. Do research on protecting yourself from the computers radiation there has been a lot of literature published on this effect on people. Wish you Login to Reply Michael Tor Date: 10/23/2022 10:24:00 PM Drs are starting to find out about this it is fairly new because the wifi is fairly new as well as the towers. In certain countries it is well known. There is a book called Radiation Nation by Daniel Debaun. Best seller talks about the ill effects of computers, smart meters for your house, wifi, wifi towers, and cell phones. Many Doctors do not know to much about it... Better to go to Youtube and listen to the Doctors there that deal with this problem. Michael Tor Date: 10/23/2022 10:19:00 PM It is under EHS Electrocmagnetic Hyper Sensitivity. L Milton Hankins Date: 10/23/2022 7:50:00 PM Very interesting, Michael. I shall bring this up when I see the doctor for my scan. I will be interested in what he knows. I am also going to do some research which you have steered me to. My S.A.D.D. has bothered me more, definitely, since I have been spending a majority of my time on the computer.
