It’s always the same.
I always get here, to this place of being.
Quiet and confused by simple complexity.
Do you feel A or do you feel B?
Probably if you ask the question it’s both.
Eco would say it’s based on the rules society gives,
Kristeva would argue it’s based on what society holds back,
Beauvoir would say you have to consistently give it meaning and Camus would say it’s only the means you give it that has weight.
Marvin the paranoid robot would say your evolved mushrooms that get caught up on wanting meaning and many others will continually argue their own points.
It’s all so arbitrary said Saussure and Pierce said it goes deeper into the intersubjective.
I get tired of trying to juggle the theory but I like the funny moments as they hold me in a better mood. Deb Dana said it’s our nervous system and others say it’s parasites. I am the egg man, I’m a walrus. Hear me roar..
Against the evil that enslaves,
our musculature
is the reading and information....
that reveal freedom...
Evil makes wars
we make fight... evil does
malice, egocentricity, ignorance
stupidity, cause us
cognitive gaps... but
The righteous fight
with literature,
lucidity
and poetry...
We must dialogue with
the thought, Plato,
Socrates,
Beauvoir...
Dialogue is our meeting...
dialogue with everyone
That's how we create resistance...
against hate,
the remedy is Love!

The Second Sex Cuts the Floor
I’m not De Beauvoir
And you’re no Satre
Try again tomorrow

Try again tomorrow, the Satre

"Immolation"
I move into you
like a roaring Queensland Summer
You’re overtaken by heat, yet think I’m unobtainable
I’m too far away
A grown-arsed man
owns the footsteps he walks in
travels his world
scared of a woman
gone
grown-arsed girl
“Man Oh Man
she’s so not safe,
she’s so non-linear”
I move into you
like a roaring Queensland Summer
You think I’m unobtainable
I’m too far away
The fuel is laid
Sparks lit
communication is at least laid
(LadyLabyrinth/2019)
“Three simple rules in life: If you do not go after what you want, you'll never have it. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no. If you do not step forward, you will always be in the same place.”
"I tore myself away from the safe comfort of certainties through my love for truth - and truth rewarded me."Simone de Beauvoir
Voltaire just Kant angle cut it
Beauvoir broad side view
abut the narrow Rousseau
gender Thoreau thought causeway
As Sarte Marx the entrance unlit —
Avicena chapiters atop da Vinci pillars,
Stuart Mill sturdily sit
Arendt spiral steps turn Spinoza
down to the Alighieri depths
Socrates ambience got a Dewey dungeon
decimal Fodio gradient affectation
Awolowo still wanna Sodipo cubit cut it,
but some Augustinus genius
won’t even Nyerere beveling make
the reed Descartes arch decision
Wollstonecraft overlaid on contoured Witt
Piper leveled with Gargi precision ...
A Solomon blueprint found in a keen closet
COPLA VEINTIOCHO : This Bad Guy World
Bad Guys with bad girls squirt at will
Since sexual revolution:
Plague emotion
The intellectual love kill
Learn from Left-drilled safe permission:
Drug-filled Dick-tion
Kids who rampage on exposed thighs
Quote Beauvoir and Sartre as of right:
Leak-minded sots
They who let babies suck on lies
Heroic mothers out-of-sight:
Who rock the cots
