(for Gad)
The Saad truth is the Woke Mind Virus
Has now spread far and wide
Across all demographics,
Although it’s clearly concentrated in some
More than others.
But as the good doctor also makes clear
There is a vaccine for this virus.
And it’s a bit like the 12 Step Program
Beginning with acknowledgment
Of one’s own Illness, infection,
And habituation to the doom and gloom
Of Woke’s existential dread.
And then what?
Well, whatever and however many
Steps you choose to do next
With honesty, integrity, courage
Humor and joy,
And, oh yes, don’t forget play.

Why is yesterday
no better than today
'Tis true in each and every generation
‘cross demographics, populations
From Socrates’ time right up until now
‘t's so hard to get hired help these days’ ~ and how
Music is the dance of life
By lady Arabella
Reggae , soul, soco , pop,punk and rock
Listening to the beat of music which makes your body drop and lock
The freedom it brings as it flows
As the baseline drops and you just let go
The story line it can tell as you listen to the lyrics
The concept and relation conceived as beyond- metempirics
Music is the dance of life
Amongst many us in this world it’s one similarity that is rife
Hip hop, electro, jazz and rhythm and blues
Music allows everyone to walk in someone else’s shoes
As the rhythm flows
So do our souls
As the pace of the tempo goes slow and then gets quicker
Hearts can race and your feet like a flame begin to flicker
Music is the dance of life
In a world so consumed with trouble and strife
It brings people together and accompanies others like Homophony
A euphoria that for self can think you have Autophony
Music is the dance of life no matter how far you wander or where you may go
With music in life there’s always a way to two-step into tomorrow
music is the dance of life that can create the foundations of a new dynamic
Regardless of peoples demographics
He's more than 10 years my senior,
and we both are now retired. But
I shall long remember nearly 40
years ago, when from a job I was fired.
When the world all around was saying
'No' to me, he said yes.
They said, "Not enough of this or that".
They said, "Too much education, overqualified".
They said, "Not enough education, underqualified".
They said, "Too young, too reserved";
They said, "Wrong demographics".
There was always something that did not fit.
But through it all, I refused to quit.
I tell you, too little of this and too
much of that became the story of my life.
But he reached out, found a fit and said "Yes" to me.
And that "Yes" has made a world of difference in my life.

Initially,
He gave me the feeling of equality.
Finally, the inequality was obvious.
In my eyes,
He portrayed authority and strength.
In my heart,
He was a sad symbol of weakness.
After giving one's best,
Expectations are high,
And excitement is the feeling.
After giving one's all,
Anticipations are expected,
And you are ready to deal.
Ready to deal with opportunity;
Ready to demonstrate your potential;
Ready to navigate toward your own destiny.
But when one's best is not enough;
And one's all does not mean qualified;
And the demographics are out of line;
And it's not worth the fight or the pout.
It means it's time to move on and out.
Because the future associated with
The entity is not well-suited for you.
Within a few weeks, I felt rejected again.
But because my life is not based on a feeling,
Again, I rose up to rebuild because my life is
Built on the much firmer foundation of faith.

Each company targets specific demographics.
Except for fast food and coffee, where all are targets.
The use of English must be impeccable.
Their is no room for guessing when words are
missing and the reader has to guess at what word
should be used.
Listen to the very successful jingle now in use.
The hard working Korean's being such perfectionist.
The - it's all about you - a million dreams -
The perfect Air Line Commercial that targets U.S.

Just as I seem to have a great deal
to eco-healing say
in favor of positive energy democracy,
I long to hear much more
ego-healing positive win/win communication
highly regarding multicultural demographics,
cooperative economic-nutritional education,
eco-matriarchal spiritual naturality.
The opposite of all these blessings
is StraightMale
LeftBrain NorthWestern Geosphere
predative monocultural dominance,
both ego-testicle
and anthrowhite-supremacist.
Which feels like a whole lot
of negative
manic
autocratic energy
and absence of compassionate
eco-matriarchal communication.
My EarthMother,
and her MotherEarth,
deep learned me
way harmonic healthier than negative supremacy
when positive energy
remains a win/win opportunity.
Society standards is cancer
cancerous
but glamorous on cameras
slanderous those who oppose the demographics
the mechanics of the systems arithmetics governs the populace
my genetics ethics inside my genetic code skeptics
rare relic my breed photosynthesis
The Sons light is food for organisms metropolis
anomalous the anomaly in this monopoly sorry this game trouble democracy
thee economy fixed the shadows in sovereignty
quantity before quality
equality to aliens uncommon breeds
primitive beings technology alien psychologically
microscopically
no harmony
the powers that shouldn’t be
love war not peace
power and greed
hmmmm demonic regime

Message from the Tagboard Media
whating to atrract new people
and not offending those
who they had already attracted
made these new adventures
more pains taken then what people
had figured.
causing people to choose between
their favorites, means having people
to make chooses that
are often more serious then what
the situation calls for.
peoples perspetions
dictate their actions.
and the budget is the configurment of sought
that define the need of things.
whats offered can be made more wideely avalible if those
creative minds allow thought
to sell for others.
It might be wiser to reduce and find a thrid
party more willing and able to
speak to people who like doing
certain things.
in sports and entertainment
grroup activities are cheaper.
being involed in the group, to
have fun, and allow the fun to
have meaning makes sense.
all people need freinds, these activities
allow people to meet.
put the focus on marrage and ZI betcha
people will start coming in .
offer packages that have jargon aimed at developing
the family oreinted fanbase
that
focuses on marriage and the importance of family.
THE PALPITATION OF ORLANDO, FLORIDA (USA)
Decimation on its face through mass execution and hate.
Just another night out painting the town.
No reason to perceive the unsound.
Out of the blue moon a gargantuan came into form.
In denial of himself, “Oscar” he could be called.
His name broadcasted is Omar.
He was seeking an award for what he stood for.
Over a selected lot he stood to devastate.
Ruminating a scene of terror and anxiety to the undue fatalities, methodical carnage and mayhem savagely assaulted every tenth woman or man he encroached upon.
The pulse of the environment did not reply.
They only wanted to save each other lives.
The demographics profligately made a holocaust halo sage as German’s did Jews in their heyday.
A popular gay spot was viciously attacked.
Orlando, Florida (USA) massacre is the deadliest yet.
We light a candle for the victims of Orlando terrorist attack that were massively executed - slaughtered by the confused.
Vigil saliently given.
The palpitation of Orlando, Florida is now in a nation’s memory.

They speak boldly of bravery
But yet cowardly hide from reality
Falsely believing courage to be found in artillery,
and respect in a casualty
I hope they never have to watch life untimely leave
When someone they think fondly of can no longer breath
They talk errantly since their life is at ease
In another part of town a mother weeps on her knees
But now this new recession
Has demographics intersectin
They on wall street concealing weapons
Even buddhists had to toughen
And I just want to be sky bound
When the clouds come unbound
And the instruments sound
Dont wanna be hellbound
Irrelevant anomaly?
individual autonomy
Irreverent reality
(consumate depravity)
Continuing disparity
divisive inhumanity
Nhilist demographics
insidiously tragic...
