Premium Member Professor Yangyinstein's Agenda
The Professor's campaign

that our vulnerable children
will not hate me
and you
for stealing from all Earth's tribal presence,
and any possibility of healthy future?

While Yangyinstein stood stunned
with wonder
about all...

design,
and  economic development

I believe SuperEgo bicameral comprehension
functions, forms, and flows organic

I believe balanced Left-Right consciousness
orbits toward ecstatic psychology.

Mongolophobia and the Eastern Horde
Neither a fable,

This is a fact,
A story to tell,
To everyone, female and male.

That struck the world like a beast,
Attacked Europe...
