. I can empathize with the powerful,  I can glimpse their pain. . I with nothing and those with the most power in the world have one thing in common. We both hate obeying anyone else. The price of never following, of never taking orders from others is loneliness. . I am lonely because I do not bend or bow or show deference. And neither do they. . But unlike them, as a person with nothing I still have to obey police, shops, and some social crap. ...And this saves me!  . The more you obey and bend the less lonely you are. = As to obey, to be flexible, is to be a real part of the world. . Obedience equals honest popularity and real friendship.

My rage is not my friend. My inner violence wants to make me it's bitch.  ...and I won't let it. .

But I do not condemn all bald people. . My blood splattered across the floor, Of a pub. But I do not condemn all pubs. . My attacker wore shoes. But I do not think all people who wear shoes are violent. . My attacker was also black, But that will not turn me into a racist. . The crimes of one does not, - will not, - can never, - Define everyone else in some, pulled out of your arse, category. Just because your little, easily led, mind wants it to, - - Longs and aches for it too. . An asylum seeker killed children. BUT… The crime of one asylum seeker - will not, - can never, - Define the souls of all asylum seekers. Just because your little, easily led, mind wants it to, - - Longs and aches for it too. . The unforgivable evil crimes of one white-led British empire, Who ruthlessly crushed this ...
