  • A Horrid Realization

    Ritual abusers,

    in whatever stripe they come –

    Their ceremonies

    You know the ones…

    They’re supposed to represent life:

    A life

    From conception

    That’s the part they show in movies –

    Birth

    Voila

    To death

    All represented neatly

    In one ceremony

    Cool right?

    Clever even

    But despicable beyond all reason

    And it gets worse

    You’d think, oh

    At least it’s over

    For the poor thing

    Wrong!

    That’s the very point of the rite

    Not just the blood

    The essence

    The life energy

    But the soul

    A slave is born

    A slave

    To a slave

    In a farm

    To make more

    The bottom

    Of this depravity

    I fear

    We have not reached

    Yet

    We need to free those souls trapped

    That cannot be permitted to stand

    These are vile creatures

    With a black hole for a soul

    And no amount of hell-bound souls

    Enslaved

    Can feed what has no bottom

  • an IT conspiracy

    think about it

    they’re everywhere

    in every company

    they manage the pipelines

    design, maintain

    the routes of the most sensitive data

    now, of course, there’s cryptography

    that’s great at keeping individual bits locked

    but zoom out further

    every IT professional

    either work for a company with robust protocols to keep their data safe

    or work for a company that works for another, with non-disclosure agreements up the wazoo

    So that’s fine; all the data stays tucked away, high in the cloud

    But what’s between the lines?

    What can be inferred by what is not said?

    Which companies have agreements with whom?

    And the boots on the ground, they know where at least some of the bodies are buried

    They know what they’re asked to do and not do

    But they have an idea of what is what and what goes where

    So, in the lines between what is not said, as much from what is

    Could be pieced together the most valuable

    Dangerous and incendiary secrets
