“You never know how strong you are, until being strong is your only choice.” Bob Marley
Couldn’t sleep last night, bothered by buzzing BOTS
Or Bits of Thoughts … incessant scratching, kind or mean,
But which one will pierce my mind’s skin, mix its saliva
With my blood to propagate “wrigglers” and “tumblers”
In water … tepid infestation or clear springs of facts?
Each skinny long-legged segment with ready probing proboscis
To suck my blood’s mental energy seeking reality;
But which BOT will bite … radicalized totalitarian conspirator
Who purges secret service records … flouts precedented rules of law?
Or the BOT with progressive spirit of patriots’ pride prevailing
Democracy with liberty, justice, and fundamental rights?
BOTS are manipulated as the greatest weapons of INFORMATION,
It’s my choice to hand smack this mayhem to an ugly smear
On history’s wall and stop this infected torture of the TRUTH.
