Homo moronic?

 

Awhile back I opened a substack account, thinking I would figure out something to post.

Recently, I had an inspiration to collect my favorites of my writing, over these many years.

It occurred to me to post these on my substack

Who knows, maybe I might eve get some feedback.

I get that there are people who are

prevented from voting, or for whom

it is made too difficult.  That makes 

it more imperative that those of us

without those burdens perform our

basic civic duty.

Why can't we just let people be?

What makes us feel we need to

interfere in personal integrity, to

make our narrow path beliefs

outweigh outpouring of expression

by each precious human life?

It's not about differences in beliefs,

moralities.

It's that the core feature of these

people is being mean.

Why come down on our young

for device -- social media --

dependency?  From whom have they

learned that this is how we human,

and then been left (no matter how

over-scheduled) on their own?

Perhaps our underlying problem

is the seeping out of human intelligence

-- we are becoming less Home sapien,

more Homo moronic.

We pretty much all have our thing(s),

issues, inadequacies.  We are not

special for being bullied, cruelly treated,

unappreciated, ignored.

So, tell your story, embellished or stark,

transparent through dark, to take its

place among the multitude.

Yet without expectation of rising above

the rest.
