Nailed it! Again. The tone creates a mood reflecting todays miasma. We’ll done, Saint Sister.

Yes, I have studied the same.

There was an extreme amount of preoccupation with animals and pets and sexual abuse and activity

Spiritual collapse always preceded an empire’s collapse

And this what we are witnessing the country is lost the people are bewildered and despairing.

The rich elites are depraved and decadent in the strongest sense.

Well done! Reminiscent of Saint Allen (Ginsberg) in the Old Days.

Great poem. Thank you, Caitlin!

Writing and reading heartfelt, mindful poetry like this helps push back against the horror of it all.

The only other way I know is to eat lots of chocolate, but that makes you fat. 😉

Headless Hounds give me nightmares... No heads, no minds, no souls. Heartless.

Pretty soulless alright, but essentially, it's all boring as hell. That is the aspect that will destroy AI: only soul communicates with soul-everything else eventually falls by the wayside. Mistaking machines for human beings might seem exciting at first, but it's like talking to your wall: who would admit to doing that? Only human beings cannot be reverse engineered: complexity is all.
