Knee-jerk

Click bait

Set to trigger

Fragile egos

Ready to burst

With opinions

Guided by

Algorithms



Triggers set

Only antagonize

Never relax

That is why

Social media

Calls what

You scroll through

“A feed”




People grunting

Their way over to

The digital trough

To consume

Whatever slop

Their owners want

To feed them

To keep them dull

From over consumption

Swallowing the actual

Nutrition mixed in

But ignored

That points out

Not to be distracted



Be at peace

Love your neighbor

Hint: (everyone on

The planet is….

Your neighbor)

We are all certainly on

The same spaceship




So save your

Knee-jerks for

The doctor when

They acknowledge

That you can feel



“Knee-jerk” is an expression meaning
an immediate, automatic response
made without much thought.

What it implies

Reflexive – like the physical knee-jerk reflex tested by doctors
Unconsidered – not carefully reasoned
Often emotional, habitual, or defensive

Examples

“His knee-jerk reaction was to get angry
before hearing the full story.”

“Opposing the idea was a knee-jerk response,
not a thoughtful critique.”

Tone & usage

Usually critical or dismissive,
suggesting the response lacked depth

Common in politics, debates,
psychology, and everyday speech

“It’s never going to get any better, don’t look for it. Be happy with what you got. Because the owners of this country don’t want that.

I’m talking about the real owners now.

The big wealthy business interests that control things and make all the important decisions.

Forget the politicians. They are irrelevant.

The politicians are put there to give you the idea that you have freedom of choice.

You don’t.

You have no choice.

You have owners.

They own you.

They own everything.

They own all the important land.

They own, and control the corporations.

They’ve long since bought, and paid for the Senate, the Congress, the state houses, the city halls, they got the judges in their back pockets and they own all the big media companies, so they control just about all of the news and information you get to hear.

They’ve got you by the balls.”

– George Carlin



The distractions

Are easy to spot

All you have to do is

Just look carefully to

Spot obvious ones

By their vague source

With a constant one

Drum beat direction




The second easy one

From a different direction

Are those gently tapping

For an opinion that has on

The outcome, zero relevance

It simply hooks you in

For statistical nonsense

To satiate one’s ego that

“Your” opinion “matters”

It doesn’t. It goes nowhere

Save keeping you occupied

Away from your divinity

Knowing you are one

With Source, of course




“My biggest fear is one day one of these kids is going to be President, and he’s going to have a lot of trophies. He’s not going to know what losing feels like.

He’s not going to have humility, and he’s not going to have grace. Someone’s not going to sign a trade agreement, and he’s going to hit the nuke button. We’re going to be so high, we’re just going to watch.

As that nuclear fireball rips the flesh from our skeletons, our last thought is going to be….Pretty colors.”

“I just want to be
The antidote for the
Poisonous Kool-aid
People have ingested.”
