Ode to So Much Rigging
The truth is still the truth, even if no one believes it. A lie is still a lie, even if everyone believes it.
So much rigging going on … hard to tell the demarcation point
Between a rig, a swipe, a trope, a meme, a lie, a fact.
Rigging meaning ropes and wires that support the ship
Designed in reality not to waylay function and support.
But how to rig people is a bigly project from base and up…
Some things can be rigged; some things cannot be as listed:
Rigging works for grifts, propaganda, reality shows, victims,
No shame hypocrites, threats, revenge, or radicalized autocrats.
Rigging does not work for frauds, legal indictments and jury trials
Evidenced by prosecution and defense versus tribal conspiracies.
Innocence cannot be rigged or conscience tried in one’s morality.
No one is above validation by law so convicted felons face justice not retribution.
Democracy cannot be rigged nor self respect nor faith in laws’ sanctity…
But when you’re in a rigged state, what worship is your world?
