to enslave with domestication

to enslave with domestication
it is always superficial, caused by humans without gumption.
their hearts are frozen. their dysfunctionality, contagious.
i am preoccupied with difficulties. the air is too cold.
with temerity i shiver. the communal sun radiates not on me.
a treasure from my mother might be a memory of times past.
it’s a species thing. natural. days of wretched misery.
hours of dolorous suffering. i am stabbed by unblunted thorns.
calluses form as if I were to transmute into an uncultivated cactus.
i question the distress in the experience of humanity:
to savor. to self-reflect. to engage in life with exactitude.
to appraise with attitude. to enslave with domestication.
i stare with solemnity, “is protection around the corner?”

Verification wastes my time, and often doesn't work. I am going to stop commenting on pages that require verification one of these days.

Humans without gumption, indeed…nice to see you at Magpie!
enslave with domestication—fine phrase.
whew…a rough life eh? there is a downside of domestication…a sunjugation of the will of another to that of another….even if in the name of protection….
