As I walk into the room
A room that looks vibrant, open, and collaborative
yet with no human life inside
I see smiles. Yet the movements are not real to my thinking
my sensitivities are at an all time high
this space is not made for creative minds..creative thinking
the dictation admits
Only certain types of minds
to be able to function within this space
while chaos is quietly contained
so sophisticated play is not admitted
my universal mind
is a walking target
my critical view
is forsaken
“I don’t want her working on any projects”
so I’m unseen
unheard
and murdered everyday walking in that building
no true love for humankind because original thinkers are looked at as nonhuman
no respect of a new nomenclature of learning
There’s shallowness
that breaths coldness with the space
Whether it’s real or fake
it’s thoroughly made known that only certain people can partake within this turning over of ole bones of a system
Only those who are deemed competent can exist or be semi valued
While the axis of compassion, love, vibrational soul
have no way to live within it
There’s no windows to living life..no plants, no music, no dance, no living rituals that breath fresh air into the atmosphere
Super Egos rule this “game of org” types species
no humility
no fun
no dreams are allowed
Your passions are for our control and take
only disrespect of life
gives you the right credentials to paper create
The system within system within system is built for those who only see numbers, the roi, the do-what’s told type of thinking…
innovation…that’s a play around word for old homspaien culture
Being revolutionary …creating authenticity within an inauthentic environment
an inauthentic system
means you can get killed, maimed, disgraced and murdered amongst the species of the old system
While going against the grain speaking truth
refusing integration upon deaths door
risk-taking is not valued unless you embrace the colonized mind of dominance
so a white boy can write out a CV of mistakes while embracing congratulations and people like me get a write up, a warning, or no projects.
This is a strange strange place of many strange fruits
misconceptions
rudeness for the sake of research
masked within technological pedagogy
A sad sad sad place without a care for redemption
a collaborative space of killing creative minds with no forgiveness
