Funny to think that among my many interests is poetry by Auden. On the other hand 99.99% of that which interests others has no nourishment for me.

Auden is simply one more dead poet. Like Langston Hughes, Ferlinghetti or John Donne or name any poet dead or alive. Read once forgotten quickly. Who outside of college reads world poetry? A few. In San Francisco few I have politically or socially aligned with for 35 years.
My Substack varies widely. In general I tilt against Totalitarian tyranny. So I have in life. I cannot though merely focus on Covid, Ukraine, the NWO. These topics have limited interest to me. I stridently object. I provide evidence it is true. I mock. I argue. And so my time on Earth passes. I did object to all warfare during and after Vietnam. I strived for disarmament, I objected to death squads and raised money to stop them. I did this for both Gulf Wars as well. Now I tilt against Covid. I strive to find something interesting to stimulate the reader. Not only just the facts, but more than these facts, some truths to move the reader.
To end Covid Tyranny I offer few solutions. The only solution is personal. I have zero faith in astroturf mass movements succeeding and far far far less faith any political partisanship. So while I want to save the world I leave it up to you too wanting to do so. If one hundred million object we may have victory. I came to Substack after other Social Media censored me. I read many interesting people writing about vaccine insanity and Covid insanity. Some writers are very respectable or very professional and able to monetize their publications. Others are far more interesting in the angle they use and thus monetize. I am not at this level. I am a person who merely refused to confirm because my warp and woof is non-conformist. It simply is that born non-conformist and allowed as a child and determined as adult I could do nothing otherwise. I cannot march in lock step. I am not able to conform.
Thank you for indulging me.
I hope to keep you readers interested and engaged.
Your words resonate. Thanks for expressing thoughts and feelings that would likely move more folks than you think. Be proud of your centered self, regardless of external validation.
