Social Commentary:  What I want to say

What I want to say I can not. Because no matter what the Constitution provides, I’m not a “true” citizen of these United States. It even says so briefly within the document that we hold so dear that I’m only a partial of a being, with partial rights, and partial opinions.
I can not voice the true inner words because that would only classify me, mold me, and shape me into the animal that I’m preconceived …

Social Commentary:  Whips & Chains – The burden of chains

Chains.  Chains, metal link contraptions typically made of metal that are used to transfer power or constraining / securing power.  Chains have been a great addition to the industrial revolution and have become interwoven into the fabric of industrialized nations.  Without chains great bridges could not be built, huge weights could not be lifted, mechanical devices used to transport products and people could not function, and of course industrialized slavery would have been proven slightly more difficult without them.

Social Commentary:  Whips & Chains – Subjugation via whips

Whips have a long history that is botched in blood and enslavement. Used to subjugate animals and men alike. A weapon of metal intimidation and extreme agony and pain.
The one who stands over the subservient individual who has fallen prey to the pain inflicted by the whip feels a sense of 'god-like' power of emotional, mental, and physical control over the slave of the whip. A feeling that the weapon is an extension of …
