The bandit

The clock keeps ticking

for I'm standing in one spot

moving the hands.

⏳⌛️⏳

But if I stop now

Seconds, minutes, hours, days...

Can they be redeemed?

Prejudice Is a Shortcut the Soul Takes When It’s Afraid
Prejudice is not wisdom. It is not instinct. It is not truth trying to protect itself. * Prejudice is fear wearing confidence.

For Freelance Writers, Content Farms Aren’t a Thing of the Past
I’ve been a professional writer since the very early 2000’s (as in January of 2000). I moved to full-time freelancing in October of 2010, and part of what kept me afloat was writing for content farms. If you’re not sure what a content farm is, rather than giving you an online explanation, I want to tell you what I know of them.
