Life in opposite directions
A poem about transgender acceptance
What is it like,
For two people,
To live in opposite directions?
When at birth,
Their sexes,
One male,
One female,
Reflected not who they are,
But what they are.
Over the course of their lives,
They came to realize,
Their sexes reflected
Not their gender,
But their prison.
Thus,
As time moved forward,
They kept their inner self,
Locked away,
From everyone,
Even themselves.
After several years,
Of internal isolation,
They found someone like themself,
In an opposite direction.
Only through meeting each other,
Did they realize,
Their opposite directions,
Led them in the same direction,
Towards inner acceptance.

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.
