Thanks for writing! I finished transcribing your post. I love your writing! I can feel your passion and see that the poem uses rhythm as both a theme and structure to worship your beloved. It's evident you are magnetically drawn to her, and you really capture her beauty! Thank you for sharing!
Dymitri, American seems to thrive in "jumping-on" behavior. Whatever behavior is addressed a sort of "mob mentality" takes over and groupthink becomes the status quo. Social Media has exacerbated the problem by giving a forum by which polarized people can either shut up or risk the trolls themselves turning on them and swatting them like a gnat. Heaven forbid someone say, "Enough." There is a German word for taking enjoyment in seeing the suffering of others. When it is the very rich that is being scrutinized somehow the bar of evidence is lowered and the crowd will extract their vengeance, a pound for a pound, a tooth for a tooth. Four years is a punishment, that much is certain. Whether it is justice? Well, I can't rightly say. But when a jury says so, we must trust the system. No? Such is the dilemma of every incarcerated man or woman. Many a song has been written about injustice. Has any changed what is? Can't we all just be friends? No?
Hello Mr Wilkes. Entertaining post. It does indeed sound like misery to endure the conditions you've described. I'm sorry for you and all others who suffer this unnecessary torture.
I do wonder though, how it is that one's "messiness" causes you sleep deprivation. That sounds like a different sort of pet peeve?
Hello knucklehead. I say that with a smile, no meanness is intended. I am now following multiple bloggers here. I feel yours are among the best if not the best. It doesn't matter if I agree with everything you say, I appreciate that you say it well, are often entertaining, and you make some of us think in ways perhaps we are not so accustomed to. Now I have what I hope you will consider good news, sir. I searched your name, of course there is the usual flood of negativity associated with most individuals convicted of crimes in the United States. But there is much more as well. Now I give you the news: according to
Bloggers.feedspot.com/prison_blogs/
you have been named the top prison based blogger in the country or perhaps the world. It is hard to tell from the list but it ranks between the bars as the number 5 prison blog in the world, I believe, and below that is a list of the top bloggers, no numbers shown but you are on the list below roughly 6 or 7 other names, all of which appear to be free people associated with the sites themselves. Yours is the first name on the list with the label of "contributor". So I think this is congratulations, Dymitri. We'll done. Please keep it up.

Thanks for writing! I finished the transcription for your post.
Great post and I agree with you, sentencing has gone wild and everything is out of proportion now.
Four years is a long time, especially considering you're cut off from society, living with the constant prison "music", left to the whims of the few "guarding" over you. I really wouldn't want to spend that much time in a concrete room the size of a parking space with someone I don't know (or have get to know in ways you don't want to).
Is the whole legal system corrupt? Obviously, yes. And so it is everywhere. What do you propose, to somehow run your entire court transcripts through chatgpt or grok to see if it agrees with your assessment? That may not prove as much as you hope. Ai can be set to be quite accommodating to a user, such that no others are likely to credit its conclusions. Perhaps you could put your information into an ArgueBot of some sort (there are many) and see if one may side with you on the bigger issue even while playing devil's advocate.
I made one small correction to the original transcription, I hope you don't mind. "Trails" became "trials", as I believe you intended it. Many of these observations are amusing and insightful and match what others have told me about being jailed. Some I wonder quite what you meant, eg the idea that someone who has killed others may also cry over his pet spider being killed. I am trying to read as many posts as I can, so perhaps I will return to yours soon. There are many thousands here to see.

But yes, equal misery is also equality, right?
Again thanks!
