How was the king defeated?

Oh, that's an easy one. He grew to believe he was invulnerable.

But he wasn't? Even though nobody ever captured his castle?

That's right. As soon as he stepped out of the impregnable building—

Uh oh. But why was he so silly?

Bedtime now, sweetie. I'll tell you how I #convinced him some other day.

Can’t you just be nice.
Do we have to fight.
Can’t you be kind.
Must you be right.
.
Sarcastic put downs.
Unkind words.
Constant cruelty.
That no one deserved.
.
Attacking all love,
to make you feel strong.
Crushing compassion.
Constantly wrong.
.
Streams of mean words.
Mutters complaints.
The vocab of hate.
you constantly paint.
.
I wish you could change.
But you just never have.
Angry and resentment.
From vicious and bad.
.
Your cruel toxic biles,
all anyones heard.
The strongest of curses:
To receive your deserves.
.
Still I’m more sad than you know,
convinced cut you out of my life.
But I have to protect my
Children and wife.

There was something odd about death.
He'd always thought that, and asked
Himself why machines could be forever
Repaired but not humans. He thinks of
The day she convinced him to work on
Something that might repair her, broken as
She was. Such was her shattered beauty
He hadn't been able to resist, and had
Worked all hours. She'd tried it on
Once, this wonder machine, and never
Taken it off. It killed her there and then,
And now she looks younger than ever.

For a moment there I wasn't #convinced
of my own reality. Unstable
and unable to coalesce. Like breath.
Like breath fogging a mirror. You listened.
Smiled a little slant. Breathed my name into
that mirror fog. Wrote your own with the tip
of your finger. Bound us and freed us both.
You reached through, gently rewrote my heart's pulse,
gave something back I'd forgotten I'd lost.

The actions to #DamarHamlin
Were a horrific sight
And anyone who has a heart
Is shell shocked by last night
He got up, stumbled for a second
Then on his back fell down
They did CPR and he was
Taken to the hospital in town
The referees were forced to
Treat it as a stop to play
But teams refused and walked out
No more would be done that day
While he's in limbo rules state
Teams must be ready to roll
If they force that then I'm #convinced
The NFL lacks a soul

I used to be convinced of many things.

Then I discovered that most of the things I was convinced of were just concepts.

Now, I seek no vain conclusions.

Convinced of nothing,
sitting in meditation;
mountains and rivers
like rolling waves on the sea.
Lotus unfolds, satori.

The evidence made sense, I was convinced of it.

My partner and I had been to the scene. Methodically, we had labelled each of the suspicious elements. A tumbler on a coffee table, still with a finger of whiskey in it. An empty shell case lay next to the couch, the powered residue still evident. In the kitchen, the scene was quite horrific.

I needed to be able to compartmentalise what I saw, otherwise I would go insane. Many officers cannot do this and I'd lost a lot of good colleagues to the job. This was the lot of every police officer, and something the public has never really understood. We keep the streets safe, but at what cost?

The police prosecutor had compiled a dossier of our evidence, and after weeks of investigation and tying up every loose end to ensure we got a conviction the case was ready to proceed. It was a heinous case, but unfortunately not an uncommon story.

I was beginning to fray around the edges, the job and this particular case were taking their toll. The flashbacks and vivid nightmares were like a reel repeating in my head. Night sweats and panic attacks were the norm now, with the intensity increasing. I had to get out, but I needed to see this through.

The trial had been long and arduous with the victims needing to relive the trauma. I had grown close to the family, and felt every wave of emotion.

After long deliberations, the jury returned with their verdict.

"We find the defendant....."

Awestruck

Light dances before my eyes
A kaleidoscope of raucous colour
Cavorting
Flashing in my retinas
Reforming my brain waves
Therapy
Convince me, I whisper
Show me beauty
Let my awe reframe
My damaged brain
Convince me, I plead
That beauty walks this earth
Tired souls and warm hearts
In strong hands
Convince me, I beg
That one day I can be so
And take my place
Among lights and hands
And hearts
To light up the world

#Convinced by my own delusion
Created in the midst of The Confusion
I demanded them to believe, what I state
Conflate reality with my illusion

But there came some, crying foul
“This man tells lies!” they howl
And so I attacked with hate
Made my followers beat their jowls

No matter how much they berate
Shame to me is foreign
So I will foment and instigate
Until you accept my naked reign

If you defy the belief in my lie, you will die

I'm convinced that I'm not alone
In this dark and eerie home
I hear footsteps in the hall
I see shadows on the wall

The moonlight filters through the window
Casting an eerie glow on the scene
I am convinced that I am not safe
In this haunted, nightmarish dream

I was convinced that I would never make it through the night
But somehow, dawn arrived and the darkness receded
Leaving me shaken but alive.

Wasn't convinced.
Belt cinched
Brain rinsed
But no prince.
Words not minced
#MAGA evinced
#Trump chinced
Covered in quince
Vince
Was never #convinced.

Dressed up in character and roaming the fantasy con Vince did know that outside the venue he had a conventional life. Only he could not remember where he had left the according costume.
