It’s hard to imagine
how there were the Thuggee
in India who strangled people to death
seemingly without any guilt,
supposedly for the goddess Kali.
They are thought to have killed
up to 30,000 people,
strangling them all to death
and stealing their money and goods.
I supposed they covered up any guilt
with the excuse they were killing people
as offerings to their imagined god
instead of purely for murder
and for theft.

Quomodo cogis comas tuas sic videri?
79, cancer survivor, work out 3 times a week, ride my exercise bike 2 hours daily. Began writing poetry October 2023, living in Greensboro, North Carolina, originally from just outside of Boston, MA.
Retired and enjoying a solo, reclusive life always researching and gaining knowledge. Most of my poems are fictional.
I write about many things: Spirituality, Mysticism, the Paranormal, Cryptids, Werewolves, Ghosts, 411s, Nature, Birds, Animals, Romantic Love, Death, NDEs, Women Persecuted as Witches, Fictional Characters I Create, News Stories, AI, Robots, Insects, like the poem entitled, Hail Caesar Bob, (about when bees were swarming me outside the door to my apartment), and many other topics. I write a minimum of 3 poems daily, sometimes more.
