Wine! (A piece of #stoetry)

Like a Knight's Templar 

who locked himself in the Pope's wine cellar.

At first he had no clue as to where he was.

Until he realized he was on the floor.

Apparently he was literally floored.

Could there be clues in his head?

The word was coined by Chaucer

who looked for a word to describe

the ball that was made of Ariadne's thread

and found it in the Dutch word 'kluwen'.

But that was not the clue he was looking for.

He remembered going down some stairs

to look for...something...

Ah, yes...wine!

Wealth: hard work, fraud or luck?

'Andrew Tate became rich solely by working hard!'

People who state that apparently think that choosing wealthy parents is hard work,

that stealing money with ponzi schemes is hard work and becoming popular by not being ashamed of being a misogynist, homophobic, rude jerk is really hard work..

The only period in his life Andrew Tate (click) actually díd work for money was when he was a kickboxer. Until he decided making 'only' $100,000 per fight was not enough to maintain his shallow lifestyle with expensive cars, clothes and drinks and even more expensive women, he decided to become a pimp and to run a whorehouse. Well, he became a 'manager' for ladies with a webcam in their bedrooms. Meaning they did all the work and the only 'work' he did was calling his accountant to count his percentage.

This 'tough guy' got seriously owned by a young lady:

Truth is: had Andrew Tate been born in the 1800's, in Yemen or from a less fortunate father, the world would never have heard from him. 

If only because he would not have had the means or possibility to rob insecure men of their money by starting an online 'academy'(click), teaching jerks like himself to make money with fake social media accounts, ponzi schemes and other ways 'to show the world you're a real man!'.

There's one actual valuable lesson Andrew Tate didn't* teach the tens of thousands of insecure men around the world who paid him millions a month to learn how to be 'a real man':

A real man doesn't need to prove to the world or himself that he is.

 *He and this brother got arrested (click) for human trafficking. Apparently it's not allowed to abduct women, beat and rape them and force them to into prostitution.

What do you think constitutes 'a real man'?

Merge (a #poem or #ShortStory. #Stoetry?))

There's a woman 

standing on the bridge. 

She mumbles to herself 

and occasionally 

shouts to the world. 

When you try to start a conversation 

she won't hear you. 

She lives in a world of her own.

Is it my world that is real 

or is it hers?

What if our worlds should merge?
