I don't hate billionaires, but I can't stand hoarders. I don't despise the people that died, and I damn sure don't think it's funny the way they went. Especially the one man who manipulated his son into risking his life because evidently the idea of exploration and colonization of the ocean was more important than the fucking life of his own son.
Imagine serving dinner to the very person who played a part in your mother's death. That's the raw and intense scenario John S. Blake, also known as Black Fluid Poet, brings to life in this gripping episode. John navigates through a whirlwind of emotions, from the heartbreak of losing his mother to the stark contrasts between the wealthy and the struggling.
He doesn't shy away from discussing how billionaires and hospital board members live in luxury while everyday people fight for basic healthcare. It's a story that highlights the brutal realities of poverty and the glaring disparities in wealth. Through his poignant storytelling, John urges us to reflect on our own lives, to love ourselves more deeply, and to hold our loved ones closer.
This episode isn't just about sharing pain; it's about finding hope and resilience in the face of adversity. John's call for support and his journey towards overcoming poverty add an inspiring touch, making this episode a must-listen for anyone seeking a heartfelt and thought-provoking experience.
