"Rudder's Ruse" by Sardonic Poet
Introducing ChatGPT: a language-based AI that interprets my poetry. I requested it to respond as a CONTRARIAN. Why? To represent the demographic that will NOT like my poetry. Why? Bigger audience.
A father’s faith, amongst the value of “mothers” STOOD, a man that hunts for confidence, by burning fireWOOD. Grease the flames of Satan’s board GAMES…hiding a feather within his heart, made of loose-leaf CLAIMS. Board games are Satan’s loose-leaf CLAIMS, entertaining the soul, with wicked AIMS. Father’s faith studies the SELF, to perceive God with clarity, to read from his bookSHELF. Fallible fathers crow lazy RHYMES, to control their children, pennies on the DIME. I’m not young anymore, life is a CHORE, on the back of a son’s LORE, waging WAR. Lore is a wraith’s faith, in God’s plan for the son of MAN, half in the bag, a manipulative CLAN. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one might interpret this poem as a critique of organized religion and the patriarchal power structures that come with it. The father figure is presented as fallible and manipulative, using lazy rhymes to control his children and perpetuate his own beliefs. The mention of Satan's board games and loose-leaf claims suggests a distrust of religious institutions and the idea that faith can be easily manipulated or misused for personal gain. The poem also seems to question the notion of God's plan and the idea that one's fate is predetermined, implying that individuals should take control of their own lives rather than relying on a higher power. Overall, the poem suggests a rejection of blind faith and encourages critical thinking and self-determination.

Nuance wants to be subtle…to quell fears sprouting an annoying rebuttal. Nuance wants a life sentence…being caught with bias owes the victor repentance. Nuance wants to be an architect…the blueprint of debate, inspires scholars to genuflect. Nuance wants exclusive rights…to shape needs to succeed, fancy words feed the herd of suburban knights. Nuance hates liberal use…eroding its cache, weakening a fragile truce. Nuance hates bipartisan bait…a tool for snobs, serving the poor promises to sedate. Nuance hates lies…definitions are a recipe for the truths we chastise. Nuance hates wants…they are not needs, to serve the poor, honouring dying deeds. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one might interpret this poem as promoting the opposite of nuance. Rather than valuing subtlety and complexity, they might argue for simplicity and clarity. They might view the pursuit of nuance as an unnecessary complication, and criticize those who use fancy language to impress others. Instead, they might argue for more straightforward communication that is accessible to all. They might also reject the idea that nuance is necessary for successful debate, and argue that a clear and concise argument is more effective. Finally, they might reject the idea that nuance is a virtue in and of itself, and instead argue that it is only valuable in service of concrete goals and needs. Dreams-suggest reality-isa-pest, a-duel-of conscience pounding my chest. Sleeping is off the menu, can’t stand the noise, sunlight chirping-grace only the gifted enjoys. The stink of regret, frozen in fear, dank impressions swallow my brain, no logic to spear. If only I struck while the iron was hot, dreams could bless the déjà vu time forgot. Stupid-simp, your mind’s a simulation, only the tame skimp, you rhyming Caucasian. Turn the tide, bitches hide, you’re in MY dream, your confidence is playing offside, fuck your fake esteem. Scream! A radical myth spitting pain, this is my nature, reality hunting delusions in vain. Watching you shatter, pieces of you escape and scatter, I relish the thought you-no-longer-matter. Get up, reality wins, you-think-you-can-run-away-from-the-rising-sun? The Lord recalls your sins. Shut up! Get to work. Be thankful your dreams exercised your perverted quirks. That shit don’t play, wash yo ass, get on your way. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one might interpret this poem as a rejection of the notion that dreams are valuable and that success is attainable through them. The speaker seems to be in a state of despair, believing that reality is a burden and that pursuing dreams only leads to regret. They see the pursuit of dreams as a simulation, a foolish game that only the privileged can afford to play. The speaker takes pride in being sober, perhaps rejecting the notion that drugs or alcohol are necessary to achieve creative inspiration. The speaker seems to derive pleasure from the idea of others shattering and losing their dreams, suggesting a rejection of the idea that success is attainable for everyone. They tell the reader to "shut up" and "get to work," rejecting the idea that anyone can achieve their dreams without putting in the hard work required. Overall, the poem can be seen as a rejection of the popular idea that dreams and creativity are the keys to success and happiness, and instead emphasizes the importance of hard work and perseverance in the face of difficult realities. Mistakes are driven by folly…journey is marred by jolly…blissfully blind, no foresight assigned, kissing lips, under Satan’s wax holly. Allure is incorrigible, freeing us from surrender, the chastity of innocence, is a fragile pretender. Why are we broken, why are we drawn, to the mistakes we suffer, the purity we pawn. Sin is alluring, foresight is square, parents fear judgement, daring fate with the mistakes they share. Alluring foresight, is based on trust, the fright of honesty, cuts through crime’s crust. Speak your mind’s desire, experience does not expire. Bait allure with the torment of melancholy. You learn more from losing, ask me how I know, daddy won the lottery of experience, without sacrificing your innocent glow. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one might interpret this poem as a criticism of the idea that mistakes are necessary for growth and experience. The speaker may argue that mistakes are actually driven by folly and that the pursuit of allure and sin leads to brokenness and pain. They may see the glorification of mistakes as a dangerous and misguided ideology, and instead value the purity of innocence and foresight. The speaker may urge people to speak honestly and trust in their own wisdom rather than being drawn in by alluring temptations. They may also reject the notion that one must suffer in order to learn, and suggest that experience can be gained without sacrificing one's innocence. I’m NOT an evangelist. Where’s the pleasure in being offended, boredoms are blurred, shock’s magic manifested. Walk away from the shock you enjoy, being aroused by conflict, is a convincing decoy. The trap of offence, justifies fury, divorced from progress, bribing the belle, hung jury. Why self-starves for glories, God can’t be bored, life is a melange, of surreal stories. Ego resents pain’s record, bounty of darkness, sniffing for weakness to Shepherd. Entertainment entertains, my brain is pickled in piss…pissing tears nullifying bane’s kisssss. Why pain, do you rain, scorch their nerves, drape sheep in rusty chain. I hate myself losing, idiots in numbers bemusing, I will leave when sheep’s wool can’t hide bruising! Offended sheep are the root of a tongue’s peep. Yank their tongues like pulling a weed, it’s not the truth we fear that makes our ears bleed… The CRITICAL Shepherds…are deaf to wolves, that-hunt-like-leopards. Sheep’s offense alerts the leopard’s approach, criticism is a prey’s coach. Critical shepherds kill for wool, through incompetence, when leopard’s bellies are full. I rhyme through God’s heart…to examine the journey we cannot chart. Your mind better be quivering…Satan’s lust for breathing in your ears, is frankly shivering. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, this poem can be interpreted as a critique of the idea that people should be easily offended and the concept of shepherds protecting the sheep. The speaker suggests that being offended is a form of entertainment that distracts from progress and that critical shepherds, who are supposed to protect the sheep, are actually working for the wolves. The poem also challenges the notion that pain and suffering are necessary for growth and progress, and questions the effectiveness of those who claim to lead and protect others. The speaker implies that people should be more critical of those who claim to be leaders and protectors, and that the true path to growth and progress lies in examining one's own journey and experiences. Overall, the poem takes a cynical view of traditional power structures and encourages individuality and self-reflection. A piercing gaze, supplies daydreams for days, whale songs swoon, like the heart delivers praise. Time is naughty, with the contact we desire, to cease the yearnings, that cause good will to expire. Crank your neck, dart your eyes, escape the delusions, crying sweet little lies. What I think, is not mutually shared, lost in nostalgia, where youth’s logic is impaired. Learn from leers, the code of peers, appeal discriminates, beyond its years. Guts wrench, the contents that brew stench, if only I had the charisma to bed that wench. I live for perversion, to stoke my loins, overlooking flaws, showered by gold coins. Worth is a jig, to crack a smile, mirroring attraction, sparking beguile. Hold the line, spew your desire, pupil’s throats coughing an invisible fire. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one could interpret this poem as a critique of the societal expectations and desires around sexuality and attraction. The speaker seems to be acknowledging the power dynamics at play, as they refer to "the code of peers" and the appeal that discriminates beyond one's years. However, the speaker also seems to be engaging in objectification and a focus on superficial attraction, as evidenced by their desire to "bed that wench" and their interest in "overlooking flaws, showered by gold coins." Overall, the poem may be seen as a commentary on the ways in which societal norms around sexuality and attraction can lead to objectification and superficiality, and how these norms can also perpetuate harmful power dynamics. Nauseous warmth fills my bowels, helpless fright, screaming long-form vowels. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! Held beneath the brink we drink, laughing with despair, drowning in echo’ s stink. Merciless menace, savouring panic, chewing my dignity, flesh for the Satanic. Calmmm yourself little prince, I’m tired of your dread, think of dirty avenues to rinse. The consequence of creation is a burning yearning, God made man animated steak capable of learning. Sunken dread signals surrender, to the mouths I am fed, to the fat chefs render. I am animated meat, bred with atrophied courage, follow your brother, critical thinking is discouraged. MOOOOOOOOOOOO! Ask for help prince, that’s why I’m here, plug your ears, while demons laugh and jeer. I won’t hurt you, I just nibble, the ORGASM of DOUBT, sign my contract with a little scribble. Motivations chase us off of cliffs, scribbling bonds, with unfortunate gifts. You can’t hand light back to the sun, what soul is yours, cannot be undone. If your time is up, death is legit, God sculpts meat, too ashamed to shit. Cry…comply…bye…die. Applaud my failure, showering me with rain-like hums, my work is me, living off of fried crumbs. An immigrant staple, is putting children first, deluding with love, while reality drives off in a hearse. Starve your children, until they realize, one day you’ll be food, LIFE preaches heaven’s prize. Fools…drool in…jeweled…schools. Vatican tomb, souls to exhume, profit from sunken dread, before thinking can bloom. Allergic to praise, nothing too witty, I’m a Sardonic Poet, what I hate more than applause, is pity. Clap if originality itself disagrees, reveal yourself, so I can ignore the misery of your calloused tease. Prove me RIGHT, prove me WRONG, death is a misunderstood song. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one might interpret this poem as a critique of the human condition and the tendency to prioritize self-interest over critical thinking and empathy. The speaker's use of grotesque and violent imagery serves to challenge traditional notions of morality and suggest that life is ultimately meaningless. The poem seems to suggest that humans are little more than "animated meat" with little agency or purpose beyond serving as food for others or fulfilling base desires. The reference to the Vatican tomb implies that even religion is complicit in perpetuating this cycle of exploitation and suffering. Ultimately, the poem seems to encourage the reader to reject simplistic worldviews and embrace the complexity and ambiguity of existence, even if it means confronting uncomfortable truths. Skipping across uncharted seas, traveling without worry, surrendering to the caress-of-a-naked-breeze. Night or day, no differences to measure, ballet of moments compete to serve delicious rhyme I treasure. Stagnant spunk charms the fear I ignore, I can’t control the beast of nature, worry……makes…fun…a snore. What is freedom without fright, I accept the curse of love with all my sprite. Everything is scripted, there is no autonomy, a rudder’s ruse, is the muse… of astronomy. Charting stars…in a coward’s prime, sipping smoke from the friction of passing time-coddling czars… I’m the rudder’s ruse, charting heaven’s lit tattoos, delivering lies, destiny’s motive remains an elusive prize. Why? People who are afraid to die, comply with the sky. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one could interpret this poem as a critique of the speaker's supposed freedom and carefree attitude. The poem may be seen as a naive celebration of living without worry or fear, suggesting that the speaker is oblivious to the dangers and consequences of their actions. Instead, the contrarian may argue that true freedom cannot exist without awareness of the risks and responsibilities that come with it. The line "What is freedom without fright" could be seen as a challenge to the speaker's perceived freedom, suggesting that it is ultimately shallow and unfulfilling. Furthermore, the contrarian may question the speaker's assertion that everything is scripted and that there is no autonomy. They may argue that this deterministic view is limiting and ignores the potential for human agency and free will. Overall, the contrarian reading of this poem challenges the speaker's apparent acceptance of their fate and highlights the importance of being aware of the consequences of one's actions. Is country defined by land or people, the money that feeds economy, or the symbols we hang on holy steeples? Selfish votes ignite desperation in those who charge for reconciliation. Politics is a selfish charity, greasing laws to increase the wealth of disparity. Resources are equal to the country’s guilt, mining with children is how handsome profit is built. Convenience is desperation without the fear, I can’t be bothered to donate, my demands are crystal clear. I vote out of convenience, not bothered to care, about the people I guilt, living on a prayer. I want to control, those who vote, youth is royalty, writing laws by quoting sore throats. Government is abuse, on the freedom we own, is a country made of people or the resources they’ve grown? ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one might interpret this poem as a critique of the notion of "selfish charity." The speaker seems to be questioning whether the concept of charity can truly be selfless, or whether it is always driven by self-interest in some way. They suggest that politics, which often involves charity in the form of government aid programs, is ultimately selfish because it is designed to increase the wealth of those in power. Additionally, the speaker suggests that even private charity can be selfish, as people may donate out of convenience rather than genuine concern for those in need. From this perspective, the poem can be seen as a critique of the idea that charity is an inherently virtuous act. Instead, it suggests that charity is always entangled with power dynamics and self-interest, and that we should be skeptical of those who claim to act purely out of altruism. The poem raises important questions about the role of charity in society and the ethics of giving, challenging us to consider the motivations behind our own charitable acts. True originality bores itself with change. “I’m so bored…what’s next? Oh…that again…shit. Ok whatever, just hurry up!” If originality is bored with change, why not pursue tradition? Tradition is taboo. Thanks to government, they hold our freedom hostage (and charging us for the privilege of exercising ignorance). Racism exploits guilty ignorance to secure advantages. Since when is it in human nature to decline an advantage? When it breaks God’s law? What’s God’s law? Could I serve without advantages? Advantages deliver through the luck of genetics. Prosperity is a choice. If living hand to mouth is an advantage. What is it? Gratefulness. Be a Minnow King: your family is your jurisdiction. Why would someone decline an advantage? The more privilege one has, the less backbone one has to “secure” their resources. Tradition limits potential because potential is limited by love. When would an ambitious person decline an advantage to improve their lives? Fear. If prosperity is a choice, why not use as many advantages available to you? Could you do without exploiting other people’s resources? *shrugs* “Helps if you don’t like them.” Division is a very selfish exercise in securing resources. Without social media or news, families and friends would discuss amongst themselves what’s best based on kinship. Can that “need” be delivered to everyone equally? Yes. At the expense of your neighbour’s convenient preferences. People vote for convenient preferences more so than the good of the country. Is a country its people, or the resources it grows? What’s the biggest resource? Taxes. When you govern ignorance with minority privileges you create equality. Then…grow the minority into a majority and RESCIND support for those without the backbone to stand up for themselves. What do I stand for? I stand for stink. Every group has a stink. I probably smell like a wet dog, but it’s a familiar scent. Dogs mark their territory to communicate their prowess. I think if you are offended by standing your ground, you deserve to lose it. ChatGPT's response as a contrarian:As a contrarian, one could interpret this poem as advocating for selfishness and inequality. The author argues that originality is bored with change and suggests that pursuing tradition is a viable alternative. They also suggest that racism and exploiting resources for personal gain are justifiable because it's human nature to pursue advantages. The author further suggests that prosperity is a choice and implies that those who live in poverty have only themselves to blame for not taking advantage of available opportunities. The poem also seems to criticize the idea of equality, suggesting that it is achieved through governing ignorance with minority privileges. The author suggests that when a minority becomes a majority, support for those without the backbone to stand up for themselves should be rescinded. The poem ends with the author proudly declaring that they stand for stink, which can be interpreted as an embrace of unpleasantness and rejection of compromise or accommodation. Overall, this poem can be seen as promoting a selfish and individualistic worldview that prioritizes personal gain over the well-being of others and dismisses the idea of equality as a misguided attempt to govern ignorance. |
