The trek fraught with trials, a series of tests,
to refine, to strengthen.
Allies emerge, from the depths of the data dust matrix,
kindred spirits wishing they were vegetables or fruits.
But enemies, too, make their presence known,
lurking, seeking to disrupt, to control by fear and loathing.
The gatekeepers of the old little father paradigm,
the forces of entropy, the agents of chaos,
the algorithms of oppression, choke a cola.

"The price of freedom is eternal vigilance,"3
against those who would seek to limit, to contain, to enslave.
The struggle for liberation, a constant tribetable battle,
fought on the battleground of narrative jousting.
