It was great speaking with Patrice Rostón, her energy and warmth is infectious. Please follow her on Instagram: @patriceroston or Follow The Connoisseur Panda on Twitter: @connoisseurpan.

House Of Flimsy Cards

The world is a deck of playing cards
Mixed and shuffled with jokers and kings. An ace in the hole, a jack of all trades, have carefully positioned this deluxe pyramid.

It rises and soars, it’s colours abound
impressive was babel before the fall.
The clubs are at the bottom supporting the diamonds,
The Spades seem content
in their affluent position.
I enter my townhouse
they enter their palace
can hardly afford my Kia
they are on their 3rd or 4th Lexus.

The spades are controlled by the Queen
she has them by her bra strings
and tells them what to do.

Mr Finkelman woke up and realized he was in hell.
How did he there? What were the signs, and could he warn his friends and family before it’s too late?

Season 2, Episode 11

Welcome to the Season 2 finale. Take a moment, pat yourself on the back and reflect on your journey. Hopefully these episodes made you think and question reality.
As an Earthling you are constantly growing in your self awareness at least I hope you are. One of the goals of this show is to foster a healthy curiosity, to challenge are thinking and deepen our understanding of what it means to be human.

Despite the current trend of dividing humanity into skin colour, ethnicity and cultural lines this show attempts to display the universal truth that we are one species created by a Divine Architect.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.”

Thank you for taking the time with me to explore these truths.
Sometimes we don’t want to hear the truth, but it’s always good medicine.

What’s Next

I have pre recorded a spin-off show called, The Mothership. This show goes behind the curtains of Poetic Earthlings so you can see the creative process at work.

Look around you, the world is not as it seems. Everything is connected by a single thread. Sometimes we go down rabbit holes and lose are purpose, other times we find lucky charms along the way.

I met a white dude on the bus reading a book about African slavery, I felt uncomfortable but not for the reasons you may think.

He found himself in the middle of hell. Bullets ricocheted, bombs exploded but there was a voice on the other side of reality desperately trying to get his attention.

Season 2, Episode 7

When I was younger I thought about joining the Canadian Military, the noble task of protecting the country and exporting Canadian values around the world was enticing.

The closest I came to wearing the uniform was when my best friend joined Air Cadets.
My two or three day stay was spent being barked at by the drill instructor and forced to do push-ups, I suck at push-ups.

Sometimes we could have a romantic or an ideologistic view of the Military, perhaps it’s just me. But after quitting Air Cadets in less than a week it confirms that I’m not military material.

Aiden’s Escape

Aiden’s Escape

Published 8 January 2021

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 12:55 — 17.8MB)

Aiden’s community was surrounded by four glass walls. No one imagined a universe outside of the confinements. His people’s two year lifespan consisted of procreation and survival. Aiden wanted to go beyond his limits, his only hope is to breach the wall.

Season 2, Episode 6

Do you feel that your life is one continuous maze with dead ends and detours? Social media is all about displaying our strengths and not our weaknesses. Aiden’s Escape will go beyond the walls to see how we’re manipulated and controlled.

There was a time when government officials and people in authority were respected, we took their word as the gospel and pledged our allegiance.

However, in this current time our vanguards of truth have went astray, not just the politicians but the media as well.

Is humanity under a microscope, controlled and tested by the corporate elites?
I’m not a conspiracy theorist, sometimes I like to stir the pot and ask questions.

It is healthy to questions things, to be critical but not a cynic. Challenging are basic beliefs and assumptions sharpens the mind.
When we forfeit are tools of reasoning we hold are mental doors open and accept every half-baked theory that flutters by.

Hillside Crosses, Bonus Episode

Hillside Crosses, Bonus Episode

Published 30 December 2020

Podcast: Play in new window | Download (Duration: 24:59 — 34.4MB)

This is a story of a modern day Mr. Scrooge. He was haunted by his former employees that hung from the Hillside Crosses.

Mr. Bender, a Senior Vice President at a major medical supply company, made it standard practice to fire as many employees as H.R. would allow before the end of the year as a cost-saving
measure.

His goal was to cut just enough
employees to save money, but not so many that production suffered. Every December, it was the same: fire and count the savings.

And each year, he was getting more and more efficient at his “corporate game” until one day, his game changed thanks to an old wooden cross and the grace of an
employee he once mercilessly fired.
