Chancers – 15th July 2026

~ shaun tenzenmen 
Hate is fun and truth is boring
The double-think tanks are rolling
The winners are always scoring
 to maintain social controlling

To hear is not as to listen
Words twist being misunderstood
Making a new world to christen
 that denigrates the greater good

Hate now truth so fun is boring
The doublespeak presses rolling
Spread the fires that have been storing
 the hatred of past extolling

Let’s start to listen more than hear
All problems are found with answers
Let’s not make this hate a career
 and so become the last chancers

Today’s Daily Stoic poem:

Doing The Right Thing Is Enough

Doing the right thing
Doesn’t need a return
Doing the right thing
Is all there is to learn

  2. Great poem, Shaun! “Let’s start to listen more than hear” really resonated with me today. I’m currently trying to practice some of that daily Stoicism while waiting for these loud carpet cleaners to finally finish up my house. Thanks for the thoughtful read!

    1. Thanks Jeanie 🙏 Sometimes I try to find the music in loud consistent noises such as vacuum cleaners and if something like that annoys or distracts me I like to dive deeper into that feeling, knowing that when it stops the relief will be so much more enjoyable. I do enjoy suffering more than most though!

      Writing these Daily Stoic poems has been a reminder to me to keep practising my own self-improvement.
