Welcome to, Efra Crea. I'm Efra Guerrero, a Photographer and Poet. I have written a collection of modern haiku exploring the beautiful and ridiculous contradictions of contemporary life.

Governments promise freedom.
Corporations sell identity.
Religions sell "certainty".
Algorithms sell distraction.

The poems don't offer answers.

They simply point.

The rest is up to you.

Authorized thinking is what happens when people stop asking questions and start outsourcing their minds.

Instead of weighing the evidence for themselves, they accept an idea because it came from someone with a title, a uniform, a pulpit, a government office, or the media. The authority becomes the proof.

It's a convenient shortcut. Thinking is hard. Obedience is easy.

Governments use it. The media uses it. Religions have perfected it. They all encourage the same habit:

trust us, not your own eyes.

The danger isn't authority itself. The danger is when authority becomes immune to skepticism.
