Recently, I was asked if I pronounced the word 'neither' as 'nahyther' or 'neether'. And I thought - since 'eight' is pronounced as 'ay-ght', why not pronounce 'neither' as 'nayther'?
Before you leave, please give me a chance to blow your mind. Just - prepare a towel to pick up all the - the mind-shards that will be on the floor after this. The purpose of this passage is to expound on the reason as to why Nayther is the new Reverse Slavery.
You see, the roots of this philosophy extend their tentacles into the Magisterial Empires of the past. Noble pricks such as Columbus landed their fleets, at that time, on external territories like America and Africa, and consequently wrecked the natives they encountered, subjecting them to slavery and exploitation. The racist, discriminatory nature of the whites back then made them deem themselves superior to the darker-skinned, as 'exotic' as tanning was. And then fast forward a few hundred years, where now any mentions of modern slavery are met with distinct horror and exclamation marks on the internet.
Basically, the slave-loving phenomenon turned back on itself - society experienced initial acceptance, then gradual revelations, then outright repudiation. Slavery - before, ubiquitously unquestioned; now universally unacceptable. As goes for Nayther.
As mentioned, Nayther was derived from the ancestral glorification of the Eight-speech, meaning Neither was once pronounced Nayther. What else could the tribes have based their diction on? Eight was a well-adulated number, since it had five letters, as did the word Three, and Three always meant the confirmation of the Illuminati. Tribes were always on about the Eye.
Unfortunately for them, sophistication crept into their villages and tore their dignity from their mud houses; pompous English men stole the word. "I've neether showered nor consummated," they'd hear the aristocrats say, to which they'd furrow their brows, trembling with infuriation at the mispronunciation of Nayther. Blasphemy!, they'd think, Sacrilege!
Still, one cannot deny the persistence of the Whites. They maliciously, insidiously eradicated the cultural beauty of Nayther. It was poignant and stellar, but they thought Knee-ther was more so, and perhaps even Nigh-ther. Bullshit, I say!
To the blindness and ignorance of the general public, secret Nayther cults have formed over the past century, and have scattered themselves across the globe; they work surreptitiously and fiercely to exact vengeance, to achieve the return of their word, to achieve what they coin as the phenomenon of Reverse Slavery. Turning something unacceptable, into something unquestioned.
Today, with my most uncouth exposure of the Nayther secret cult sproutations - or, more specifically, the Nayther Intelligence Pseudonymous Societies (N.I.P.S) - I face the precipice of torturous bosom-clamps - and yet still stand for the fighting against Nii-ther, and Neye-ther, and for the public rallying for Nayther - a contemporary reform, a modern uprising, a new Reverse Slavery.
This collection of pieces you are about to read... has nothing to do with Nayther, unfortunately. I apologise for having potentially exploited your innocence. However, I will still conform to society's and N.I.P.S' standards and do as most Wattpad poets do - create a 'book' with a seemingly profound and thought-provoking title, and then chuck in unrelated poetry in lower case... Lovely!
Nayther is the new Reverse Slavery... really moves the hearts of you plebeians, does it not? It touches me, emotionally. And sexually. Please cringe minimally, relish the irony, and enjoy the rest of this dustbin novel!
