There are a few, and some have been put in there to dirty the water, for all.

muddy the waters
Confuse the issue, as in Bringing up one irrelevant fact after another, he succeeded in muddying the waters. This metaphoric expression, alluding to making a pond or stream turbid by stirring up mud from the bottom, was first recorded in 1837.

It is important to create a space of ethical conduct for you which is your boundary, in that will you be your best, when you look at the world you will see it within the drawn line of boundary and no more

Google Translate tells me this is Dutch.
If the Conspiracies Where Are

?? If there are conspiracies, where are they ??
How do they hide the conspiracies?

Wouldn't have been the first title that sprang to mind...

A Muddy Head ?

Yes, I see what you are saying with muddy head. That is one reason why I like it as it looks like mud man, an image made in mud, which would have been an image made by early wo:man

I enjoyed your poem:

To think was ok but not too much
Stay focused on you and your kin
That is what the system wants
For if you cross this line in the sand
And think of the other as you
Then power will shift in collective strength
This would trouble those who currently hold the reigns
Of power, it is true, and real. The system wants not
That you are in it together as brothers as sisters against those who care not

How does this seeing the world as a collective caring/non-caring mechanism fit with your seemingly self-set boundary above?

if conspiracies are true.
Seems to make a difference if you use lower case rather than capitals

Right. In dutch the sentence is not as loaded/corrupted as the English. When you go to the trouble of translating it (with all possible faults) the reception is different. It communicates itself another way, it goes in at a different angle. You own it, you have done the work, it is yours.
