Online ads on new devices Lure its prey with “Better Prices!” Name-brands play the role of giver Just so...

Premium Member Floating
Floating away from worldly chaos My mind engages with the stars Consumed with emotion at earthly pathos Humanity hurts with so many scars. Endless wars inflicted on innocent Famine endured, where is the rain? Pandemic and masks we were vigilant Global problems with endless pain. A stolen moment where peace did reign Earthly matters did not exist All was calm there was no disdain It was...

Premium Member One Day I Dreamed
One day I dreamed … There was no longer any 'Third World', Just a united 'First', Famine clearly vanquished forever, And no-one died of thirst. Power was never used to enslave, And wars were fought no more, Man's resources were pooled together, To help aid all the poor. Man respected his fellow creatures, Living in harmony, The oceans free from all pollution; Helped by 'green' energy. People...
