My Body Is My FriendI stare timidly into the softly lit mirror,
Its gaze staring back at me unrecognizable.
I've been told this person is my friend,
But its reflection paints a different picture.
Its mixture mixes a mess of colors I never thought go together anyway.
A bit ghostly.
I trace its outline carefully -
A bump here, a dent there, extra padding everywhere -
So...

What We All WantMy thoughts drift away to a time where
children played in the streets,
and lemonade stands stood on the corner
in the heat of day,
and ice cream trucks could play their gleeful tunes
that brought children running,
and running children were happy,
and happy didn't mean wealthy,
and the wealthy didn't rule the world.
And everyone's word was considered by...

Future Modern SocietyFuture Modern Society
Future modern new society. Where is it? This exists, just invisible yet
Sometimes the development of possible and expected events is hindered
by negative factors
We are late, and the life of our planet is slowly running out. We are destroyers
We dig...

Circle The WagonsWhen the cold winds blow
And the hostile natives are restless
It’s time to wake up, smell the coffee
And cut your losses.
What is there to push back on, after all,
But the bitter taste
Of someone else’s resentment;
The mighty wind of their off-gassing.
The world is wild and cruel
Even within the treacherous smile of neighbors
When dog eats dog possesses...

But it all disappears, is destroyed, is forgotten. Time is a killer

Ding Dong
Have we erased the line
Between right and wrong
Have we fused the line
Between short and long
Have we jumped the line
Between ping and pong
Have we drawn the line
Between weak and strong
Have we crossed the line
I don’t know the difference
Between right and wrong
I don’t know the difference
Between short and long
I don’t know the difference
Between ping and pong
I don’t...

A Call For HumilityI don't think about Tr*** often
I don't like to
My guess is a third of you
are at this time
ticked
triggered
troubled
torn
turned off
or
tickled
Avery few feel that
tripled in spades
And the rest have buckled up
in a mingled mess of
confusion
curiosity
or careless concern
Take your pick
Only the most humble
learn their lessons anyway,
and earn a table
at the hearts of the yearning
We're...

Memento on the Moon
The Sea of Tranquility gives rise to a parasitic plague,
Colonizing mechanical machines grinding,
Robotic arms frantically fabricating an inhospitable habitat.
Plumes of blackened smoke drift off into zero gravity—
A profuse profanity birthing intergalactic implosions.
Forfeited steel domes replace a once-pristine satellite,
Whilst humanity, like vultures, journeys to...

The VoiceThey say "use your voice"
But when I did, they turned away.
They say, "just listen"
But never asked what I'd say.
They urged, "spread the word"
But never considered what they were spreading....

When They See HerWhen they look at her,
They don’t know what she’s going through,
And they don’t know how close she is to breaking.
When they judge her,
They don’t know that she already hates herself,
And they don’t know that she’d give anything to change.
When they laugh at her,
They don’t know that she just wants to be loved,
And they don’t know...

Ask WithinSeeking Answers from within,
Staring into its reflection,
The projection of my eyes,
Creating what's lying inside,
So that I can enjoy this ride,
As I slide down into you,
Riding along sharing my view,
Excited to see what you do,
With the body you built for me,
Evolving through Adaptability,
Trusting when you couldn't see,
Everything was meant to be,
The good bad and ugly,
All a...

Dawn of DeliriumFreedom ~ an inked kingdom
of macabre mirrors,
a vermiform lie
veiling the vehement suffering
amidst serpent estuaries,
surging within strangled skin,
as if I am the living sin,
jinxed by the crawling creatures
in the lamented labyrinth
of deceitful dreams,
inhaling venomous vapors
rising from the cursed creeks
that failed to caress
the brittle bones of delirious dawn,
where the nocturnal owl
sits, phasing stellar phantoms
on tattered twigs,
oblivious to...

Please NO AI
My heart cries no, no, please no AI -
my brain gets cramps, I can hear it sigh.
My fears shiver and my soul does cry.
All AI feels wicked and viscous,
bound to erase potential in us.
No more striving to accomplish much -
we'll be ghosts of our past human touch.
In such a world, I would not belong.
Wrong is...
