Cyber Warfare
Upon my graduation from MIT, they didn’t hand me a diploma. They handed me a mask— and a seat at the table of shadows. They called me Director, but in truth, I became a ghost in the wires— a puppeteer of perception, twisting public minds like wind turns leaves. We didn’t drop bombs. We dropped whispers— tweets, headlines, a viral meme. We knew the frequency of...

Is this immoral to you or am I just too excited?
JULY 2023 Hazy, Rampant, Hammering Foggy-headed, I must be lazy enough to put just the right effort in. It drips down and stains the pore.

And anywho, isn't this against your...

Lake of Blue
JANUARY 2024 Hello, person. My person, who bathes and drifts in the steaming lake of blue And chirps a melody of solitude While strumming the oak guitar for the blaze. Hello to you-- If you want to hear my thoughts. My person, whose eyes bleed of the weeping willow's dye, Who holds the warmth of the stars in their skin, Who holds the wisps...

Can I find the words to say, just what you mean to me today And what you’ve meant to me, throughout these forty years gone by We first met at that meet n greet, a low brick wall became our seat And then you seemed to find me sweet and my heart skipped a beat We lived so many...

Premium Member In the depths of silence, where sounds fade into echoes of longing
