if every brain were hooked up to an A.I database; if one could see into the soul of another(in good will) literally upon meeting face to face;
from insecurities, pain, passion etc....what would play in one's mind from day to day.... would "humankind" be in a better head space? would pinned up frustrations, judgement and heartache fade away?
probably yes and no....maybe it'd be just as counterproductive as it is today despite one's ability to more or less "effectively" communicate.... ...

Green Reaper
I’m the Reaper, mama.
I won’t shout, I won’t argue.
I won’t ask why cause I do not care.
I’m just there in the corner, always.
That dark corner of your world
That you never knew existed,
Or pretended not to know for your sanity’s sake.
I listen, and then some.
I scoff a little at times, maybe cop a smirk every now and then.
But mostly laugh at your stupidity.
And boy are you stupid!
I’m the Reaper, mama.
Better watch out.
If you can with your narrow sight, that is.
You never know when I unceremoniously come. And...

The Mounties have nothing on Kate Middleton when it comes to getting their man!

proposals of marriage: Will’s very

Casualties of Avarice
Fragments of contempt
Undulating as reverence
Defining our lives
O’ recreant parlour
Where the echelon secures their tenure
Lining their pockets
Succinct rapacity
Seething is the blood of innocence
stomping unto war
Laughing are the ancients
Leading our young to the slaughter
The callow
fixate
on the falsehoods
spewed by the liars
The misguided align
Consuming the lines
Absorbing their crimes
And when the dust settles
We are left
with nothing but
casualties

Locus Amoenus
Fair damsel eye, though you be ephemerist
your hot blood for her won't let you deny

by your helpless eye...
wandering always as it forever will
It saves the heart when it skips a lusty beat
in contemplation of her as your thrill
on a satin sheet...
for there would be candid perspiration there,
of an inalienable desire...
for her to breathe as well the very air
you can both admire.

Thoughts and Prayers
Once again our children are dying
and their parents are crying
Murdered in school
with an AR-15 being the usual tool
The GOP has zero solutions
about how to protect our educational institutions
As long as they get money from the NRA
for them it's another profitable day
About this issue none of them cares
and all they can offer are hollow-Thoughts and Prayers

Thanks for the year supply
It's been fun
What's another word for speculative?

But only in the medical industry
I purge my system
synapses slowly sparking
Neural pathways rerouting....

Clinical exams
Clinical trial study basis
Speculation & assumption

Prescription addictions are free

Who's The Dummy
I know who I am, do you?
With yesterday's memories,
common sense cannot be bought.
Hello, goodbye, get up and go to sleep,
whatever.
Sunshine, rain, twilight nightfall,
dew made in Heaven.
Dream, epiphany,
when it could have been a rose.
Now follow my own dream,
where destiny takes me,
in my own glass slipper.
Based on the book, a better tomorrow
and not someone's grand scheme.
Now, who's the dummy?
With yesterday's memories,
common sense cannot be bought.
Hello, goodbye, get up and go to sleep,
whatever.
Sunshine, rain, twilight nightfall,
dew made in Heaven.
Dream, epiphany,
when it could have been a rose.
Now follow my own dream,
where destiny takes me,
in my own glass slipper.
Based on the book, a better tomorrow
and not someone's grand scheme.
Now, who's the dummy?

I Just Called To Say I Love You
Getting out of the shower
Making sure, within an hour
Before the makeup
A lacy thong to softly caress my lover's cup
Vera Wang stilettos on my feet
My eyes to New York traffic my patience will greet
I wish you this beautiful song, whereas, in life we must all cope
For knowing today is filled with prayers to try and hope
The month of April is almost upon us
So, I will be making a plead to your mind, without a fuss
To do your bi-lateral mammogram
In the shower, where you lay, or in front of the mirror as you stand
I just...

Chosen by God to be King! Which deity was that: Yahweh, Christ or Allah? And precisely when?
By Stanley Collymore
For crying out loud the
British government
and the churches
in the UK: those who're installed
in them and have any genuinely
rather reasonable semblance of
intelligence, or a normally basic
concept of responsibility, surely
that is, must know that there is
basically no place either in the
just, or acknowledged modern
world, for a literally antiquated
monarchical elitist corporation
and to be crucially, condoning
this, so evidently, hypocritical
circus is undoubtedly...

Tame
In black and white
In a society where nobody is tamed,
Everyone is wild.
And the dogs have proven it once and again that.
Where freedoms are curtailed,
There's bitterness.
There's societies in my society,
And in the upper society no one is tamed.
So everyone is wild.
Like lions,
Like hyenas,
Like bats,
They do whatever they want in the light and in the dark.
Talk of them slapping or shooting innocent Kenyans.
Talk of them vanishing billions into thin air.
Talk of dams,
Funded, but cconstructed...
