A Selfish Heart
Stars observe all the chaos below
Watching human’s hurt one another
Hatred takes root and starts to grow
While pitting sister against brother
Never learning from past mistakes
Gravitating towards great despair
Rushing headlong without brakes
A selfish heart without fruit to bear

Flashing Lights
when the twilight is a fading glow
beacon of life tell a tale of woe
the star is now a distant light
the fading glow signaling night
once strong stark and bold
standing as a sentinel with stories told
of bravery with audacious breath
never minding there lurks death
dances of love rhythmic embrace
not seeing shadows on fragile face
moments not seen, lost and found
thinking love last forever no end
with the zenith of the sun
reaper will make his stand
a smile a wink and a guiding hand ...
beacon of life tell a tale of woe
the star is now a distant light
the fading glow signaling night
once strong stark and bold
standing as a sentinel with stories told
of bravery with audacious breath
never minding there lurks death
dances of love rhythmic embrace
not seeing shadows on fragile face
moments not seen, lost and found
thinking love last forever no end
with the zenith of the sun
reaper will make his stand
a smile a wink and a guiding hand ...

Is Ignorance Always So Bliss? (Collab w/ Vision_of_insanity)
Slithering on their bellies out in old L.A.
Superficial elite’s invade artificial minds
Wilting souls exposed in shades of grey
Contractual red tape is the tie that binds
Throw a few crumpled bills in their face
They eat the bait right off the hook
Executives laugh, as these soulless souls try and compromise
They beg, as their lives are ruined
Heavy scrutiny under a public spotlight
Another fallen angel drowning in disgrace
The hunter is now hunted in such delight
When death arrives wearing a familiar face
Listen...
Superficial elite’s invade artificial minds
Wilting souls exposed in shades of grey
Contractual red tape is the tie that binds
Throw a few crumpled bills in their face
They eat the bait right off the hook
Executives laugh, as these soulless souls try and compromise
They beg, as their lives are ruined
Heavy scrutiny under a public spotlight
Another fallen angel drowning in disgrace
The hunter is now hunted in such delight
When death arrives wearing a familiar face

The Tyranny Of Indifference
We will stamp on you
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...
Till you comply
Don’t complain
We write the rules
Just roll over and die
We own the workhouses
No breaks for you
Shut up and do
Slaves have no say
Forget fairness
It’s a fascist regime
Wear the patch
Take the beatings
You’re the reason
Everything has gone wrong
You are not human
Don’t deserve thought
It’s our leash
We pull it
You choke to the command
Strain what strain
You are weak
It don’t matter if you snap ...

Look At Me
Here I am for all to see
My story in glory, look at me
Social net, their many sites
Camera, action, phones bright lights
My world, my soul, here is my wall
Random friends, I give you it all
Never met, request and send
Latest fads, following trends
Timeline, pic, vid upload
Public, flick, watch, unfold
So here I am for all to see
A web celeb... I'm yours for free
My story in glory, look at me
Social net, their many sites
Camera, action, phones bright lights
My world, my soul, here is my wall
Random friends, I give you it all
Never met, request and send
Latest fads, following trends
Timeline, pic, vid upload
Public, flick, watch, unfold
So here I am for all to see
A web celeb... I'm yours for free

Unlock A New Point Of View
Ignorance is bliss amongst the arrogant
Always coloring outside the proper lines
Seems every person has a different slant
Beautiful flowers covered by thorny vines
Never assume in a world painted with lies
It only complicates what seems to be real
Dark clouds cluster along pale blue skies
Peaceful hearts pray for all wounds to heal
Time is a prisoner to orchestrated violence
Watching as love struggles to break through
A writers words guiding lost souls in silence
Always eager to unlock a new point of view
...

Time is a prisoner to orchestrated violence
Watching as love struggles to break through

Repeat Offender
Pessimistic fool by nature or so it seems
Always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Past the double talk and random schemes
Still unable to make all this madness stop
Change is inevitable it’s a product of time
Careless actions leading to another bender
Found guilty but never committed a crime
A social stigma spawning a repeat offender
Always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Past the double talk and random schemes
Still unable to make all this madness stop
Change is inevitable it’s a product of time
Careless actions leading to another bender
Found guilty but never committed a crime
A social stigma spawning a repeat offender

Inspired by You
the songs of the wild his doorsteps
reigns within his own kingdom
holding his sceptre and the crown
worn invisible on flowing locks
companion on the sandy shore
waves incessantly crashing
gentle zephyr on his brow
walks with me on poetic moonlit stroll
Quiet but always there
friend and stay in times of woe
phone calls across continents
curator of my scribbles
a caring hello...telepathic touch
of a kindred spirit
lift his aloneness a little
the smile on his lips linger longer
to all...
reigns within his own kingdom
holding his sceptre and the crown
worn invisible on flowing locks
companion on the sandy shore
waves incessantly crashing
gentle zephyr on his brow
walks with me on poetic moonlit stroll
Quiet but always there
friend and stay in times of woe
phone calls across continents
curator of my scribbles
a caring hello...telepathic touch
of a kindred spirit
lift his aloneness a little
the smile on his lips linger longer
to all...

Dark World Within
a fate indescribable in a world in ruins
silence echoes where laughter once peals
grey skies over chaos remnants
in slumbering sleep the world that was
in cities of wandering ghosts
shrouded in clouds and memories
lost as in roads overgrown
nature return in its natural claims
Vibrant gardens replaced by despair
birds song now brittle in decay
seeds of discontent sowed in pathment cracks
roving around without feathers
the night is pierced by no stars
not aglow within ashes
whispers in a world reborn ...
silence echoes where laughter once peals
grey skies over chaos remnants
in slumbering sleep the world that was
in cities of wandering ghosts
shrouded in clouds and memories
lost as in roads overgrown
nature return in its natural claims
Vibrant gardens replaced by despair
birds song now brittle in decay
seeds of discontent sowed in pathment cracks
roving around without feathers
the night is pierced by no stars
not aglow within ashes
whispers in a world reborn ...

The Negative side of Ai.
In google, i typed : AI generated poetry, and here what came.
uncountable websites of AI generated poetry with so many options,
and so i chose the first one that came on top of my search.
https://deepai.org/chat/what-is-ai
--I typed A Life of Rhyme, and all the world poetry fell down on me. the following are just example....
A Life of Rhyme
In gardens where the wildflowers sway,
A whispering wind beckons each day.
With laughter like sunlight, bright and warm,
Life dances around in a joyful form.
Each morning...

Sometimes....
..a caring voice is all that matters
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you
chatter about whatever...just close the distance...
.....someone needs to hear from you

The Floating Rock
Perception
Perception shapes the way we see the world
It influences our actions, plans, and decisions
It can assist in building the moral compass
Understanding it creates synergy and cohesion
But a misaligned perception will create chaos
And misunderstanding and miscommunication
It can slowly chip away at the core of empathy
Eliminating any chance for joint collaboration
Reflection
Reflection measures our actions and their results
An important profound look inward when we pause
Like an evaluation...
