so much dust
gathers in our mind
each passing day
wipe the mirror clean
and sit...just sit...

nihilism, pessimism and buddhism
The nihilists are correct,
the universe is too big to care about you, individually,
and might become an anaconda that will eat you and your entire family,
or a world-killer meteor that could destroy the whole of the earth and all of its gods.
The pessimists are correct,
society is a cycle of less and more harsh oppression,
and authority will use any reason, reasoning, non-reasoning and sophistry to maintain itself.
However, after all this,
we are here anyway,
so working together to alleviate suffering and promote joy is...

To Zen and back
I came back to tell you
life is much easier without words,
without the impulse to turn everything into language,
limiting what things can be
and what you can feel.

The absolute value of material wealth
Your accumulated wealth
is the greatest sign of your karma...
the karma that got you that wealth,
and the karma you get to distribute through others.

The Past Imperfect, 2
What you were doing does not have to be who you are.
The past Imperfect is how you were acting,
but that karma does not have to endure.
Changing ourselves is harder than a diamond,
which is what you become when you accept
that all pasts are imperfect.
The aim of this change is the present perfect,
which we might never achieve,
but through our wholesome transitions,
we can learn to alleviate avoidable suffering
for others and ourselves.

The Past Imperfect
We do not have to be what we were being.
We do not have to do what we were doing.
We all have the past imperfect,
in which our actions were interrupted,
changed from corrupted and detrimental
back to wholesome and beneficial for everyone.

Psychodelical
If you are running from something,
that thing will chase you.
If you are approaching something,
that thing will embrace you.

Gentle Elephants
I could not extinguish my ego,
so I attached it to altruism,
and if you abuse kindness,
I will trample you like a herd of stampeding elephants.

Did AI Write This Poem
No,
it did not,
but how would you know?
AI can do all the things
we wish it could not,
such as write poetry,
academic essays,
and computer languages.
