Want
I wanna perfect body
I wanna perfect mind
I wanna perfect world
But nature ain't inclined.

the worst cure
The worst of cures
He had bought a flat in a new apartment bloc still not ready for the buyers, but since it was Sunday, he drove to the building to have a look risky surgery and worried he might live long enough to move into his new home in time
A lift had been installed took it up to the seventh floor, flat looked roomy although it had no floor or windows there was a terrace without railing on the terrace he took in the view, could see the bay and the ocean, the sun warmed his face
Suddenly, he burped, had a blob of something foul in his mouth which spat out in...

incalculable price tag...
it blows my mind
how offended y'all are
at my being "woke"
it does beg the question though
& I gotta know...
how does it feel to be owned...?

demo crew on standby
grandpa was a master builder
building with an eye for expansion
for growth & adaptation
to support many generations
none of those short-sighted greed-blinded mansions
20 rooms for one dude
he was a man for every season
& I paid attention
as current events expose a rotten foundation
I'm reminded of his philosophy
when the integrity of a structure
is no longer sound
tear it down
don't leave it standing
causing further dangers
pay attention to the issues
& don't repeat them
construct it...

the debate
he French Debate in English
The program was about the power of alternative media such as X and Facebook
A woman from the EU said those programs
Can be banned, by the stroke of a pen
What arrogance, to ban people of Europe not
To see what the alternative media say
Be practicing censorship
The EU is after Elon Musk for what was considered an interference in the upcoming
German election of AtD.
It is what the voters in Germany like to vote for
EU wants to stop voices they dislike, which is tantamount to dictatorship

These Days - A Collaboration With WillowsWhimsies
Where are the real souls
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity
Unafraid to be themselves
Scarred and raw with honest words
Why are hands more often open
Than hearts and minds
More willing to take than share
What happened to unapologetic truth
Finding joy in less than more
Opening windows rather than closing doors
Who said it was okay
To make emotions unavailable
In the name of not getting hurt
I’d give my next heartbeat
To receive true sincerity
But it seems these days that’s a rarity

Greedy Bastard
Can you not just be content.....
Content in this moment......
No need to experience anything new.
You have it all.
Right here,right now.
You're the lucky one.
But the saddest one.
Awake in your future.
Asleep in your NOW.
Does the sky ask for more?
Content in this moment......
No need to experience anything new.
You have it all.
Right here,right now.
You're the lucky one.
But the saddest one.
Awake in your future.
Asleep in your NOW.
Does the sky ask for more?

Lust
We melted into thick fog
Hand in hand
Watching the moon
Slowly rise and wane
Eyes fixed on each other
Spinning our web
Of selfish lust
Desiring to be fed
Unaware our creation
Was a poisonous parasite
And would slowly eat away
Until our desire would die
Hand in hand
Watching the moon
Slowly rise and wane
Eyes fixed on each other
Spinning our web
Of selfish lust
Desiring to be fed
Unaware our creation
Was a poisonous parasite
And would slowly eat away
Until our desire would die

Dark's Psychosis
Torrents of insanity, narcissistic schizophrenia
in the dark's psychosis of self-destruction, now
all turn to shit because they know who I am,
another rambling fool without gage in a river
of bones, with shoes filled with stones, lost
and forgotten, devoured of soul in the mind's
chaos, like a pale horse in the dark's psychosis
preoccupied with, "The House that Jack Built."

Catching the First Bus Out of Town
Philosophers are philosophers to ask
unanswerable questions
and then ask why
the questions are unanswerable.
the world turns,
and circles the sun
time tockingly advances,
all life moves from beginning to end,
it is only the mind of man
that is stationary
and rooted to this time and place,
forever doomed to repeat
the mistakes they will make tomorrow.

Center Stage
Veiled arsenal, twilight dark deliverance
of narcissistic primate flying monkeys
within their circle's weakest link, low
the esteem of inherently weak vessels
taking center stage, in life's drama
wearing a mask in a veiled arsenal
of twilight dark deliverance
of narcissistic primate flying monkeys
within their circle's weakest link, low
the esteem of inherently weak vessels
taking center stage, in life's drama
wearing a mask in a veiled arsenal
of twilight dark deliverance
