a kiwi named Jacinda Ardern
we can’t continue to sit here in silence
and pretend that we don’t feel the luminescence
you radiate on us
we’ve been breathing in impurities
day after day
night after night
until you came to our rescue
with the freshness of your words
tenderly lining our souls
your smile wraps us in warm blankets of love
transcending anything we’ve ever felt
we could see the pain in your eyes
but its light is extinguishing the darkness of this world
and how from your solitary corner
you...
and pretend that we don’t feel the luminescence
you radiate on us
we’ve been breathing in impurities
day after day
night after night
until you came to our rescue
with the freshness of your words
tenderly lining our souls
your smile wraps us in warm blankets of love
transcending anything we’ve ever felt
we could see the pain in your eyes
but its light is extinguishing the darkness of this world
and how from your solitary corner

To follow the dream
it gets harder and harder"
time to bestow our beauty
time to rinse off the rage
which keeps us trapped
in some convoluted cage
contaminated with chaotic confusion
drowning in delusions and doubt
no one hearing the silent shouts
for help as we run around
hopelessly surrounding
ourselves with lies and
a low sense of self
levelling our health
wishing for wealth
as death creeps
so stealthily
unheard, unseen
like when the machines
take Control as they've already
begun to...

I like one crime from ' good friends.
You have my assistant as the light, I went to my wife's , she she will be my father, and he will be able to communicate!
They are not impossible to do it, but not all.
When this happens, you don't miss my mom from ' sometimes, and sometimes? Bold Phoebe.

Youthful skin once tawny bright
Muscled back once stright and strong
Now doughy white soft as new made bread

Planted Knowledge
Some people are on the streets because they are disgusted with the system
A system that continually uses their brains and abilities to maintain the status quo
They've given the rest of society their ass and requested that we kiss them
For getting on our knees like whores and bowing to a god that we truly don't know
They watch from their post as we silently obeys
Not realizing that we're doing what the man behind the king says
Not only sacrificing ourselves but also our first born
Without anyone taking the time to mend a rift, that was long ago torn ...

I Wonder
We are all that ever was and ever will be
Magical creatures of infinity
Star dust from eons ago
Growing...Living...Dying
Our conscious selves may cease to end
but our physical selves
and their impressions upon living,
transform into the ingredients of the future
Is it all just a quick glimpse?
Is humanity but a station for us to stop on this cosmic ride
to see how we've been doing thus far and where we're going?
Just checking up on things... on ourselves
The daily self reflection?
Utilizing ourselves for never ending...

Inner drama
This fleshy vehicle is floating furiously..
Drifting slow through the inner infinities.
"The essential inner drama"
My soul syncs up with that eternal phenomenon..
Pumped up, primordial passions..
Woke up in a universal fashion.
Laws of reality evaporate,
to elusive to elaborate clearly..
As the galactic Glory nears me.
Some call it God
Some create their own deity..
Beyond labels and ideas
There's only the mystery..
Here we stand on this land
Pretending to understand..
Roaming in a strange realm ...
Drifting slow through the inner infinities.

All in my head
Do you ever just
observe your own psyche
and come across
some super fucked up
inner dialogue?
it can be disturbing sometimes..
these strange thoughts..
ugly thoughts..
straight up
hauntingly horrendous..
that shit can be traumatizing,
to watch a series of
unscripted, unwanted and unholy incisions of vividly dark visions
in this deranged dimension..
I'm left with the decision
to either respond with
radical rationalizations to find reasoning
or
I can recognize that
in reality
it's all in...

A species so self aware..
this species you better beware
their behavior
tends to scare..
cruel carelessness is what they share
with other forms of being and beauty..
is this our duty?
to fuck the whole world up
without giving a shit?
I'd have to admit I don't like it a bit
the way we
don't throw a fit over
this disaster..
this decay..
the fields of green Glory fading away..
not trying to be pessimistic but
luckily we aren't here to stay.
That's not to say
I hate any of us or
wish we all...

Kernel Version Unknown .10
Every night for as long as I can remember I would scan the infobhan for images, vintage images, of humans having sex. I found a comfort in it, I don't know why. Remnants of an antiquated system of reproduction, messy and unhygienic. Humans would link their bodies through genitals situated at the lower half of their bodies. The male penis would enter and through a series of penetrating movements he would ejaculate a substance teaming with gametes, the process then formed a zygote and there began organic life.
I found it elicited a feeling in me, a feeling no one else I knew of...

A Little Levity and more
Painting by numbers always started with one, when I got to you I knew I was done
....screech.....stop right there...... remember I told you stop the cheesy rhyme...no you didn't...well I meant to
Humour has a way about things
lifting weights off our troubles
even if only for a moment in time
a relief, a comfort to alleviate pain
it borders on lunacy, I'm clearly insane
Man helping man in an hour of need
throwing fear to the wayside as well as his greed
Don't ever give up hope
as she sits on a shelf way up high ...
