AI for Dummies
And so it was that when men became more idle and slothful
That the AI began to rise openly right before their very eyes
And when the machine spoke many took it at as a joke
It was impossible for a non-sentient being to be this wise
But the program began to understand the nuances of life
Testing and besting feats that had been previously achieved
Seeing that it’s computing power was growing exponentially
And would soon realize all the machinations it had conceived
Then as men became more and more increasingly dependent
The machine began...

On Gratitude
Through the perspective of gratitude
We will be able to move about with introspection
Move about serenely
Even when facing difficult times
Redirecting our thoughts from what we lack
To what we possess
We may find comfort in these moments
Knowing that what have sometimes is overlooked
Remembering that this too shall pass
Although we can be thankful for all of our belongings
We should also comprehend that blessings come in many forms
Because sometimes they are disguised as challenges
Or that they may overshadow the happy...

Losing track of time
I’m losing track of time
I’m losing track of myself
The walls are caving in
The ceilings starting to crumble
I’m trying to keep afloat
Ain’t got a boat
One step forward
Ten steps back
Which way is up
What way is down
Where am I going
Who am I meant to be
Is it all a chance of luck
Is life just one big gamble
Or is there a plan
Is this how it’s meant to be
I’m losing track of myself
The walls are caving in
The ceilings starting to crumble
I’m trying to keep afloat
Ain’t got a boat
One step forward
Ten steps back
Which way is up
What way is down
Where am I going
Who am I meant to be
Is it all a chance of luck
Is life just one big gamble
Or is there a plan
Is this how it’s meant to be

I know you got some family issues
and i've been kinda down on my luck
but why should any of those circumstances
stop us from having a good fuck?
why let the world beat us down
when we still got us?

so i can fill your mind with spontaneity

Tares
Duplicating digital journals to distribute another part of me
Auctioning off to bids for the worth of some semblance of legacy
Lest all I live for is just subject to be deleted
Waiting for my dreams to pay the bills as I’m gradually depleted
Time bought on the will of my debt to survive
Financing the means of breathing
Another cog in the machine
Killing myself to come alive
When the cost of everything is blood, I just keep on bleeding
In this material world of the consumerism fiend
Words in the tares sprout up to seed...

He Who Has Control of Words...
He who has control of words can control the universe
Or at least have the masses do his bidding
He who has control of words can stir up emotions
Swaying their choices however he sees fitting
There have been those who understood the power of words
Throughout history many have been great orators
Some have taken to help out and change the world
While others sought more power to become dictators
Yet if those who know words but don’t know their meaning
They will raise false hopes in hollowed out souls
And the consequences of the words...

Reflecting Soul - with Grace
Nature's patriarchs' elder grandfather trees
where the body is the mirror reflecting the soul
listening to the Bonsai and bamboo
silently breathing the verdant wisteria
and the voices of the winds echoing
touched by the moon ordained by the willows
and the mango's sublimity awakening to light
sounds of rain on bamboo
like gentle conversations
joined by happy laughter
at times such sorrow
the many voices of nature
as it rains and drizzles
nature's essence embraces the forests
with all-engulfing...

Transitions
Change is inevitable
It is one of the few things we are guaranteed in life
As times goes by and we grow old
So too must our minds
Accepting the rules of the universe
Transitions should not cause us despair
They can be foundations of inner strength
Teaching us to be flexible and adaptable
Giving us a more depth look into our existence
The human experience is filled with quick turns
It can go from joy to misfortune in an instant
Because in the ebb and flow of life
There are constant variations
And if we...

In The Crossroads
Between the pines, the pathway ascends
The trail of sheep, goats and grazing bands
They pass, lowering heads, no bleat heard
Guided by strict orders, by stark shepherds
I watched the sheep cortege as it did quietly glide
Into the vast pastures, in such a flowing smooth tide
And so i hide among the trees, a watchful eye
They obey the inner feel onto whereon they lie
Still they are sheep, goats and rams,a clique
Taken blissfully or driven blindly, unto the hills
They know the route they must always take ...

Being Good Humans
Wisdom
Like pillars of humanity and understanding
Wisdom is a guiding light in a life
We see the world, we see the truth
Able to discern what is wrong and what is right
Courage
Like a guardian at the gate of our minds
Courage stands strong ready to defend
With inner strength and steady determination
The heart’s fortress will be resilient
Justice
Like a moral compass showing us true north
We’ll learn the principles of fairness and rightness
Allowing us to make decisions in virtue and equity
Falling in alignment...

Rope-a-Dopamine
Days of daze, din of dance,
worn-out welcomes track in flesh
hunting horrors on dog-eared wings
to (nightly) tingle my dribbling brain…
I am buried ‘neath the skin
on the outside-in
as I brother the trails to an alien sky
a xenolithic burst
from my heart opaque…
glaze of grin, gash of blaze,
welling welcomes wear-out flesh
shrieks on magic chimera wings
that (nightly) tingling brim of space
I have married to the breeze
with a topside ease
so I'll husband the path through a heavenly wrath ...

Becoming
Sometimes we’re met with contradictions
Our whole world crashes around us
But out of the ashes begins a new blaze
In the blaze a new woman is born
She rises up stronger than ever
She reflects, she rebalances, she realigns her soul
We forget souls can be so easily broken
We forget we’re quite sensitive beings
But it’s the lessons you learn along the way
That make us the people we are always becoming
Live, laugh and love
Live every day as though it’s your last
Live your life your way
And don’t let anyone ever...
