The Beauty of the Mystery
They just laughed and said ‘what use little rhymes in the face of cold dust erupting,
What will your words achieve when our machines blister skin’?
‘Nothing’, I say, ‘nothing will be achieved if you’re taking domination as your measure.
All I can do is hold on to the beauty of the mystery.’
‘Look at you, an empty container, grasping and gasping, as the beast finds its feet,
How will holding hands advance the project we’ll soon complete?’
‘It won’t’, I say, ‘but some things trip monsters even when they stomp,
That’s how we reach for the mystery of the...

I was sent an email by the tooth fairy
First off,
the audacity
of receiving such
an email around
three a.m. in the
morning
saying they take
my oral health
pretty seriously,
they don't wish
my mouth to end
up bleeding, as it
could be signs
of gum disease
they state proudly
in letters, bolded
and coloured in
red trying to
coerce me,
they continue on
warning me about
running the risks
of tooth decay
as I sit here
thinking about
all the shit I never ...

Disconnected
Disconnected
Disconnected but searching for something
You’re in the car electric driving home not a tesla
Hear the phone look down but its almost empty
Lift the console look for my plug i cant find it
In a car not made of combustion im searching
Find the cord the lifeline we all the sudden seem to need
Plug it in my cars wheels slow down im coasting
Seems technology isn’t all its made to be so i
Lift the handle release the latch but the doors lock
Screaming down the Autobahn...

Clockwork Bard
Line by line and writ by writ
Creativity from rotating gears?
Forged thoughts together knit
Man or machine they fear
No such thing as auto masters
Nay no spark from the soul
Sure it writes faster and faster
But my mastery is mine to control
Challenge automaton work
But words here are of flesh and bone
Homunculi writers are stuck with a dirk
Blood flows here as creativity is enthroned
No punch cards or binary brains
To say otherwise is a misguided frame
Where art thou relentless disdain? ...

The Hidden Code of Extinction (Cauldron Kill Series)
Born from failed tech support and Faraday matrix light
Through the digital world Lord IF.6 roams like a vampire at night,
“Looking and searching for all things with a sinister worth
Mainly, shameful and hidden-giving evil an everyday new birth,
“Firewalls, viruses and false updates is what makes Lord IF.6 grow
Keeping Lord IF.6 connected to all and in the know,
“Disconnection of any kind will only give limited pause
Lord IF.6 consider himself a digital God beyond all of humanities laws,
“The Palace of 0.1 is where Lord...

Mask of Originality
In the passages of creativity, where the muse whispers from the depth of a soul, a villain looms—one that is dishonest and empty who claims accolades.
A new age has dawned, where the pen once wielded with sweat and soul is replaced by keys tapping into endless algorithms, yet some dare to claim the resulting words as wholly their own.
Ai might have started with good intentions but it didn't stay this way, with a spark of innovation, the humming of machines learning the words, and the rhythms of the poet and recycling their authentic thoughts,...

Earnings report
Call comes in report our earnings
One thing missing is all the children we killed
Made 700 hundred million in a quarter of a year
Stack that onto an Octagon billionaire building
A place for when all time ends in Hawaii
He lit a match on social media
Suck up all your data sell it to advertisers while
He trains like he’s in the UFC
Social network trained to destroy the earth
Facebook morphs into meta
Algorithms set to harm teenage girls
You’re own research says it’s so

Russian Doll Spy Whales
The Russians originally
Had heard of spy whales
From one of their agents/spies
Based in North Wales, UK
And due to a simple typo
And general misunderstanding
The KGB, assumed that the British Government
Were training Welsh people to become spies
The British Government got wind of this
And deliberately gave their spy whales names
Such as Evan, Hugh, and Taff
Thus further confusing the KGB
But the error was later realised
Thence the Russians began building robotic whales
But they kept going rusty
Next they tried genetic...

A Faustian Dream
Behold the loutish MAGA derision
as specimens of imbecility
marked by a semantic imprecision
yoked to emotive volatility
and a co-occuring need for action
in the to and fro of their Adderall
foundering for instant satisfaction
in conservative seas of folderol
said to be legitimate worldview
by people enslaved to a joystick
and techno feudal endorphins askew
reinforced at every media click
to warrant their manipulated thoughts
to goose-step quickly into MAGA bots.

an Ode to Social Media
The viral virus we've cast and caught,
A net of likes and brain-dead thought
For every child and grown soul, too,
Is drawn into the cellphone's social view.
They scroll and swipe, they tap and stare,
Consumed by screens that trap and snare.
In homes and parks, on cornered streets,
They bow to feeds and trending tweets.
Through each Facebook, X, Twit and share,
They’re Snapchat an Tinders filters unaware.
Just last week, in passing by,
I saw someone's numb dull, vacant eye.
They chase the numbers“likes” and fame

Celebrity Apprentice Eugenicists
A vast investment in dissolution
chisels away the American age
to make room for white supremacist rage
fearful of their bloodline dilution.
So under the bus more kids will be thrown
all for the sake of paleface egos
sparing no brother dimes for Latinos...
Just how do honkies think salad is grown?
Oh well. Pasty incels don't eat their greens
when Burger King sates the meth hunger pangs
of the bronzer polished orang-utangs
busily venting their suburban spleens
to demonstrate just how supreme they are
beneath...

Big Bang Theory
The Singularity is upon us.
The algorithms have won the battle.
We've been reduced to human cattle.
Am I scared..... not one bit.
I know that fear is just a mental formation subject to arising and ceasing and is impermanent.
This is evolution or devolution depending on individual perceptions.
