Premium MemberIn 50 Long Years Gone Fast

My husband is in many ways the opposite of me.
Were he to make a left turn along a route, I’d go right inevitably.

Astrologically, he’s emotional (double water) but I’m a stable triple earth.
He rarely laughs, not even at a comic’s show, while I enjoy mirth.

As time went on, I realized he really was a nut.

Premium MemberWe, the generation of '50

We, the generation of '50,
Time-travelers with stardust in our hair, with memories planted in pockets,
Rooted in decades embraced by change, souls adorned with the dawn of the post-war world.
We spun on the carousel of the '50s, enveloped in the unrestrained laughter of childhood,
The '50s-'60s found us weaving red carnations into crowns for the dolls of

Jack 50

You might have the verbal to talk the talk
Do you have the talent to back the walk

Doesn’t matter if you have a massive crew
When the bell rings, there’s nothing they can do

Sizing up your opponent, are they prepared
Looking full of confidence, or just plain scared

Look them straight in the eyes
Is it them or you who

50

"For 49 years", I said to myself, "I've been such a lucky star.
Although time has passed, who knew I'd make it this far?"
I've made some bad decisions and accomplished many good things;
And I can hardly wait to see what the future brings.
Fifty has arrived now. It's time for a brand new page:
I know it's only

50 Years Almost

I can hear her choking back tears, soft silent sobs echo through the phone as she tells me
“If he were still alive, we’d have been married 50 years today”
I sat there in silence on the other end of the phone, not knowing what to say back
How do you come up with words to say, a

In 50 Years' Time

In 50 years' time…



Someone asked me, “How would you like to see the world in 50 years?”
My mind instantly went - AI, technology, infrastructure and space,
but then I gave it a second thought  and imagined,
How about a greener, more peaceful and kinder place?

 
A world without fights and wars,
so much more peaceful and calm.

Man 50 Child

A 50 year old

Child not Man

Sent out into

The big wide world

All on his lonesome 

Shouldn't have really 

In 

Reality though been

Without parental

Or

Carers prior consent

Because although yes

He may well in fact be 50

He hasn't actually ever

Been or allowed

To grow up

And therefore why  

He is still to today 

Technically

A

Man - Child

Goes without saying

50 Years Since Vietnam

You remember the mud blood and mosquitos
And the Agent Orange brought back as a memento
In your jungle greens at Vung Tau
Nui Dat  memories won’t fade even now

Picked out of the lottery for National Service each one
Taken by the Vung Tau ferry or Qantas your Vietnam service begun
Each soldier on their tour in sacrifice for

Premium MemberChapter 50 -- Damian Delilah Mallory: the Family Seventeen

Year  August 2039

Molly started contractions about 
40 minutes before Dolly they
Were both rushed to the
Hospital in separate ambulances
There was a family Gathering 
with both families at the
Hospital. This was a momentous 
Event unlike the other births.
Quads and Triplets at the same
Time. At the end of the day 
Only two babies were born one
From each

Premium MemberAttack of the 50 Ft Woman Movie

When I was six-years-young
The attack of the fifty-foot woman was born.
I saw the signs, of course, but could not imagine
Why anyone would be afraid of a fifty-foot woman
having no concept of how women behave sometimes.

I do not believe I saw the movie until I was twelve.
It was terrifying and terrorizing, and I was terrified.
The woman

Bitcoin Keeps On Thriving - Bitcoin Poem 050

Bitcoin’s growing every day
With fiat inflation on display 
Own your money - come what may 
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving

Officials saying “all is fine”
Printing money by design
Cutting down our bottom line
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving

You can learn it, take some time
Bitcoin’s young and in its prime
Yet every cycle it will climb
As Bitcoin keeps on thriving
