I’m judged by nation, and I can’ help smiling
Reading the sophistry that tells it isn’t so
Although it’s true, I can’t avoid assigning
To propositions that expose me as a foe
Who benefits from this, keeps it low key
Despite that Bible warning, people judge
Way bigger than they know, they do agree
To disagree about subjects that seem large
But I’m not judging in response, being detached
I have enough to deal with on my plate
Generalized, historisized and tribalized
I’m not that recognized for one’s sweet hate.
Growing up with older adults was not always fun,
but I learned many valuable things.
I saw how health was important,
in what they ate and their activities.
The church goers had faith,
faith to get them through the tough times.
Once retired they kept going,
no sitting and watching TV all day.
Sitting was not good for them,
so they died way too early.
Longevity may come from family genes,
but one can always improve their own life.
So here is to Longevity,
may we all live to be one hundred and ten.
we’ll be parasocial (enjoy one-sided emotional relationships).
practice ineffective communication
swim the algorithmic swamp
speak insurance language
soak in social exhaustion
trigger and be triggered
relish anti-affordability
do the bare minimum
embrace a conspiracy
manage our topics
accrue aura points
enjoy resenteeism
take the rage-bait
overuse backlash
seem authentic
explore AI sex
digitally clash
be bias blind
scroll away
rage-farm
deepfake
Job hugg
glow up
buy gas
ick date
go viral
resist

22 activities of the port
The world doesn’t need a poet
To dock a large tug
He doesn’t need an Angolan poet
To unload semi-trailers
The world doesn’t need a poet
To build a building,
he doesn’t need a poet,
To take off an Airbus A 340,
The world doesn’t need a poet
To pick up the trash cans from the port,
For the cranes to be under the containers,
But he needs a poet
To say all this.
I wonder...
If RightWing Activists
are, thereby,
actively against
Allies of a healthy
cooperative
co-invested
compassionate democracy.
If RightMind disempowered pessimists
lack Win/Win enlightened grace
to feel unconditional warm economies
of politically organic love
in sacred time and space.
If RightHand monotheistic powers
could ever learn
from divine experience
to become more bicamerally
GreenLiberal/RedConservational
co-ecstatic
If Left/Right circling spectral lights
of win/win thriving Egos
worshipping our sacred shared
sexual EcoSystems
become, thereby,
compassionate peace-thriving
intrapersonal repairs
supporting resilient interpersonal partnerships,
resonant teams,
and 7-regeneration sustainable,
multisensory health and safety
communions
unions,
transcendently co-empathic
As when GreenNoise Wonder
grows in nonverbal compassion,
integrity of sacred
Red Holesome
inviting robust Awe.
**Rigmarole of Computer Science**
A world of all practical reality,
Full of quantity with various quality,
An online environment with multiple facilities,
Plays a dominant role in every activity...
Strategies and technologies,
Count it with phone, radio, telex,
Developments and informatics,
Including television, photographs and graphics...
Digital systems with advanced concepts,
Makes our life almost perfect,
Whether it's computing the uncountable,
Or doing the impossible...
Not just a boon for the whole universe,
The world is also dealing with it's curse,
Hard to understand but make people curious,
The brightest, the smartest yet most dangerous...
Pushing businesses to another level through networking,
Shopping, travel, payments or brand building,
Data storing and electronic representation,
Consider social media and interactive stimulation...
Humiliating virtually or false dishonouring,
Be it cyber frauds or cyber bullying,
Such actions are deliberate and done repeatedly,
Can cause great harm, so be aware and use carefully...

BIRTHDAY GIFTS
Free Verse
A belated birthday gift
From my son I received
That I could use in my daily activities
Jog, walk and exercise the things I need in my life
A blue jogging suit
And a Lacoste rubber shoes
That makes my whole being more active
Feeling better and younger than others
A nice cap from by younger daughter
And a wrist watch from the older
These small things gave me the vigor
The inspiration and aspiration to live longer
With me walking and jogging
Are the best gifts I ever received
My loving and understanding wife
Which I believe a gift from God
Sei Whales are listed as, endangered
They are found in most oceans, on our planet
but they don’t inhabit, tropical and polar region oceans
and are known to be very important, for the health of the oceans
Sei Whales have speed, of up to thirty miles per hour
But that doesn’t help them, when it comes to human activities
with the threats are climate change, pollution and net fishing
along with scientific research by Japan, for “scientific whaling”
The chicken squawked
The lady walked
The horse snorted
The mail was sorted
The Turkey gobled
The chick wobbled
The dog barked
The squeaking cart
The lady walked
The chicken squawked
The letter was mailed
The student failed
The star shone
The ringing of the phone
The dog barked
The car parked
The wind blew
The bird flew
The tree swayed
The man prayed
Nighttime is when we sum up the day's activities
Solving all the days' problems, ignoring the hostilities
At times our mind wanders
Into uncharted waters
Then back to Earth and reestablish my sillities
A-fter
U-nderstanding

anything
on the eyesight
brings a knowledge
apparently; then supplies
a chain command to our sense
of acceptance; then our sense makes
an activities in our brain with some logic;
sometimes this logic certifies these in
practical sense of our mind; if the
insightful mind is prepared by
itself wisdom then it accepts
these beautifully
otherwise it
leaves...

Election Activities Exciting
Current election activities are exciting;
Qualified voters we have been inviting;
Do not wait;
Participate,
And our country we need to be uniting.
Jim Horn
No meaningful activities.
Not now, not for years.
Many people I see totally bored.
Filling time, wasting time.
I read good books.
I like my friends and doing anything together.
I will do some things boring.
But I see a paucity of good activities.
So I’m patient.
I will find activity.
We all must.
Entertainers, TV, please help (more).
People will flock to the better entertainment.
Please not for lots of money.
I will thank God for improved activities,
And so will my retired parents.
In memory of my uncle Donald
Who had boredom.
