The New Master Ad 2121Forget about futuristic wars
between nations, race against race
country against country
tongue against tongue;
soon the populous will know no
borders, continents no boundaries.
“The New master”
Is awakening manoeuvring
stalking, his plan already activated
The twenty second century will
see his bidding become
formidable, the pocket, whims,
thoughts and desires
will be his to regulate, what

Per Ardua Ad Astra...inspired by 'Science-Fiction Cradlesong'
by C.S. Lewis
Were we to try for heaven,
by dust and stars be riven
to lust for foreign places
where we might find strange faces,
the cost could be pre-emptive,
marginalize incentive.
In tubes of strengthened metal,
to demonstrate our mettle,

Cinis Ad Cinerem, Pulvis Ad PulveremDo the ashes rest on the frigid ground so cold?
As they are seeing the next steps of infinity,
Ask that question of yours to the reaper, be bold.
Dust whence we came, dust shall we leave old,
Laying down I pray for us all, a touch of divinity,
Do...

Through Windows Abstract Ad Infinitum
"Through Windows Abstract Ad Infinitum"
Ascending plural through the Sun
becomes One
Seen through different windows
Seams sewn in souls strung like pearls cast out into the world
Everyone is written into The Story, all accounted for, not gone unsung
Sun through the plural Ascending
One becomes
Windows different, though...

Ibis Ad CrucemThe day that Pilate helped sentence
Jesus to the cross ---
People were proclaiming, that Ceaser
was their only boss ---
Although Pilate argued for Jesus
life to be spared ---
Few showed any mercy and even
less expressed that they cared ---
Finally after several attempts to save
Jesus from a cruel death...

Earth: 4022 AdThey can sense what the drones
are sensing. They can see what the
drones are seeing.
They can walk hundreds of miles
without exhaustion. Thirst and muscle
pulls are alien to them.
Priviledged and lucky they feel,
living without worry of food, wars,
death or taxes.
Yes, death! They
have found an elixir to...

Ad-VerseThere once was a poet whose verse
Was so awful that readers would curse.
But the rules on the Soup
Wouldn't let them say "Poop!"
Though they wanted, of course, to say worse!

Amicus Usque Ad ArasA Friend as Far as to the Alters
Where did they go?
Running along the sweeping streams of life?
Standing behind the endless eclipse of darkness?
Hiding under the melancholy leaves of fall?
Bouncing among the clumsy clouds of obscurity?
Swimming around the savage sharks of strife?
Sleeping with the lonely lovers...

An Ugly Ad
“Shop now, pay later”
Those are the words of a catalog retailer.
I see the ad to the right of the screen.
It is one of the ugliest ads I’ve ever seen.
This guy has a mustache and a strawberry nose.
Letters are fastened to his teeth which he shows.
I...

1970s Cigarette Silvathin AdWomen smoke to stay thin.
Men can get bigger.
It is okay.
After their weddings they can balloon up.
Women will tolerate it.
But women better get thinner and thinner.
The commercial writers of SilvaThin knew this.
They spread the propaganda
And women bought in.
Wanting to be thinner
and thinner
and thinner
and thinner
and thinner
and thinne
