Premium Member I Shared a Kurt Vonnegut Lecture With My Students and They Beamed

They call it the Sunday Scaries
They call it the Bubble Visualisation Exercise 

I felt the polished wood of my table 
The softness of my son's hair

My pencil snapped when I started my Gratitude Journal
Turn to the person next to you and tell them about a teacher

As loud as God unzipping his fly
Sat in the back not being able to find the steering wheel

They laughed
They were charmed

The shapes of stories
The shapes of restfulness and well-being

My son is playing piano as I write this
I'm going to stop writing 

If this isn't nice, I don't know what is

City Halls and Councils in Lecture Mathematically Ending File

Calls for resignation in cities
When press powers overlay budget of objective
Journalism
Speaking for others illustrates division wrong

Pilot project cost the city $287 per ride given
City Councilman Bill Miranda speaks to the driver of the city's trolley before boarding Monday. Perry Smith/The Signal

The employment obstruction of causeway
Is debilitating to finance language 
In America 
These root answers create pause in print
To retract office and improve democracy growth
Term limits aren't viable excerpts
No age allows frequency in representation 
Open market Economics allows applications


Trickle Down Tips

Mathematically stated,
Budget given from total gdp 
Allotted and zeroed burden

Shortfall stated mathematically,
Citizen and journalism benefit of?
Concert opinion
In no boycott
All are conveniegned
The arrogant treasure is slushed
In life styling the outgoing fund phrases

Those whom capitalize 
remove civil liberties

This is lobby, page, reception, speculation 
Book of retraction for new
Journalist objective argument 
In dissection of
Insolvent democracy per acre or
Hectare

The statement of cost
Is evidence over budget allowance 
This is corruption 
Term slush
Fund not empty
Being spent in spiral 
Loss of life as replaced in numerical 
Press campaign powers

Achieved Lecture

THEORIES THAT WERE PRESENTED
ILLUSTRATIONS IN HOW YOU REPRESENTED
MY FELLOW GRADUATES
UNIVERSITIES HAVE TAUGHT YOU WELL
AS YOU LEAVE THROUGH THE DOORS EVERYONE YOU ASSOCIATE WITH WILL BE ABLE TO TELL
BUT IT IS UP TO YOU HOW YOU SELL YOURSELF
BE CONFIDENT, BUT DON’T DO LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE
THROUGHOUT YOU LEARNED THAT ACHIEVEMENT WAS HARD
BUT THROUGH YOUR OWN AMAZEMENT CAME ACCOMPLISHMENT

YOUR DEGREE IS YOUR PROVEN OPPORTUNITY
YET KNOWING NEVER LET DEFEAT TAKE CONTROL
YOU WERE TAUGHT TO BE CONSISTENT AND BOLD, AND WATCH AS YOU MANUEVER IN BEHOLD

YOU HAVE MADE YOUR PARENTS, GUARDIANS AND FRIENDS PROUD
LECTURES THAT WERE NOT EASY TO TAKE
IN FACT, PROFESSORS KNEW THE MISTAKES THAT YOU WOULD MAKE
BUT THE LECTURES YOU MATTERED STRATEGY BEING A CONCEPT
THE PURPOSE BEING TO ADAPT
BUT THROUGH IT ALL, THE UNIVERSITY PRODUCED MORE GRADUATES AND APPLAUD YOURSELVES

YOU PROBABLY THOUGHT IT COULDN’T BE DONE
BUT LOOK, YOU SEE YOURSELF, THE UNIVERSITY WON
I AM SURE YOU HAD SOME DOUBTS
IT WAS YOUR MIND BATTLING UNDERSTANDING AND THE POSSIBILITIES IN WHAT I AM WRITING ABOUT

YET THE UNIVERSITY ESTABLISHED EFFORT
A GOAL FOR TO ADAPT IN WHAT YOU SHOULD ACHIEVE AND HOW YOU SHOULD ANALYZE
TODAY, YOU NOW HAVE UNDERSTANDING IN HOW TO BE WISE
THAT SHOULD BE NO SURPRISE
YET YOUR INDIVIDUAL PROFESSORS WHO WILL HEAR YOUR NAME WILL SAY, ANOTHER GRADUATE I HELPED VENTURE OUT
YOU ARE THAT GRADUATE SO REJOICE AND SHOUT

THE MUSIC AND SPEECHES HAVE COME TO AN END
STEP OUT AND LET YOUR NEW CHALLENGES BEGIN
REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE UNIVERSITY BREED WITH INSTILLED AWARENESS TO PROCEED
STOP ONLY FOR A MOMENT, BUT LET WHATEVER ENDEAVORS BEING CONTINOUS 
HOLD YOUR HEAD UP HIGH

DIGNITY AND HONOR AS YOUR PURSUIT
FEAR NOT, BUT MOVE FORWARD
YOU PROVED EDUCATION OF YOURS3LF, BUT BE CONFIDENT IN YOUR PERSUADE 
I SALUTE YOU TODAY WITH TOMORROW BEING A NEW DAY, A TIME TO REFLECT WITH FOOTSTEPS TO PROCEED AND MAKE THAT MOMENT BECOME YOUR CREED.


Artistic Artilect Lecture

Planets orbit 
Around my metaphysical courses 
Quantum field 
See what atoms build 
Son of adam 
Created patterns
Manufactured structure to my calacus 
Elements satured 
An analysis 
Of this being can't be grafted 
They want me to breath in their hazardous gases 
Drink their toxin  chemical reactions 
Why they got chemtrails entrails in the air 
I shoot flaming Blair's
To prepare the unaware to beware 
I'm rare
My bloodline ancient 
Sacred 
Like alien 
I don't blend in
To fit in
These chameleons camouflage skin
 in the mirage for trends
I sabotage any of these frauds 
With a applause from GOD 
As they entourage grins 
against all odds an win
I never collage to I'm more abroad to trim
I'm a eagle flying high alone
Cause they fly with flocks of clones 
Androids of drones
I'm like Indiana Jones
Protecting the truth 
With an army in legions seasoned with fruits
Salute
Only truth seekers believers an dreamers leaders we recruit 
Against the demons who deceiving the youth
But we keep truth seasoned deep in the roots

Premium Member Disenchantment, a London Lecture in 1933

Jung lectured of dogma
its strangling of the symbol
the Medieval melted with magma
doubt was born, its smile twinkled
As monks wrote songs of Poliphile

Seeking soul from the external
in the Enlightened world,
nothing seems to be real
For eons our ancestors
were certain of the eternal

Is the light worth its weight?
Pain now lifted by pharmaceuticals
A flock who just can't walk straight
Now we live in plight or we are
simply deemed neurotypical..

Chemistry Lecture

Bored to death,
Understanding nothing in this mess.

The things we take is to much,
Waiting for the hour when we can go out for lunch.

The head spins when hearing such a thing,
And the ear starts to ring.

Things get reduced and things gets increased,
The doctor keeps talking and everyone else sleeped.

Wanting to run away,
And never stop till we reach the safety bay.

Chained to our chair and unable to move around,
With the buzz of the doctor as the only sound.

Why cant we just go out?
Talk and have fun and walk about.

Daydreaming about the outer world,
That is waiting for us to be explored.

Missing the gardens and the sun,
While sitting in lectures that are far from fun.

Imprisoned between four walls,
Not allowed to go out to the halls.

Not concentrating or paying attention,
Not caring about what our prisoner mention.

The growing tension can be cut,
If only his mouth can be shut.

But here we are sitting in this hell,
Until atast we hear the bell.


A Day Accompanying a Friend At Lecture

when i see young surgeons
with careless hands dissecting
poems in schools
ruthless for marks,
i smirked and declined from
warning them,one day
they will dissect their lives in poems.
not all of them will write,some will
pen lyrics and think greatly about it,
O that emotion that is universally Sad.
i know,their teachers too
have a habit around poems;
the class depended on them
for limitations and murmur.
with time,i knew they were same.
same in sanity and madness,
after the same teachings,
the blind philosophy,
the best glamourous road
of no end,
to be lost is possibility.
the tempted man will follow the snake
into the weeds,
the realised will sit and mend;
with some faith the broken becomes beauty.

Premium Member Lecture me this'

The quyeer one's into lectures.' Well he?? yes he is the pm.!
A background full of law, and saville ignoranc, no intent' to
Besmirch or to scandal.' I don't think there is need he is
Personally in thst quite active.' I'll try to bring all up to speed." He has locked up free speech.' And a journalist too.!
Name of Tommy Robinson.' Who screened a film that was
And is so true, i don"t know him socially, for we never have
Met.' Yet I advise his release.' That good order be kept, that
Law may be seen to be impartial.' That it may be seen that
It is done' In the interests of a country that once put true
Justice as priority number one.'

Today's Lecture

It’s 9 in the morning.
The time when I sleep in my thoughts
The time when I browse with no warning
The time when I nail the teacher to the cross
 
With his tedious work ethic,
With his dull monotone,
With his stupendous sight of sluggish logic,
I cannot stand his voice alone.

I am there if Plato’s Theory of Forms is applied
I am there to write my name on the list
I am there just to spend some time to bide
Yet in the Form of myself, I do not exist

At least I crave for his silly spasms
Seriously.. I am not saying this with sarcasm!!

Now In Lecture Halls With Glass

Either she had skipped a class,
Now in lecture halls with Glass
Or had merited The New
For The Quite Brilliant Few:
To no longer mow down grass
Mean labor prefects bypass;
What All Former mates treasure
And strictly take for pleasure
Like Ice-cream-recharged leisure!

It is an Immunity
Not in University
And that’s The Adversity,
For others she shall pity.

My Lecture On Carnivore

Things you know not about a carnivore
Are many like the goods in hoarder’s store,
Some of them quick at baring the skin pore,
Some much harder than Steel or Iron Ore,
Still some knowledge you could pick from walked floor...

To start with, it adores its ugly jaw,
With it readily breaking The Law;
First, a prey seizing with its cursed paw:
Mostly, The Unsuspecting Herbivore,
Though, does as much to Weaker Carnivore,
Left-over from the quick meal An Eyesore,
Normal Man, who this in their theatre saw,
To himself a calming glass of gin pour,
His safety double or make times four:
If there’s an escaping boat find its oar
None speedily build a hut with tough door!

Each carnivores enjoys just going to war
But finishing of its target quite core…

Each carnivore is A Bastard or Whore!

Premium Member Art Lecture

I went to the art lecture

Because I knew it would

Be dark, and I could sit 

In the back of the room

In back of all the backs

Of heads staring forward

At the slides shuttering by,

Oil strokes, cut stones

Doric spires all whispering

--This too shall pass—

Ruins.

You could still smoke in those

Rooms back then 

And the plumes and gray lace 

Rose to the rafters

--Like souls---

Premium Member manifest destiny

manifest destiny

pros say 'tain't reasonable expecting
change overnight involving much money
besides military needs more funding
to destroy north bear and make days sunny

peace is not exceptional agenda
when free market needs secret stimulus
what you expecting us to surrenda
this for your edu-loans medicare plus

an endless list of green infrastructure
yielding us nothing but more inflation
count your blessings get new jobs' their lecture
enlist now if you love our great nation

do well not to breathe or call it all greed
just believe china's slow printing out need

A Lecture of Conjecture

Made a suggestion,
And Lecture on Conjecture;
Did blow many minds.
