The Operating System
That wide open plan, 
The desktop area so spacious, 
A vast canvas so beautiful;
Why do you sit there, 
Open to all for their curiosity? 
When you to me call.

Oh cupboard, that hard disk brimming with identity, 
Memory no problem, even lacking files;
Proficiently organised with raging...

Murder In the Operating Room
I'm a doctor who murdered a man in the OR.
I lost my medical license and I'm behind bars.
The bastard took a life with his gun.
The person who he killed was my son.

He fooled the jury into believing that he was innocent.
I was so angry and...

Operating At Zero G
Operating at Zero G

As cosmos coalesces with the universe
Lights out at space station four
Meteor storm exaggerated its orbit
Plunged it into brilliant dark
Surgeon lost his grip on scalpel and will to cut
As he floated from the operation
Down the hall with nothing on his mind
Patients convalesce and...

Operating At a Loss
I
How long have I been doing this
Throwing my time & money
Into a hole
Filling up notebooks
Mining overheard conversation
For lines
Squeezing the sponge
Of my wine soaked
Mind
Into the bucket
Of poetry
And now here we are
Gulping down the
Lead tainted water
Like Romans
Romans
Forced to eat
Wooden fruit
To amuse a mad
Emperor
Isn´t it time
To call it...

Wrong Operating Systems
when you look at the world 
operating systems and find out  
there were made for the interests of few folks 
in the world and you keep silent. 
Imagine the thoughts of the victims 
who standing pacifically and 
expressing some important issues 
to clean without...

Premium Member Operating On Christianity
Can I claim to be Christian without casting judgment
in ways that aren’t Christ-like? Aspiring to faith proves faith’s real?
Or does saying, “I’m Christian,” more grant I’m a sinner
apart from God’s Grace that Christ bought on the cross as it’s price?
Can humility honor self-praise, “I’m disciple?”
Can...

I Died On the Operating Table At Yale
I died on the operating table at Yale.
My brain aneurysm explosion was off the scale.
My heart, my brain and my lungs all failed.
My life was shaken like a 10 on the Richter scale.
My life, like a train, was totally derailed.
I left my body and above...

Premium Member Operating Instructions
The most important fact about Spaceship Earth,
An instruction manual didn't come with it.

A more significant historical fact about giving and receiving healthy life on Earth,
no instruction manual is needed
beyond Business As Usual DNA health-development function

Just look historically around

COLONY OPERATING MECHANISM
Colony operating mechanism
Christianity played bad role in Africa
As most European pastors and priests 
were investigators and informers of the regime.
as some believers were made spies 
by some churches leaders.
some people who went
 to repent their sins 
To majority ministers 
were astonished to see the police officers...

Testing Testing Both Eyes and Ears Are Operating Swell
Unless you are the very 1st human
being on earth

To have discovered the ability or
have been gifted the means

Of possessing eye's in the back 
of your head

Then here a few words that may be
of use to you

Please do not be surprised if you miss
what is right...

Windows Dead
Hid all the menus
Windows did
Then shared the links
throughout it's grid

And spread the way
for what is thread
To mock the balkers
for their tread

And make their lives
a living led
For all the time
that's lost till dead...
