21st Century Emperor's
The emperors have no clothes on! People are living in a trance Psychologists like to call it cognitive dissonance Perhaps even a carefully crafted chance To see what isn't there, only to praise a hollow show, While truth and reason disappear, common senses go. It’s just simply a situation gone sad I can’t help but wonder, have we been had or merely...

Premium Member In this century, we have forgotten to value old age and the wisdom that comes with it
In this century, we have forgotten to value old age and the wisdom that comes with it, we worship health, virtual networks, artificial intelligence, and speed, believing we are kings of life, but in fact, we are blind slaves to unripe desires, servants of our own lives, as we live in an unfinished dream, a labyrinth of illusions.

Premium Member William Lewis, 22nd Century Explorer
William Lewis woke up one day to see a jungle, frightening and dark, not knowing how he had arrived there or which way he should embark.

Half a Century Lived
Here We Are, Half a Century Lived Here we are, we’ve lived for half a century, We’ve fallen down, yet risen, it’s our destiny.

21st Century Devil
How was I supposed to know, When all I have ever known was love? That bad doesn't only exist in the bible And liars aren't just in stories from a long time ago.

Do people still need real human poetry in the 21st century Some still ask as AI plagiarizes when put to task To be the social connectors The innovation and invitation To new or old, writers Adored heroes Thought leaders To breathe form from the intangible into their quiet lives For them to taste the twist and guile of...
