Devolve Poems

Premium MemberThe anti-fa-ctual irony'

We must de-industrialise i hear..By some pallid strange
Specimens; let this be clear' in order to devolve to sustain'
We must resort to mass slaughter? Oh the idiocy.' And such
Strain the cattle are creating co2.. its the stuff of creation 
And part of it.' Is that not true.? Yet still we must strive to
Mine lithium ore..Quite a destructive passtime.' To obtain
From raw.? Yet the goal is sustainable farming and such
Like ploughing with horses? And lighting candles well its
Not really that tough.' It can be done.' I'm not saying it
Can't but we'll need all the livestock.' About which some
Rant.' To do the impossible mankind ever tries.' And fads
Are ubiquitous as are callumny and lies.'

klaus says humanity has lost its trust' so i guess to regain
It is his new must??
trump has won and now presides.' As many people are
Opening their eyes.?]
Many Americans phoned and texted when a new bill was
Debated' and we saw things got really affected.'
I don't know how ( that went down ?)
With all  those evil? davos clowns?
soros gates claus and carny, atten-borough thun-burg they'd send you barmy!
In listening to such fifteen minutes? it is plenty.' Of time
To escape the ' forever citys' and before they're built.!
Like a hive.? Do we have a  mind.? Hmm think..Think think.? 
Also action will do fine.' What will be the next distractions.? Maybe
Its simply best to do as above.? Get involved to devolve.!
Give the agenda a shove.? Which is like a train on its track
Of lies.?? If you remove some sections off a cliff it

Premium MemberPeace Be To All

Of course,
Christmas is 
about Christ...

Dah!~ it is in
the name -- 

As evil is in Devil

whom we blame;

while man could be the
author of his own push/pull 
game? Reality his own
Virtual? -- 

just think about it...

without our need
no talk of heaven
and hell...

unless
there are other planets
under such cryptic
spell

creation replete with
condemnation
and emancipation -- 
----------------------

Something is off...

a loving God that

would devolve spirit

as miracle flesh being


to pain some eternally

for His Own flaw 

if imperfect Freeing?

Null Light

The race of null light 
Cause defects to eye sight 
Oh what a color of strong sign 
Envictim dote with great sigh 

In here lieth fear 
My mind is the cradle for it shelter 
To do, to see, to speak, to hear;
Fear delight to alter 

Your sun is indeed friendly 
Under the cool breeze there 
Let our bond freeze here 
Never to devolve 
No matter what it may involve 

Let the smiling sun of the sky 
Wipe away the stain of our pain 
Come along with me to the river banks 
Let withdraw our smiles joy and happiness in bulks 

Come on, let walk on a shallow sick summer 
Let our happiness lighten our way further 
Let keep the fame memories alive 
And have a prosperous days ahead

Premium MemberA Limerick About Socio-Economics

The fear about globalization
is that Earth will devolve to stagnation; 
but with knowledge we'll prove
and definably move
away from destabilization!

I May Die

The image of demise refined,
Thus, my body was confined 
So dismal, doleful and discomfited 
Although the wicked wish went awry
But, I still weighed 'I may die'.

Suddenly, I saw my soul stalled;
After a short time, it questioned,
"Are you aghast of death?"
This question remained on my eye,
As my tears said 'I may die'.

For whether we live,
We live unto the Lord;
And whether we relive,
We relive unto the Lord
We live or die, we are the Lord. 

With this,
Confidence reported like
There is nothing worse than death
Death is assured;
Thus, we must feel 'I may die'.

You run after riches,
On the floor of the fallen men;
Remember you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes
What'll be your gain if you die?

Your father,
Where is he?
Does your prophet live forever?
With your power, the world is slave 
Don't you think 'if I die?'

As it was,
The body will devolve by the earth 
Whatever you call yourself;
Always remember,
'I may die'.

by Akinloye Gbajero S. (c. June 5, 2023).
(ref. Romans, 14:8, Psalms, 82:7, Zechariah, 1:5, Ecclesiastes 12:7).

Premium MemberTime Is Changeable

Time is indeed changeable...
but here, not a reference to
Einstein's Sense equated

for when time ages, it quickens – 
looses elements, as an older
body looses functions of 
motion, leaps the gaps
between thoughts, unaware
of spaces once consciously
traveled (forgotten the reasons
for places and their dynamic purposes) – 
                
           mountains become
dust...
                seas become beds
of salt – waves and tides
no longer aware of self's current-memories...
             
                      kings and queens
devolve from royalty to fond
myths 
            Time has no beginning
nor end, outside life's infinite album
creation fills with photos of past, living moments,
          and dreams yet to be begotten – 

                    Time began with God
                    
                    and rests not until His man

Premium MemberIn Arms of Love

In arms of love, cold hearts dissolve,
being but essence of the whole,
merging with which, is our life's goal,
that here and now we so evolve.
Life is not a puzzle to solve,
so let's play well our earthy role,
in arms of love.

See how fears and desires revolve,
darkening the light of our soul,
distanced from bliss scriptures extol.
Let us then our false pride devolve, 
in arms of love.

Premium MemberZombie Love Sonnet 3

Shall I liken you to a corpse bouquet?
You are certainly ripe and more fetid.
The fond zephyrs of May waft your decay
Up the addled noses of us wretched  
Hordes famished for flesh, lurching on the moor,
And me amongst them clawing to your scent
Putrix beyond the spitty chum’s allure
Propels me well beyond routine ferment
To you, though Fate’s sickle blade shall flail
My congealed member’s once firm resolve,
And fire inflames us just shy of the pale,
Our passion will continue to devolve.
   Ever, shall she be my prime cadaver,
   O to undie again, and to have her!

Premium MemberExtinction

everything will meet the coal black lips of extinction-eventually
some before their time-some right on time
don't sweat it don't feel sad
new species will evolve
its the nature of things
we'll crawl from ancient seas
lay our eggs in the sand
devolve into demons again
everything is given a chance at life,,, 
except for the aborted.

Plato Was Right

Without exception, throughout all time,
governments devolve

Aristocracy, the Philosopher King,
benign in his resolve

Timocracy, the city state,
landed and secure

The Oligarch, his army placed,
to rule in peace and war

Democracy, each voice to shout,
as chaos takes the reins

When Tyranny must force its hand
—as socialists have deigned

No Net

tight rope live wire
line crossing i see
a squirrel foot over
foot over feet
making his
way across
the street
but from
above

watching
his buds
thinking
running
stopping
uncertain
turning
back 
but

somewhat
frozen in
the middle
if the road
confused
as if to
go for
ward
or

turn back
but caught
in a time
lapse of
if or what
to do so
do noth
ing but
hope

and soon they
devolve and
dissolve from
mammal to
bird by those
simple words
put into a
question
asking

why did 
the chicken
cross the road

Premium MemberAnother Brother

Say so sadness must reveal
Who saw a brother falling fast?
The depth of loss for all so real
Mind departure liquor blast

The finest glider in the air
One glitch devolve to nullify
Fine life of labor flying fair
Shards remain of years gone by

All bottle-torn disheveled worn
One perfect flight crash-landed
Slim hope for greener pasture born
Locked out a mind descended
