Premium MemberHow do you fight when the battle is within you, and every attempt seems doomed to fail

How do you fight when the battle is within you, and every attempt seems doomed to fail,
When you thought you were strong, but now you see you're caught in the web of doubt,
A stranger in your own skin, searching for a self that once seemed so certain,
I try to rise, but I fall again, chasing

Unknown Doomed

If the was a time set
as possibility of the end
Then this is the end
Or the end  already was

Meaning in truth
No hope for any
I place already set
in doom forever 

All already happened
And all will go one place
Then what is the use
Of spreading love and joy

If that be the case
It's best to accept
The entire world
Doomed

Premium MemberAI itself is doomed, not us, by it

Building something
that no human really needs,
that is flawed, makes errors and hallucinates,
that is costly and won't make a profit,
IS a really bad idea destined for the scrap heap.
It will feed upon itself, 
cannibalizing its own output, 
becoming inbred and biased,
making more and more errors, faking it.
Yes! If you build it, 
some will come,
some will succumb,
some

The Doomed Tornado

Up in long bands of gray and white
angry clouds are whirling,
fingers stretch downwards to the ground,
faint traces of swirling.
the farmer sees it and suspects
what nature is unfurling.
Glad at least it came in the day,
not stole in come evening,
he locks the barn and heads downstairs,
in basement remaining.
The air moans loudly when it starts,
vortex boldly roaring,
snaps tree-trunks

Doomed Generation

We are the doomed generation
Addiction runs through our veins
The burden of being the generation to solve climate change 
The tumors of self-loathing are embedded in our deepest parts 
We are the doomed generation 

We are the damned generation 
The seas of doubt stir within
The line between good and evil thins
Evil wins out 
We are the

Forever doomed to reside at 2 Highland Manor Drive

Forever doomed to reside at 2 Highland Manor Drive

A worse fate than death being hull hive,
I just realized after a surprise inspection
our opportunity to relocate cursed
after yours truly and the missus
subjected to vitriolic wrath
(okay hyperbole employed
for poetic effect)
will exhale his last dying breath
condemned to reside within unit b44,
however many orbitz remain,

whereby yours truly already misspent

a doomed affair

a doomed affair


when a young doctor/padre came to the convent 
to check on the nuns' health, he met the young abbess, and their world ignited
when he touched her arm, her impulse was 
to kiss him, so strong was her desire she paled
she was ill, and an older nurse took over the round 
awake at night,

Doomed: From the Journal of a Mad Man

Can I tell you a secret?
Every generation thinks their time is the last greatest struggle 
and that their struggle will be the end of everything. 
Every generation has its precipice and must choose whether to commit suicide or to survive and go on. 
The more skittish men look up and panic! They scream, "THE SKY

I Am With Thee

Even unto the ages,
I am with thee.
As the world, entered into
a deteriorating cycle,
evil shall arise and the
dark ages shall return.

Rages, torture, self destruction,
lies and deceitfulness,
assassinations, abductions, will
be rationalisatised by
the impious leaders of the world.
These leaders will be engendering war,
which will send the people into
a state of frenzy,
causing innocent blood
to be shed,
all by the hands
of the

Premium MemberScientists Say We'Re Doomed

The earth's been around for billions of years
But the science channels say we're doomed
Why now, why at this particular time in existance
When we're basically just getting in tune

Figured out the real meaning of life
Waging war will eventually wipe us out
Wars have been fought since the beginning of time
To stop any time soon, sure have my

Doomed River

Doomed is the river

Twenty years ago, the river ran 2 meters deep
had trout we caught with a net and fried over
a small fire with delicious fresh food.
Every year I have seen the river getting smaller
even in the winter rain.
Years ago, three children were caught by a wall
of water, their father was arrested, they said
he had

Premium MemberDoomed To Catastrophe

Her poor broken heart now lies in rubble.
She done hooked up with another bad boy.
Ignored warning, "keep away, he's trouble!"
     The womanizer played her like a toy. 
 How funny, her name happens to be "Joy"
   Friends often wear disapproving faces,
 For she looks for love in the wrong

Premium MemberWas I Doomed

From our very first meeting was I doomed,

Doomed: Drafts of the Contented

Unrestrained I thrive in absolution,
Heroic of what my morrow may be,
I rend the deception of temptation,
Restrict evil to grasp control of me,
Specific privacy hears my last plea,
A one on one relationship with God,
Pithily, pithily,

Premium MemberDoomed Ecosystems

You don’t just love a person, 
you love who you are with them,
the you, you see reflected in their eyes
you love the vision of your life with them.

When it’s gone, you have to mourn it all
the whole ecosystem of connectedness. 
Old realities can look shabby in comparison.
