Duplicity
Duplicity Is there a person present beyond the plastic shell? The AI generation exemplifies artificiality The same plastic makeup that is prevalent in humans. Are we people, or are we robots with artificial intelligence? Devoid of real feeling and emotion, fixated on self. While our fellow men waste away, Their calls for support and help lay in vain. We remain fixated on...

Premium Member Duplicity
This is not as good as it gets; You needle and it stimulates, joy your hard nose eliminates; Screw your limits; Screw your limits; Don’t ask for attention from me, I’m something you don’t care to see; What is the new song gonna be? Duplicity, Duplicity....

Rampant Lethargy
R is for the repeated distortions of facts, A for press articles written with hacks, M for the emphasis placed on survival, P for the piss taken out of your rival. A for analogies that never convince, N for false narratives making us wince, T for traditional values cast-off That cause umpteen scholars and clergy to scoff. L is for...

Premium Member Duplicity of the Wind
The wind seems a song of placidity As it passes through the meadow near But I know it’s a harbinger of treachery Soon, from sudden blasts of Arctic air. They say a snowstorm is imminent We must quickly prepare for the worst A drop in the barometer is prominent, And folks in our area are well-versed. The grocer’s shelves are nearly bare Of staples...

Paradigm Shift
I’m adjusting fixed positions On opinions and deductions From now on breathing other airs I have a stack of fresh instructions I let go of once held handle bars Veering off from straight line steering Riding curves requiring nerves Whilst watching stances disappearing Chancers wait to try it on Consider risk-maintaining stakes Ask what can we afford to lose Whilst still expecting lucky breaks...

Premium Member Ode To 'Yelp' Duplicity
'Yelp's' a lark, (truth indeed?), maybe servant of greed? You want 'natural' ratings? Please your advice heed! Now your model for earning seems blackmail at best, You pollute client's site with competitor's ad, Which you'll clear if we pay (proof intentions are bad), Even Satan can see that Yelp fails 'morals test.' Many think it'd be nice if Yelp charged a...

Duplicity
The duplicity of solitude, — thinker and thought The lies we tell ourselves, hoping never to get caught In darkness, living behind walls that conceal Our thoughts from our feelings, —masquerading as real (Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2011)...

Duplicity
As I lay on sodden ground Silence reigns, There lays no sound. I feel no pains I have no displeasure My heart interlocked by chains. I feel great and euphoric leisure I am in control I’m proud to say Nothing can stop this pleasure. I am feeling no guilt and no sorrows Am I kidding myself to the actual truth? Because even small ants cast...

Duplicity
Bound by preconceptions of what is and what cannot be, we condemn and deny life's inherent duplicity, that birds sing the songs of God is truly reality and our thoughts and dreams take flight like leaves from an autumn tree....

Duplicity
He swallowed my heart with a greedy smile and the world began to bend Although I sensed an emptiness He swore he was my friend So I parted with a sigh and He smiled to himself while picturing my timid heart upon his trophy shelf...

Faithful Duplicity
In the depth of darkness sounds, words, just words of meaningless consequence Never was there a line so cold, so still, overflowing with too much to hold Elegant lies weaved into one, the crash comes soon as the enchanted deception runs Vivid colors, blood red pumps and with every word the mind carries the forbidden orb Idolized perfection...

Duplicity
Duplicity seems the eagles's keenness, to impend and kill the marabous that rest, too insecure, into the dusky and calm sunset... Without vigilance no prey is seized by claws, the warm flesh must bleed to make it painfully croak; crudities aren't fit for a bloody, raw palate... Duplicity shapes the hawks' narcissism by greed, to fret the geese that plan no imminent escape; they may seem robust, but they...
