to capitalism's competitions
or compassion's cooperation?
Responsive chords,
amusing reeds
and whistling thistles

Quantum Serenade: Echoes of Silicon DreamsIn the binary echo of future's hum,
A symphony of circuits, a digital drum.
Zeros and ones dance in cosmic code,
Cybernetic dreams on silicon road.
Silent whispers of circuits entwine,
Artificial minds in algorithmic design.
Through quantum realms, a portal's...

Migrating Culture ChangePerhaps immigration is our big US national anxiety
because we don't know how to unilaterally abort
cancerous growth of matricide.

at a merely nationalistic level
of ecocidal unconsciousness.
Earth is our shared sacred home
which has...

The Wolf Hunt
Under a sky full of starlight
the pack gathers led by alpha male,
moon casting a glow so pale,
chasing through forests at night.

or a militaristic Allah
or a dogmatic YHWH
