Let me say I’m not much of a cook,
Even my husband could tell you it’s true,
For thirty-four years he shouldered that task~
Then left!
Oh, I grill the cheese sandwich quite well,
Very crisp on each side filled with Colby and ham,
Even so I prefer leftovers from Mother’s abode~
Roast beef and mash reheats
Super nice!
D on't get it twisted,
I t is
V ery clear why programs like this even
E xisted!
R eaching goals and obtaining any type of
S uccess was hard when sex, skin and orientation came
I nto view.
T ribulation and strife was in heavy supply for the old and the
Y outh.
E very day we should fight for everyone to have the
Q uality of life that is truly humane and
U nderstand that although that might not look the same for everybody
I t should feel like
T hey're living and breathing the same good life as their fellow man.
Y ou shouldn't have to scrape
A nd claw to do
N othing but simply exist.
D enying or closing our eyes to bias and systemic bigotry
I s not the answer and takes us
N owhere.
C alled are we all to truly
L ove another and to hate what is evil.
U nique opportunities arrive when we
S ever ties with
I deas
O f hatred and disdain.
N othing but truly loving each other as God loves us can change hearts and minds.

Monocrostic (Birthday of Kristine Elvie Lapeña)
A.I. is not satanic
It’s algorithms
What is evil
Is what you do with’em
Algorithms are not
Presuppositions
AI is reliant on its maker
But Pressup's are reliant on The Maker
There is no place
For A.I. in heartfelt poetry
While you may have symmetry
You don’t and won’t have em-oetry
You know silly made up things
Like Dr. Suess’s terms
And emotional poetry
And a lot of F words
Modern machinery
Can't duplicate man’s brain-ery
Can A.I. touch nuance
Or personal subtlety?
P.S. While A.I. screams "I'm an imperative!"
I am sorry but A.I. just doesn't fit the narrative
Each incoming missile took out by ‘The dome’
Very few, thankfully, get to hit home
It never will change till tyrannical men
Learn to repent of their actions back then…
Bullets and bombs in the hands of the crazed
Atrocities leaving authorities dazed
So many do-gooders too blind to look
Two sides to each story? Not in my book
A tentative peace interspersed with atrocity
Rubbed out by evil at violent velocity
Don’t say ‘Freedom fighters are raising their fists’
Say what it is; one word… “Terrorists”.
Desire to hold on to or dispose of your closest relationship.
Involves a mixture of emotions and challenges.
Very disruptive time in one’s life.
One life experience you may want to but will never forget.
Risk it all to keep your family intact and safe.
Chaos often erupts.
End result can become a blessing in time.
