     Nine months after October 6, 1973
     PM Golda Meir of Israel was history
     
     For an intelligence failure colossal
     She became a political fossil…

     Fast forward to October 7, 2023

Fortunate Failures of Fallacy and Regret

Fortunate failure of fallacy and regret
Contortionist cartoonist illustrating what id like to forget
Proportions of misfortune that I have to measure then reject
Insubordinate illusions of what the deluded ones project

Brandishing bravery as a tool to confront apathy
Vanishing complacency as a fool faces his own pathology
Diminishing returns on an outstretched Hand for mediocracy
Banishing a word in fear

Power In The Tongue

There is power in the tongue.
Words can cause good things to happen or bad things to happen.
People tell me that I am not going to make it in life.
My failures came to life.
Didn't want to believe they were right.
I toss and turn each night.
My failures are bonding me.
Don't think I have the strength to win

Chaos

Chaos
Into the maelstrom of blood flinging and flooded diarrhea
Swirling amidst a vortex of needle and .
There I stand at the middle of it all.
The central point of this orbit of noxious madness.
The nucleus at the heart of rotten insanity.
A whirlpool of hot garbage circling around me, the core.
An iris in fusion vomiting molten liquid metal upon

Nonsense feeders, just useless
Impeders, slow and lazy in a walk
To cake, sluggish decievers wasting
Space; even though theres plenty of

Coulden't they be in canary yellow?
So all could avoid the stupid fellows.'
Have they got familiy? Who'd own
These bums, david hurly might be one?
He's quite the lyre-bird we've heard.'

Embracing the Fall

In the boundless tapestry of time and space,
where dreams and destinies intertwine,
there exists a question, whispered by the cosmic winds,
echoing through the vast expanse:
If we fall, do we not also pass stars?

Oh, the dance of existence, adorned with celestial grace,
where souls unfurl like nebulous blossoms,
their radiance trailing behind.
We, mere travelers in this cosmic ballet,
find hidden

Failures

It's  okay to make mistakes, 
Nothing much is lost at the stakes.
And one failure is not ultimate, 
So it's not good to hate.

Instead you should learn from it,
About how to deal with all this .
And move on with a steady pace,
Towards success with a determined face.

Mistakes does not mean failures,
So it's alright to shed

Sex Ed Failures

Watching the clock I'm wary of time,
listening to words that mean nothing to me

If I could do better and take useful notes,
then maybe the lesson I could finally agree

It's no good to be different in Sex Ed,
what if I don't plan to date a man?

They don't talk of subjects I care of at all,
and frankly,

Letting Go and Calmly Witnessing All

Letting Go and Calm Witnessing

When U have no solution
You tried it all; Fate Insists you fall. You no longer stand tall
Such moments come often
We try to forget the falls - feeling nothing, helps find your nobodyness
If we hold up a "failure at Solution"
That moment is a mix of doing nothing AND "doing along" with the

Life Is No Single Shore

It so happen,
The hungry whale in hearty amity,
with an invisible scowl and a dreadful leer.   
Led him to the gallows.

blackened by whorish adventurous traverse on many beds, 
with mascara concealed the treacherous venom of invading serpent, 
Delilah dressed in the garbs of Deborah,
gives a Judas kiss to their prey,
and at the other counting

I Want To Be Like Me

My life swings 
Without any full stop...
I strived grow 
they told I was worthless,
I moved on with my life
Wistful, yet too slow.


The day I tried to dance
they told me I'm unfit;
When I tried to sing 
they told I'm just howling...
I'm neglected 
as I am ugly...


I moved on 
with my life on thorns;
Filled with twists 
and
