A simulated consciousness
beyond our will to choose
Defying Einstein, Bohr, and Hume
where logic stands defused
The matter at hand can’t matter
when rules unwrite themselves
An order once thought preordained
—entropic and indwelt
(The New Room: August, 2023)
Unbelievable, unseen;fall of a nation
Stocks rise and sink,no soul dare to work
We blame countries for our thirst of the dollar
As recession baffles the minds
A world of covid~19, the strands linger
The people scare to breath
Governments fall, corruption all way to society choice
Where be US as a nation except what we allow
Hatred, building even stronger than years past
A constitution just as well to treason your act
Future, what say ye'who is without Christ
That walls tumble, sickness spread among the land you travel
Even of yourselves I am sicken
A world of devastation and destruction
Future? I think not we kill ourselves
Even in heart as the blood spills
World falling off a board,on edge of living
Existence merely to extinction
We, being who they say we are
Not of ourselves we live the steps we take
But of their choice they say it is ok
Slave today to mankind himself
Watching the world fall off a board
All our dreams and build merely dust
We crumble, from the board we fall
A new society we FAIL to exist
Father, don't ever let that cape fall off...
Vivid dreams...lucid dreams
Forever Wondering of what could've been
Had u taken the time to allow ur fatherly side to be...
Father I wish u could've stayed...
For this I strongly prayed...
Stayed and watched her blossom instead of running off until ur shoes had no bottom
You could've stayed and protected her instead of watching her be plagued...
Plagued by the disease of growing up without her father and letting men make her belief she had no other...
You are the one that opened up the door to the violence she suffers in silence.
You were meant to be her hero but instead ended up being drawn to the iron streets like Magnito,
Father wake up,
Sit up, step up, and beef up on that love you have inside...
For your daughter in you, she shall forever reside.
Quick, soul search before she leaves forever in that hearse...
Reveal that side, that they call soft...father don't let that cape fall off.
Too many years,
Did I sit,
Listening to my thoughts,
Festering maliciously,
Rapidly, Unnaturally,
Malice and Compassion,
To the severest degree,
Polar opposites however,
coexisting in me,
Too many years,
Silence was my ally,
Don't speak your feelings,
You become a thorn in their side,
Emotion becomes weakness,
Sentiment a burden,
How wrong I was,
As a young man in Berlin,
Too many years,
I pondered the trivial,
Driven to delusion,
On minuet details raising mundane questions,
Too many years,
Did I lose myself,
But this is my last year,
For my road ends here.
Girl, when we fall off of course
It is up to us to make things right
Let is talk things out
Instead of putting up with a fight
Clear communication
Will remove all of our dark clouds
We need to be cool and serene
And let love be found
