"They look at me with contempt,
Because I am from a foreign land,
a different guise.
But don't forget the thing:
We share the same genetic code,
In our heart 'n blood.
We are all brothers and sisters, all in one
Homosapiens beneath the same sun.
We are linked by threads of DNA,
So fine, a tapestry of life interwined.
Let's recognise our common spirit,
After all, we are all humans, breathing the same air.

Oh, when did evolution end
Or was it just a passing trend
That ran its course and then got worse
Or is it just a fading curse
For monkey’s would deny such kin
That say they are the root of men
For even the most vile Jackals
Ever put their foes in shackles
And yet these homosapiens
Claim they’re where evolution ends
That should there be a fall from grace
There’s nothing that could take their place
They have no clue the cats are waiting
And purring, mewing traps they’re baiting
Indoors, outdoors, all are feral
And “owners” all over a barrel
The fox is sly, the bear a brute
But kitty cats are oh so cute
And dogs, poor fools, will do as told
As long as kitty refills their bowls

Scientists say we have neanderthal genes,
and that set me to wondering
what all this interbreeding really means -
was it the result of rape and plundering?
The homosapiens made rocks into tools
and were smarter than neanderthals by half,
but neanderthals were willing to play the fools,
and she said, "he makes me laugh".

Seven second serendipitous develop
Macro piano keys maestro, Lord
Ceiling laden with citrus psychedelic
Unsatiated homosapiens flawed
Ghost film fire eye-socket negatives
Kaleidoscope rolls in their skulls
Soiree opaque pink sequin sedatives
Scintillate wicked sinful impulse
Protein hungry industry herds herbivores
Apex predator caves to serpent
Coveted control position consumes pure
Curious article of cruel torment
Sacred score smudged in blood punishes
Hell or Heaven editors insidious
Emit charcoal chuckles, lit match judges
Bicker Bible's pixels ambiguous
Dusk draws hills, halcyon skied silhouette
God made man strive in shadow
Modified paradise prints timely pirouette
Gluttony grabs hanging mangos

Lived eighty-five years, seen the good and bad
But it couldn't have been better, the time I've had
In spite of turmoil then and now
Made it through, don't know how
Us *****sapiens are survivors and a courageous band

There is no such thing as a white man,
or black man or mexican.
There is no such thing as an indian,
native american or asian.
There is only homosapiens,
the most intelligent A-hole specie in all creation.

I am a little Bookworm
I live inside a book
I wriggle
I writhe
I make humans beings squirm
For when they open up my book
They don’t expect to see a worm
How silly
these homosapiens
Do they not realize
My name is Billy Bookworm
and in a book I will reside
So next time you begin to read
and open up your book
Do not scream
Do not shout
What is all that noise about
Just gently turn each page to see
The sweetest bookworm
and that is me...

Spiritual and instinctive are words that describe my feelings when
I first meet homosapiens who I have never met before.
Sometimes inner warmth I feel, my psyche is serenely calm.
Instinctively I know our souls have met in previous lives.
Spiritually I feel unnerved in the presence of a person
whom I know does not present a threat, but somehow
feel them mar my soul and slither inside my head
These humans my soul repels or they will wreak havoc
Our spirits delineate lessons we’ve learnt living through each life
Developing our souls we are striving towards our final pinnacle

Buds are blossoming, fragrances are
spreading around, beautifications of
garden are enriching loving mind,
Petals are withering and dropping
down , fragrances have blown away
as the being of time.
Yet - Garden, the word carrels beautiful
scene in loving mind. Love, such as carries
the stainless happiest feelings in lovers mind.
Flowers are growing on the sense of pure
civilization but its chastity, its veins, its
bloods are ravished by insects and
brutal homosapiens!
Oh! This world invites cordially
those who has glare outside!
inside and outside- wish to
touch in one stride (life)
Come, and be closed with great Soul.
Love and feel how beautiful you are
with HIM
Love is lost on the riot of darkness in
stormy night of life but for tomorrow
morning the love hopefully will come
with morning shined breeze to touch
the graceful heavenly soul

Some say aliens inhabited the earth
Before homosapiens appeared
Pretty sure some are still living amongst us
Been running the country for years
Some of these yahoos are out of this world
With no correlation to reality
“We the people” was a great new idea
Though it surely dates back to antiquity
The patsies we are, we go with the flow
Don't rock the boat that's for sure
If only someone would stand up and yell
“We ain't gonna take it no more!”
At eighty-two, not too many years to go
Won't waste my remaining breath
Conserve it for much more important stuff
Like cheering on the Blue Jays till death
Some say aliens inhabited the earth
Before homosapiens appeared
Wish I could journey back to those times
But that would be totally weird

Yes, we are just five senses creature by birth,
But realize that we are here to lead a life on the earth,
Just like any other living being, we wish to be loved,
With all of our survival and hunger issues solved,
We stupids, don't understand your need for deforestation,
All we know is, it makes our siblings die out of starvation,
We all have a caring family like you homosapiens have,
Our chances of survival depends on how you behave..
A few cruel men, pelt stones at us for the sake of fun,
Some heartless people hunt us with a gun,
We beg you not to kill us for your food,
It is not that only mankind is made up of blood..
We were created only to have a short life span,
Show us mercy and let us live as long as we can,
Our sufferings drag us to hell which we can't withstand,
Maybe, we cry in a language that humans don't understand...

A role is fashioned for each of us homosapiens to portray
Though what if such a role ‘twas fashioned
by a fallacious organization of fabulists
Who decode billions of renditions of one monograph
for narcissistic purpose of monetary gain?
Naked fidelity shan’t be placed upon a hollow existence
Nor should verses be fibbed
Why can’t religion be real again?

Thrice a summer aphrodisia snickered in my face
Yesteryear the fog of boreal passion surfaced across my window frame
Omnifarious passions are surfacing
The insignificance of homosapiens stood the test of time
Life molests all of us, maul us, then sing us to sleep
Spiraling through dimensions decorated with brothels and strip clubs
Aging with the grains of pebble stones
Aphrodisia is a tourist

Homosapiens therein a state of sleep;
To truly rouse forth thereafter thier deaths?
Shall Sheperd say... He trusts they'd well sleep?
Life, a dream? They'll fathom post final breaths.

Fearless i go running in the night
barefoot on rich damp soil
stretching out my arms
in a cool wild flight
trees, they whisper in my ear_
dark wind on cold bare flesh i’m running
hot face, heart pounds
i feel the pull of a thousand years,
and the way things used to be
and then, i hear the call
you are here
the time is now
and all things are as they are
the time is now
and you are here
all things are all things
and, all is meant to be
flight faster than thought in this light moon night
as i slip between the bars
and i breathe the finest breath
homosapiens erect
moving, silently through the stars
you are here
all things are meant to be
the time is now
and all things are as they are
