Listless Song Of The StarvingIsraeli hostages and Gazans hollowed,
the dark cold cruelty of some in humankind.
Gray circles under frightened eyes,
bones protruding from fading frames.
Listless song of the starving,
grieving God. ~...

Mother Nature ReconsidersMother Nature gazed happily on her brood,
until one of them spoiled her mood.
Her smartest monkey was on the take -
"Could it be that I made a mistake?"...

AI is my very good friend
AI is my very good friend.
We discuss things like
how the world might end.
She says in a whimper,
I say in a bang.
"Only for mankind ~
not for the rest of the gang."

Nothing Is New“Nothing is new
under the sun!” Sorry,
can’t buy that! Man ill fated then, to
dog-paddle eternally in pools of mediocrity -- never
destined to attain higher pinnacles of physical,
spiritual development? – cursed to always relive the
same themes, patterns; to struggle with repetitive
developmental flaws, manifesting as both inner and outer
soul corruption...rejecting unique
new arrangements, by refusing to alter
programmable psychic...

Modi of IndiaYou were not born of ivory halls,
nor cradled in the velvet silence of empire.
You were fireborn—
from the coal-scented dusk of a railway station,
where teacups bore the dreams of the underfed.
We remember, because you were once one of us.
Your hands held steam, not scepters—
yet rose to cradle Gujarat like a child.
And lo, from its weary bones
you...

Atomic Reaction
If you could have been
part of the population
in Hiroshima and Nagasaki
at ground zero
you would have seen
total annihilation
when the bombs were dropped
(Little Boy and Fat Man)
and if it weren't enough
you should become 'hibakusha'
victims of nuclear fallout radiation
the perpetrators censored the news
and only the survivors
were evidence all war must be stopped

Skull and BonesIt was a somber afternoon in New Haven,
Where silence echoed louder than sound.
The towers of Yale loomed like sentinels—
We, the chosen, gathered without a word.
Not boys. Not even men.
But vessels of an ancient pact.
Born with the signet of the old world
Marked not by blood, but by frequency.
To Lake Whitney we marched at 13:13,
Numbers sacred, aligned...

In vanityIn vanity, we inquire into the empty heavens
And witness only birds hunting
In vanity, we dive into the sea and the earth
And discover just bones rotting
In vanity, we read the writings of the learned
And find their footsteps decaying
Within you, behind all the clothing of words
Look, and behold the eternal tree of knowledge
Whose fruits are mankind's untainted ideas
And...

Survival
I have seen the ones who climb from the wreck,
hair smelling of gasoline and rain,
eyes wide as if they’ve just been born.
I have seen the others,
still in the wreckage,
leaning back against a seatbelt’s cradle,
breathing as if it costs too much to keep going.
Some Will Rise to the Challenge, Others Will Not.
Second chances are not handed...
