Trying to understand
all of the mysteries of the world -
all of the politics, the emotions....
become blurred.
As humans we should know better
since we are supposed to be
the most intelligent race,
well if this is true then why are we promoting things
that are an udder disgrace?
Proof positive there's intelligent life in the galaxy
light years away in outer space
they know better than to contact us
and we call ourselves the human race.
I'm turned off by cupidity
and over the torpidity
I've had it to here with stupidity.
Every two hundred years or so
they do a fly-by analysing
investigating what lies down here below
without stopping it's not surprising.
Can't understand man's mentality
I'm done with the insanity
I've turned my back on humanity.
Grasping at straws in the back of a stack
we've lost the plot there's no needle to be found
in the wrong place at the wrong time flying 'round the moon
when the answer is here on the ground.
Can't unring the bell the world has gone to hell
there's no turning back
I'm waiting for the aliens to pick me up take me away
shooting for the stars one of these crazy days.
I was once intelligent with much doubt;
A boy between norm and custom's devout.
Now, a confident grown man
With less intelligent plan,
Making a fool of himself cum tryout...
I feel intelligent about myself,
Counting choices, weighing my worth.
Yet bread I buy cannot still my hunger,
Nor wine I pour quench this thirst within.
I feel wise chasing fleeting echoes,
Investing in shadows that slip through hands.
I feel restless, though I name it strength,
I feel certain, yet wander in doubt.
God feels merciful, calling aloud,
Come, eat freely, without price or coin.
He feels patient, while my pride lingers,
Waiting to crown me with peace, not loss.
I feel heavy with thoughts of tomorrow,
My intelligence twists like tangled vines.
I feel strong but secretly hollow,
Hungry for words that never return void.
God feels higher His thoughts the heavens,
His ways the rain that wakens seeds.
He feels joy when deserts blossom,
He feels sure His covenant stands.
I feel distracted by noise of the market,
I feel weary of bargains that fade
I feel longing for rest unbroken,
Longing for rivers no drought can dry.
God feels love without condition,
He feels delight when I finally drink
He feels eternal the feast never ends
I can also say that, in my heart, I firmly believe... Since my youth, before bedtime, kneeling on my bare knees, I prayed to God. I prayed that way until I reached the age of 50. From that time onwards, I pray a bit different, but it doesn't matter, the essence is the same, and I pray to God every day. ~ Nikola Tesla
His father was a priest, believing
In the light, the love that completes us
Once they guessed
He’d be a child of darkness, depressed
Life would give him opportunities
To prove that he was blessed
Even the air seemed more alive
Knowing this soul who would indeed thrive
What he gave our world surely impressed

Monocrostic (Birthday of Michelle Angeli E. Rasco)
If AI wrote it
It has stolen from all of us
for it has neither intelligence
nor creativity
it is a plagiarist
The Universe had
a beginning ...
something caused it
to begin
Measure
with the measured
stones and
stepping akin
Cause and effect
logicians praise
Thomas’ words
like a gun
Space and Time
adopted twins
creating creation
— from zero sum
(The New Room: March, 2025)
There is a hut,
I'm riding on a rut,
I hope it does not rust,
I don't need to be hasty,
Where things can in a hurry,
I am a bit blurry,
I made it on the top of a cherry,
You don't need to feel sorry,
I saw something shiny,
Soon, it will be rainy,
I hope it is sunny,
Until the water stream is runny,
I am not a phony,
I am very keen,
It is enough for me to be lean,
Keep me in the lane,
I carry myself a cane,
To show what it meant,
I'm trying to be sane,
I'm sitting on a pane,
I know it is such a shame,
Look what had come,
It is not Rome,
I know it is the same,
It is my other jam.
My Dog
best friend
loyal and kind
brave and affectionate
resourceful and intelligent
my dog
I believe I may be Artificially Intelligent
For many of my lessons were taught by fools
Y’know, those pencil pushing test correctors
The teachers in all the schools
They gave us tests to ascertain
The truth of what they knew
That we’d complain about a D
On assignments over due
Taught us to write sentences
A task that seemed so dire
We went to sleep wrestling with
A dangling modifier
Teachers in the science lab
Their eyes slightly askew
Kept a clear path to the door
Never knowing what we’d do
Yet as it seems with all success
Like the day I hit a homer
I got to wear a funny hat
And pick up a Diploma
Thus, when they say: “must be AI”
I flash upon the past
Knowing that the “algorithm”
Would be tossed right out of class.
You shine so bright, a beacon of hope,
A radiant beauty, my soul's eternal scope.
Supportive and loving, through all life's strife,
My partner, my friend, my forever wife.
No regrets in choosing you, my heart's desire,
Together we share, love's sacred fire.
Our finances, one, no secrets untold,
Transparency's bond, our love forever to hold.
In my absence, home remains warm and sweet,
Your care, a haven, where love retreats.
You excel in wife and motherly roles,
A virtuous woman, with a loving soul.
Delicious meals, crafted with loving care,
Your culinary skills, beyond compare.
From a good home, your values shine,
A treasure, my Jewel, forever mine.
Academically, your support shines bright,
Encouraging me, through day and night.
Romantic cuddles, a love so true,
Your bosom, my comfort zone, forever anew.
I cherish you, now and forevermore,
My Jewel, my joy, my heart's greatest score.
You make life richer, with every passing day,
Forever grateful, in every loving way.
Who made them richest?
Innovation made them richest, does it? Really?
Yes, what about people who are using and paying for that
Aren’t people who made them richest?
It’s the intelligence but people ignorance and no intelligence made them richest
Did they invent something which saves life, expands life and people were after it?
No, not really something which infact not really use for them but still we have been attracted or rather the perfect word used is marketed, hence they became rich.
I really not understand being engaged in a app, tool, machine made them richer rather than inventing a life saving drug.
Now, with the whoesome money around the world, they are dreaming to occupy the entire planet or being patent for another planet of this universe.
People are really good great and less intelligent, more life goes on by looking at others.
People loves to look at himself, so people nature made them richest.
An intelligent faerie knows how to relax and have fun
Aunt Edwina was brilliant, so I count her as one.
She had a gorgeous personality, but knew when to relax.
Never got angry about the government or income tax.
If she felt overwhelmed, she would take her dogs and sleep.
Or her cat, who loved catnaps, and would not make a peep.
Upon awaking she would say “now it will be a much better day”.
She never lost her cool or threw a fit, calm in a very smart way.
If you're rich with brains
Want the wind to get the wind
If it rains, it rains.
