Premium Member Holy Horse-Dung

   
   The Milky Way is full of stars
      Highway 95, full of cars
   Cigarettes are full of tar
      Tuna fish comes in a jar

   I despise tuna, How ‘bout you
       Its smell upsets my stomach too
   Which is nothing new
       ‘cos I hate salmon too

   What you are reading is neither inspirational
       Nor is it sensational
   As opposed to being aspirational
       It is more like – desperational 

   Perhaps needing a manicure
       and, of course, a pedicure
   Hell, it’d improve with an old fishing lure
       For frankly, this poem is 
          ~ 99 and 44/100ths horse manure


     Critics' Corner:

       ~ I could smell this one coming.  Wolf's usually full of hot gas. 

       ~  A poem that should just shrivel up and die. 

       ~  To compare this to a turd would be to degrade the turd

Premium Member Poetic Podcast Episode 49 Bop

Software that’s deployed incomplete, 
we are expected to go with the flow. 
Agile is supposed to put people first? 
I’m looking at a slew of burnt out staff.
Expectations without the proper tools,
I’m not really a fan of looking like a fool. 

I am here to file a corporate complaint,
right now before it’s too late. 

The patrons who choose our business 
notice the consistent inconsistencies. 
Drops, outages, and all flavors of ‘Fail’ 
are not supposed to be commonplace. 
Piling on more the experts won’t survive, 
nothing will be left of a fine tuned skillset.
Quality or quantity? An ancient argument.
There is a line I fear we have crossed. 

I am here to file a corporate complaint,
right now before it’s too late. 

Junk-bait replaced an aspirational brand.
Is that what we are destined to say? 
Well I’ll be damned if I let master class die.
Trash is trending and we have a reputation. 
Flexible doesn’t mean sacrifice soundness. 
I don’t ever want to hear ‘Remember when..’

I am here to file a corporate complaint,
right now before it’s too late.

Bound to form, habituated to conditioned patterns of experiential thought and aspirational imagination interpreting sensory signals, yet recognising the inherent limitation of such stuporous indulgence, awareness gradually unshackles itself from these narrow fetters, embracing the omnipresent life pulse in an unbroken flowing continuum. Hollowed out form, empty and magnetised, imbibes the divine elixirous currents, automatically & osmotically assimilating the soma nectar into each pore of being, in a manner as ordained. There is no doer and thus no doing, the divine being the mover facilitating blossoming, awareness in witness mode, simply looking at boundaries between form & formlessness merging, into an unending wave of ecstasy in motion.

Who comes and who goes
No one here save pure presence
Vaporised as bliss

Phil the Tech Enthusiast

There once was a tech enthusiast,  
Name of Phil, and in him an obsession did persist.  
It was with his laptop that he couldn't part  
And so he took it, truly, everywhere he'd start.  

In meetings, at school, and even in the loo  
The laptop never went off, no matter what he'd do.  
He called it his wife, with love and a smile  
Said it kept him going, every day a new mile.  

Late at night, you'd see Phil's face aglow  
As he worked on his laptop, with no desire to go  
To bed or to rest, for work was all he'd know  
As he typed away, letting his ideas flow.  

But it wasn't just work, it was about knowledge too  
He surfed the web, acquiring new skills in all he'd do  
From cooking to carpentry, he wanted to learn  
All while maintaining his core tech focus with every turn.  

People close to him, they knew him well  
And they knew, wherever he went, his laptop he'd sell  
His devoted companion, his trusty friend  
On whom he could always rely in the end.  

And yet, in his mind, it was more than mere attachment  
It was a tool, a means for his advancement  
In the world of tech, and in life as a whole  
He longed for success, to reach his aspirational goal.  

In one hand Phil held his laptop tight,  
In the other, a hot cup of coffee for the night.  
They were the perfect companions, through thick and thin  
Simply inseparable, like a twin.  

People often wondered, would he ever break away?  
From the glimmering screen, that kept the world at bay  
But Phil knew what he needed, and it wasn't far  
Reaching new heights, reaching for the star.  

Here's to the tech enthusiasts, out there in the world  
With their laptops by their sides, always unfurled  
For passion and drive are what make us who we are  
So let's keep typing away, reach for the next bar.

let's remember, as we type away each day,  
That our laptops are more than just screens in a way  
They're part of our journey, what makes us unique  
A reflection of our drive, our purpose, our mystique.

So let us salute Phil, for his drive and his heart  
To chase his dreams and let his obsession play a central part  
For in this digital age, and in all that we pursue  
Our laptops are not mere gadgets, but a part of our soul too.

Whats Your Poison Slam

Let me begin by saying
Personally i am Pro-Choice
Its your life live it as you see fit

Who am I to tell you what to do ?

So what I am about to say 
I know in reality is hypocritical 
And only a personal opinion
Make of it what you will

Everyone has and is entitled to their own opinion

But for me I wish more than anything 
Children would be allowed to be Children

My heart sinks when I see young Girl's 
Caked in make-up , fake tan dressed up
Going to School

The fact that children are being told
Sex and gender is a choice 
And children are expressing their sexual preference 
When they shouldn't even know anything about sex
Let alone express a preference 

If you are old enough cast your mind back
And ask yourselves this question 
Were you worried about any of this
Or just having fun playing and growing up
With your friends 

Life is full of choices
But Nature and Natural order should not be 1 of them 
How the hell is a child to know what he or she wants 
When they are 10

What kind of mixed signals are we teaching young girl's 
If we dress them up telling them beauty is a path
Then expect them to be well adjusted and aspirational 

Teach acceptance 
And beauty can't be painted on
And that a Daughter 
Is equal to a Son

Come on People
If we want to be equal
Then let children be children
And stop telling them what they can and can't do

They can make their own choices 
When they are old and wise enough
When they are done playing


Premium Member Where Are We Headed

Hello there, oh glowing one 
Radiant in resplendent light
We see you have travelled far
In as of course vibrationally
Nestled in a cocoon of bliss
Speckled by the elixir divine 
Emitting soothing fragrance 
Wafting across the inky void
Dwelling in a dome of delight

Oh dear one, this joy exalted
Aspirational as also laudable
Is it as yet suffused with love
Awakened from erst passivity
Selflessly choosing self-exile
Descending into gross realms
Where demonic fears haunt
Despondent souls in darkness 
For if not, dear heart, reflect

We delight at your splendour 
Glimpsed by periscope vision
Yet what avail transcendence
Which yets nurtures the ego
Transfixed in bliss thunderous
That is held captive in a shell
Shared not among all brethren 
Of what use are yogic powers
If not energised by love divine

Love within in our heart knows
How compassion slowly grows

Beatitudes For The Silent

Beatitudes for the Silent 

Beatitudes for the ailing hearts 
Gratitude for those who have been there from the start 
Attitude from those who are willing to depart 
Platitudes for those who just want to seem smart 

Commendations for those who aren’t competing for validification 
Inspiration on offer for she who is looking for elation 
Co-modification of a profiteering person who is subverting the situation 
Simplification of a narrative that is too complex for pronunciation 

Limitations of my mind in terms of articulating conceptual theories 
Imitations of mankind by artificial intelligence seems quite dreary
Complications of the refined while I am discarding Timothy Leary 
Invocations of the defined as all this contemplation makes me weary 

Overpopulation is ironic as we sit there isolated 
Aggravation feels moronic as they can’t see the facts that have been stated 
Admiration for the iconic statements that seem complicated
Defamation for the sardonic who seem to be elated 

Aspirational implications for those in surplus of self belief 
Exasperation for the rumination that propels you toward grief 
Adaptational genetics of innovation that make you exclaim in disbelief 
Congregational phonetics that have been designed by mischief

Resigned to fate I must deliberate on more contentious topics
Designed to hate the human race is self centred and myopic 
Defined by love in some debates while writing a biopic 
Inclined to state the truth I look for concentration that’s symbiotic

Premium Member Pioneer of Propaganda

Well! sycophantic misanthropist, verbose agitator of spite
Club footed whore master, couldn’t goose step for his life
Malicious propagandist, spreading hatred in every breath
His wife willing disciple, poisoned their 6 children to death 

Demanding patriotic nationalism, big speech carcinogenic
Snickers in vehemence, sardonic grin, genocidal eugenics 
Never dirtying his hands, an aryan superstar, not by blood 
Master race aspirational, looks into the mirror then shrugs

Doctor of nihilistic supremacy, swearing hypocritical oaths
5 ft 4” gigantic paradigm, inferiority complex, slow growth 
Promising victory up to the last, faithful to his fuhrers flag
Cowers from nearby artillery, blasting Swastikas into rags

Hiding amongst his sewer rats, goes insane down a bunker 
Mixing morphine with champagne, to alleviate going under 
Saved the best cocktail for last, cyanide and bullet casings 
Fitting end to crawling malaise, and cockroach infestations.

Premium Member class of 25

If freshman year was aspirational
and sophomore year was unhinged
junior year was put up or shut up
and senior year is a dash to the finish line

This year’s on fast forward—and it’s for keeps
every to-do list has value-laden questions
things seem sharp edged, single use and intense
it’s all about trajectories and ‘landing spots”

Let’s wax poetic..

Produce now, or spend fury on thyself—all else is untenable
we’re past youth and ignorance—your honour’s at stake

Suitors call you by name, like well-acquainted friends
they took your measure—you’re beyond the mark of others
they seduce with money—the future brings liberty and noble deeds.

So don the the garland and prove thyself—take the field
join the battle—now’s the reward—aidless, perpetual toil
with every motion be right, it’s thy shunless destiny.

Premium Member Always Aspirational

Look up, look up, so one can clearly see -
To change our world, we first must change our mind.
Up is best and it shall always be,
Hope in happiness, one is sure to find.

Basic injustices cannot make us one,
If true values should be driving our youth -
Equality alone can get this done.
Let us raise the bar we set for the truth.

It is the open mind that tends to engage,
Deceit is always dispensed by free will.
Then, the honest hearts will feel the real rage,
No reason now to abide a quiet quill.

As all earth is in flames, we reach higher,
Whoever believes in dreams, they must aspire!
