Premium Member Dont Ascertain When You Dont Know

Self knowledge equated to the encyclopedia
and perceived facts, products of personal reasoning
the efficacy of thoughts should not be questioned
and assumptions simply made real and absolute

Typical of such a thought stamps on convictions that
the banana and plantain are the same
a superior race surely exist
leg size has a great correlation with the male’s genital
the measure of one’s success is solely factored
in his accumulation of wealth
and money is the root of all evil.

This mindset can walk on hot coal just to prove these points
Columbus was the first European to visit the Americas
bulls are colour blind and bats are completely blind
women are subordinates to men
and a pure heart is one which covers its body from head to toe

This mind can even tear its clothes to rags
in displeasure to your opposition to issues such as
Sydney is Australia’s capital
the earth’s evolution is the cause of day and night
Africa is a country and its inhabitants exchange
morning greetings with the Lion and the Chimpanzee
and Neil Armstrong is the first human to journey into out space

Despite carrying the internet even to the dreams
and having global captions mixed with daily breath
assumptions such as these are nurtured
religiously, with rigidity and military acceptance
the biggest illiterate of the 21st century is one
who cannot learn, unlearn and relearn
so said Alvin Toffler, the Australian Educationist.
Oh sorry! The American futurist

Premium Member My Feelings Are Loud

A lot of ‘what ifs’ have made my mind snuffle
a missed chance to say something gets my extremities cold
it is obvious how my eyes gyrate to his gestures
everyone sees the chemistry but he wants it in hard cash
I love him, love him, love him! My heart in need of embrocation
accidentally, shopping in the same place, my throat goes inflamed
an hour of periodic stare at each other produces just a ‘hi’
what an ignorant moron and an annoying colt!
Love can just happen but I understand, it’s not completely divine
life would be hell’s backdoor if I’m not the eventual winner
we meet again, this time he’s in a mesmerizing Tuxedo
a clear derby match, my lungs jump out to hide under my feet
direct isn’t my thing, so I drive through the outerbelt
chipping the little paper in his pocket, inscribed with my number
his call twelve hours later captions “this is what I’ve been waiting for”.

Crash Out

Started crashing out 
With your picture on the dash
There’s no way I’m catching up 
blew my engine trying to get to you
I wasn’t fast enough
Should’ve read the captions huh
Should’ve kept a side piece to avoid the loneliness 
I ain’t get no answer trying to count on you 
It wasn’t adding up 
Hope you stay safe 
Ima stay dangerous 
I do the dash when i trip 
You ain’t hop out the whip 
You a crazy ass chick 
Im a fool trying to hit
When you pop out the mouth
I’m trying to give you a kiss
I do the dash when i trip 
You ain’t hop out the whip 
Miss me with that 
You ain’t getting  back 
I can’t count on nobody 
Blue faces green fifties 
After the bag till it’s with me 
The world could get tricky 
I pour my heart with some henny
Why these people don’t like me
They always trying to fight me
They know where to find me 
It’s always what I say 
It boils down to what I sow
Get me off speaker 
Tweaking out my destiny 
Hang up the phone
Popping out your mouth 
Our sex is something
like a ritual 
Love me for who I am 
And not for my potential

Sitting in my study room

Sitting in my lovely study room and confined to an arm chair in a lonely afternoon, 

Clearing the dense leaves and through the passages the retreating rays come from the tired and sleepy Sun. 

It touches discriminately my different body parts through smooth and kind submission, 

My books with three dimensional printing reflect the parallel beams and cause variable scattered emissions. 

The crystallographic effects are touching the eyes and create a vibrant picture in my  brain with numerous hidden captions. 

I am still in the rigid desk watching these beautiful resonating images without blinking,

 But unfortunately I have to leave and become mobile to join a gathering for felicitation.

Lipstick and pinned up hair and filters

Lip stick and pinned up hair and filters. Pouting and peace signs. Toilet selfie and different floral dresses, the flowers unfurled and colours of passion. Forced expressions and emoji captions. This is what I see on social media. 

Who can tell what is real about it, all the girls look the same and they look like girls. They go to the same coffee shops which are all equally unique and similar. They snapchat and show that they are social. The projections are their ideal I suppose and also their tangible reality. I don't know any of them. I met a lot of people in my life but I don't know the people in these photos. I feel disconnected. 

I feel like they are trying to tell me something, or the world, or tell their world something. Show all their followers how they are active and free and happy and living and beautiful. Is this a paradox, living in a projection that you control and eliminating your whole self for these moments. 

Did you want me to think about you? Do you want to be seen? All I see is lipstick and hair. I don't know you and that makes this feel intrusive. Why are you in my thoughts? You post photos of your friends, I don't know who they are, all I see is lipstick and hair. 

Yeh maybe she is hot, and I do like that guys jacket. I was just passing the time pressing the screen of this phone which is a mystical portal to the world, my magical glass ball. 

I don't normally pay attention to you. I am usually spending more time on my own projection, but I guess I noticed you today. It was the lipstick, and you had your hair pinned back. I would say hello, if I could remember your name.


Premium Member Amos Great Aunt P's Magical Dog

My Great Great Aunt Prissy had a magical dog. 
She never needed friends but she did have a blog. 
Her acquaintances were thrilled with her pix 
Of a talking dog with costumes so thick 

She would put hilarious captions under the blog 
Stating the words came from her magical dog 
A border collie with a mad sense of humor 
We all laughed, thinking she had a brain tumor 

My Great Great Aunt Prissy made her dog famous. 
When she passed we fought over who got her dog Amos 
By then he was up to six million hits every day 
Advertisers were eager to throw money his way 

I drew the long straw and took Amos home gladly 
He was mouthy, a diva, and spoke his voice gladly. 
A magical dog loving his own fans and gobs of hype 
He is standing over me now watching me type 

Criticizing my English, correcting my grammar. 
Laughing at my mistakes in a belligerent manner. 
Great Aunt Prissy’s sassy confident magical dog 
No longer has a following, friends or a blog.

Premium Member An Elegy for TikTok: My Battery is Low and it’s Getting Dark

I close my eyes, and the FYP still flickers.  
A faint grid overlays my internal vision:  
profile icons, captions crawling sideways,  
the heart button pulses in phantom rhythm.  

Swipe—  
an old video appears unbidden,  
a raccoon washes a grape to a looped remix  
of something I don't need to name.  
Even in its absence,  
the feed remembers me.  

I catch myself waiting for a voiceover  
to narrate my steps to the fridge,  
for text to appear above the sink:  
POV: you’re hydrating, finally.  

Ads linger in the margins,  
selling me things I didn't know I needed—  
silicone spatulas, trauma therapy,  
a sense of being seen  
for $19.99 plus shipping.  

Swipe again—  
and there’s nothing to catch me now.  
The app’s gone dark,  
yet its framework remains,  
ghost-phoned into my muscle memory:  
flick, pause, scroll, double tap.  

I try to think of something else,  
but the burn-in is stubborn.  
I see viral dances in my peripheral vision,  
imagine a soundbite stitched with my mind's eye.  
Somewhere, a raccoon still washes its grape.  

In the space where connection once was,  
only the wanting remains—  
a phantom architecture of edges  
that once built something real  
from the chaotic communion of sharing 
oneself and seeing the same in return.  

What do we do with the framework  
when the picture’s gone?  What do we make 
of the void now that we know its name?

Premium Member Mind Museum

Sad the heart 
sick the mind
from world 
of commotion
retiring
its past reliving
motionless drifting
to skeletons 
of mind museum
odorless images
soundless captions
spirit of senses
still pricking
its heart 
joy seeking
switching from 
dreaming
to present of gadgets 
unhealing
blowing away walls  
breathing out
relics
dropping its shoes 
of backward 
living
raising its heels
that present
kept hidden
running barefoot
to the forest 
for healing
where weeds 
grow seeds
untouched by mower
flowers 
pure fragrance
perspiring
petals unfold 
true colors
unseen
like love 
that's pure
because hidden
brooks flow gently
accompanying songs
of birds like treasure
in green hidden
each moment 
the forest 
renews itself 
perpetuating life
by giving 
with rains
and sun milk
its body
God feeding
its spirit by seeding 
continuing
dependence
with patience
togetherness
teaching
God's
unifying love
revealing.

Premium Member Smart Ruby Red Glasses

Old ruby glasses
warmed the world to match my wish,
softened every edge.
Staining the panes guilty red,
with light beaming inside me.

I don smart glasses
to smooth away awkward things
with bright white captions—
names, prices, warnings, labels—
until all is declared shamed.

Yet nothing has changed.
The older glass and new code
serve the same old eye.
persuade the incoming light
to return what it answered.

A tree becomes mine:
memory, fear, weather, want,
all falling on it.
The lens never changed the tree;
The bark shows my fingerprints.

Once I took them off.
The world refused to explain
itself to my eyes.
It had yet to find an eye
that could see without glasses

The Mane Event - On The Catwalk


The Mane Event - On The Catwalk

And now for something completely different! I invite you to experience this unique blend of music, where this dynamic video brings to life the essence of anthropomorphism, in an entertaining portrayal, highlighting creatures with human-like traits - a total figment of my fertile imagination.

Meet a lion 'With Attitude' so regal and fierce, as he prowls and sets the 'Catwalk' ablaze with his mighty roar, leaving a trail of awe, admiration and respect of the other jungle animals, and capturing the hearts of the lionesses. It's an auditory and visual feast, playing with themes of royalty, bravado, and humour. 

Step into the vibrant spectacle of a jungle runway, 'The Mane Event'- On The Catwalk, a Blues Rock anthem bursting with charisma and wit, entertained by an elegantly dressed animal band and set to the gritty and soulful sounds and combines electric guitar riffs with stomping beats and deep, smoky vocals, inspired by iconic figures like the MGM lion. It combines realism with playful, cartoon-like elements set in a fantastical realm.

How does this bold and cheeky lion 'With Attitude' resonate with you? Could you see him becoming a legend on the animal runway?
