Premium Member Facing the Book

Look but don't see! a new World is being made
its fabric is interwoven with a strength of inconsistency
It teaches in pre-schools that
Run from 9 am until 6 with
The children of other lost children who are
Called parents. 'Parents’. It’s a useful
Word!! in this useless world.
That has re-modelled and fetes the
Carnal old realities of blood
Lusting empires of Olympian
Depths.! Trans-ported to Roman orgies to be impressed upon its young captives as their elders run the gamut of ‘endless hours in a
A bean counters paradise.'
Dealing with the cobbled together mantra of consumer ideologies as false idols strut across energy
Wasting screens there are wars, wars on waste wars on want, on pollution, on many many things. These are the
Rumours! also there are real wars
There are earthquakes famines but the end is not yet! viruses in the computers
A virus on the flesh, upon the
Men, who have become lovers of themselves.

Extinction

The crust which formed 4 billion years ago,
Only came at the extinction of the molten,
And the microbial mat fossils keenly found
From 3.48bn years ago, came from graphite! 

Over 99% of all known species are extinct,
Vital life is just a specification of yourself,
You will influence others for better or worse, 
Life is ours and not god’s to mould or sculpt. 

Those who are by you truly most inspired,
Will inevitably become strong, bit like you,
To supersede, to survive in another’s place,
Such that humankind is becoming better.

Speciation by niche events is very beautiful,
It codes life by behaviour and not by speech,
Inherited genes are based on action, deed, 
Rather than on religious articulations devious.

Mass extinction is not normal, ending comes
To every species of any kind in every society:
Up to half of today’s plant and animal species,
Will be extinct by 2100 without question, doubt. 

Death is ok, universal, and happens to us all,
It’s normal, and from it comes something good:
From death’s non-entity, speciation happens,
Which allows life’s structures to flow vibrantly.

Evolution does not exclude anyone, no one,
Not the week, not the disabled, not a starfish,
Every individual’s struggle and pride matter, 
And the fit, moral, are modelled and mimicked.

Subterranean Homesick Blues Again

Dan's on the mezzanine 
asking where the mayor lives 
I'm on the dole line, 
wondrin bout conservatives 
The man with the leg cramps 
boot camps wheel clamps 
says they cut his food stamps. 
Look out son, 
he’s packin a gun: 
God knows why 
Pat Boone, full moon 
someone's gonna die soon. 

Del's on welfare, 
Donald Trump is real pissed: 
give 'em all health care? 
What are we? Socialists? 
Thinks I'm Harry Lime: 
street crime, sub-prime, 
now you're working part-time. 
Look out boy, 
you're only a goy: 
don't revere teachers, 
don't obey no preachers. 

Jen's on Fox News 
talkin bout the bank crash 
wanna get some real views? 
What about the trailer trash? 
Read about Goldilocks 
Botox bobbysocks 
modelled by Amanda Knox. 
Look out, Joe, 
you're spoiling the show. 
Don't watch features, 
don't dance in the bleachers. 

Get hired, get fired, 
get rich, get stitched, 
get tired, get wired, 
get hitched, get ditched. 
They got the cops at backstop, 
Al Gore keeping score 
'tween the Poors 
and Dirt-Poors, 
'tween the Haves 
and Have-Mores. 

John Wayne's vanished. 
He's off to learn Spanish.

Thumbs Up To The Journey

At the footbridge as it bridges past from present future and perspectives your
feet might be-come and may be-go confused be-fuddled as can your mind before
the shadows rainbows feathered fancy pastel tunes and blues-bound colours
can memories anticipation taking-stock ooze pots and lots of lived experience
re-scribed re-told rewound projected narrated from emotive thoughts 
                                       stand still

At the bridge as it cradles the canyon with ladles and measures of the moment
where it spans what once was what you enrich in here and now not there and then the sweeping meadows fields of harvest schisms unions paradigms evaluations can treasures scary scars letting-go liberate scents and stents of living fragrance perceived untold configured touched upon stocked up condensed          
                                       reflected wait

The past is yet to come and not withstanding what bridge which side what size
and whence long gone remembrance spins and spans and slows and speeds the motion the sunrise dusk and dawning tapestry mosaic photographic lens sensations can truth reality attitudes and imperfections find soul and solace shared solitude re-modelled shaped anew confronted soothed harmonised 
                                       accentuated rise

The future has arrived and has been long projected and the past is living on
where they settle and sizzle on in ember’s glory and ashes to ashes and Phoenix in flight when horizons and boxes un-boxed wriggling worms preceding grave graves can joy pleasure senses and sexes passion peace human works of art in progress accepted invited challenged unchallenged channelled welcomed 
                                       gratitude prevail

At the foot-bridge at the mind-bridge where it bridges cradles sweeps your meaning brushes and jungles juggles and wonders which hand’s intuition which path to follow lie the answers to the questions asked lie the questions known and 
                                       not yet explored

Robotic

Robotic


Silver tears fall from robot eyes;
The hole for a heart has broken wires.
The love we used to feel?  I have removed those files.
Robotic people lead robotic lives.


Delete memories to give us more memory space;
The undistinguished face is factory made.
Modelled in clay; repeat again.
Another body, with another face; we are all the same.


Robotic people live robotic lives.
Work for the master for nickels and dimes.
Programmed to function, incapable of lying;
Programmed to self-destruct at the end of our time.


Watching people go by, living ordinary lives;
They are not the robot I see in the reflection 
And they seem to be doing just fine.
Dreams of former lives never remembered in this mind;
I am robotic, but I pay it no mind.


Heartless and constant, I am becoming less than I should;
Infected files corrupt us from the inside, 
When we were only trying to feel good.
Love is just data, magic does not exist; it is just a pretense.
The formula to the equation of my very own existence.


The failure of a maker who brought me into this world;
I am strong on the outside, but inside I am fetal.
Empty of emotion, now I have lived this life;
I see ordinary people living exotic lives,
But I am a robotic being and I cannot experience a true smile.


Nothing behind the eyes to show a real emotion;
I am just a robotic person; I am just in need of a function.
I am lost without romance in this web of confusion;
Robotic people lead robotic lives and I am living in slow motion.

The Broken Circle

The ring was a circle that was meant to never end
Symbolising love of an intimate partner and friend
And when the meaning quickly breaks, the symbolism fades
Fragile trust fled by careless mistakes made

Farewell to the circle, it's symbolism has departed
The presence of uncertainty is the new meaning that started
No longer worn tightly with contentment and smiles,
For wounds will inevitably resurface in a while 

And I no longer wait for the warmth in your eyes.
For the broken element has forced me to be wise
And the cosying, the cuddling I waited dearly for
I let go of because for you it was a chore

Stay silent when criticised was your parents' way
Through you it creeped into our circle and stayed
It infested our union, and stained our growth
It slowly eroded the promise of our oath

I share no accountability for the coping mechanisms you chose 
I role modelled to communicate during smiles and woes
We were taught to communicate with words not hands
But the benefits were not something you could fully understand

The choice was always yours, to respond and not react
What followed was shaped by what you chose to enact.
I never taught you that emotions should always be swallowed 
But your father's role modelling was what you ultimately followed

I learned that a home should be peaceful and kind
For communicating would have brought us peace of mind. 
And one day my children, when older and wise,
May ask why our story was such a demise 

I'll tell them with honesty, but never with shame,
That love should bring safety, not scars and pain.
They'll know that forgiveness and patience was a strength
But even patience will one day reach the end of its length

I'll teach them that love doesn't silence nor frighten,
That love doesn't break you but makes you feel lightened
Farewell to the symbolism. It's meaning is deceased
Farewell to the circle. From it's meaning I am released

Falsity

Fittingly hallowed gods must intrinsic majesty hold.
Even before deities invoked weigh the caller's case,
The deity's potent title should alone spell the balm,
And tint with nourishing grace the supplicant's face. 

Woe justly betides gods modelled by mortal skill,
Conjured to define the worshiper's creative spans.  
True deity outdoes their adherent's most avid drill,
And defeats most faithful admirers' keenest scans. 

If while engaged they varied ethereal trends display,
But when left alone they silent and unbothered stay;
You already got there a freaking raw deal indeed:
You're the mighty guy your own-made gods need! 

The worshiped must by heart the worshiper know,
And both will ever commune as if by infallible law.
It’s the supreme being mightily seeking the follower,
Who grasps it well and submits to the bigger power. 

It’s a fake god if it bends to suit whimsical desire, 
Or at once plays into your infinite imaginative fire!
