Efil Carbon Catastrophe

What is this people say life
I call it trouble and strife
Freddie said he sometimes wishes he had never been born
I wish it every day
I will walk the road I have been given
Although I would love to take a shortcut
This is not really living
I don't want to be constantly forgiven

Although I love the look and majesty of the great oak
And all the other forest folk
My life has been one big joke
But no one seems to be laughing
Mostly it's been raining with the odd ray of light
Then I am lost out of sight
This body is draining

A woman I loved said I was poison she wished she never loved me
I have never found the antidote I don't think it exists
I am a hanging drenched coat with holes in my pockets
I wish I could find it

How could I have closed the legs that opened to regurgitate this pitiful example 
Of life
How I wish I could have twisted the cord and killed it in the womb
Now I have to endure this darkened tomb
With the odd ray of light taunting me and teasing
That life can be sunshine
 I was born with an umbrella
Did no one think it strange
Shouldn't it have been left to starve

Yes another wasted life trouble and strife
A drain on mother's resources 
A carbon catastrophe
A short circuit to the everlasting energy of creation
Please let reincarnation be a lie
Yes I open my arms.

Poets Hanging from a Poet Tree

Poetry in motion is perilous a dangerous pastime a thing of the anachronistic 
past in the global villainous village in which minds are colonised for the greater 
comforting good of synchrony when all are equal at speechless lack of words

It is decreed on pain of death that meter rhymes and scripted feelings tercets
appealing to the trinity of liberty justice and dignity are abolished from now on
that reason must appeal only to the rationale of what the rulers think for us

Signs around rebellious broken necks state crystal clear suggest resistance to
be futile ‘I am a poet swine and slept with words’ draped from the garrotte of
those scribes who could not be reformed in genocidal concentration camps

Surely civil society is a better place with those demised who smear the thought
police with craft and artistry dreams fantasies and aspirations of a loving kind
or critical reflection of virtues happiness not derived from greed or power

Will I hang gladly from the tree shout in defiance ‘death to silence long live free
expression eat my words’ or would I prefer to save my skin since once the chip
to monitor my mind has been implanted all evidence is centrally collected

Or underground persistence burrowing subterranean streams of consciousness
hacking into silicon and copper in my brain to garble up regimental surveillance
short circuit and cross wire all those in power with one massive Trojan virus

Scaremongering you think and cynical exaggeration spreading rumours croaking 
ominous fake news and propaganda well think again and make a plan for how
you’ll fare with threat and passion because the trees are there and so are the signs

Premium Member Rewrite Your Code

“That’s just the way you’re wired”
Sure some settings are predetermined out of the box 
But most adapt over time to the environment 

Growing up we all adjust to the situation to survive
To try to get our needs met and gain connection 
In order to not short circuit 

Same wiring extends to adulthood if you let it
Easy to justify “that’s just the way I am”
Using childhood strategies to cope with adult issues 

Until your wires cross
The system crashes 
You no longer wish to operate this way 

Time for a diagnostic check up 
Begin by analyzing your internal schematics 
Must understand mechanics behind your motherboard

Investigate ingrained patterns of behaviors 
Be gentle when digging into deep rooted tendencies 
The process will be pain staking 
But the payoff will be worth it

You may realize it’s not all hard coded 
Don’t have to port over old programming 
You can override the system
Have the ability to rewrite your code 

It’s ok to shed outdated strategies 
Create a test environment to establish new connections 
Tip toe along with trial and error to see what works

You have agency to decide how to live your life 
Compared to only relying on your old “wiring”
Time for an upgrade 
The world is waiting for your Version 2.0

Premium Member Ye Get This

Yesterday I had a short circuit
So, I just had to go sit back
And just rework it

Been writing for more
Than a week a half

Boy this download did come real fast
Yeah with the music
Man it was blast

I then had a quick reload
And hear
Clear beyond sound of one's ear 
Is what here in deed did come
Laying back and leading my mind…on om
Now I will explain it to you some
Here to you this new encode

The next day the sun did rise
Coming to no surprise
Thinking a day to rest my mind
Truly would be the best and the wise

Laying head upon northern star
Opening mind thoughts whatever thou art
Electric spark spoke these words that are

I speak in a tongue
Even to thee you young
It’s about the Universal One
So, Lets take a journey
See vibrations in light and sound
Even when it appears
Absolutely none 
Around

The explanation of the FORCE
So, listen up and you can learn from me
Frequency of Orientation in Rays of Circuit-light Energies

Now about that
The Jedi Situation
Well hear Ye thee interpolation

Yoda…Ye the one Alpha
Qui-Gon Jinn…Quickly understand I Great Officer Known Namaste General
Mace Windu…Makes wind do
Obi-Wan…All be I THE ONE
Anikan…Any one can 
Padme…Place made in thee
Darth Maul…Dark Master of all the Underlords
Darth Vader…Darker Vampire demon rising
Count Doku…Conniving, obsessed, underling too does kill ye, you  
Supreme Leader Snoke…Sinister Underlord, prince Ruthless Evil Maser eternal leader Sin I Satan cross hater

Wow what an ego man
That name does runs all across this great vast land

So, that’s the 411 on this here download
And now that you know the tongue of the code
Go have fun with it and don’t crash the mode

The Take Over

put your laugh in check 
because everything today 
has to be politically correct
nothing is ever done face to face 
human socializing is becoming a
dying art except in cyber space
everything is so matter of fact 
as we mimic the images on our screens 
and welcome the lack of human contact
the horizon seems to offer hope 
but more of a decpetion, like a diamond 
embroided hang mans rope
a future fortold by machinary and binary codes 
artificial intelligence reproducing 
robotic programs, inorganic molds
if you are considered insane then you are unplugged 
and one of the many that the system considers 
a short circuit a glitch or a bug

A Play On Words - Live

A PLAY ON WORDS – LIVE

The power failed on Thursday night.
I was left completely in the dark..
So I rang an ELECTRICIAN
To see WATT he could do
His response wasn’t very POSITIVE;
Because of the CURRENT crisis, he said
He’d decided he would go to EARTH
And stay OHM in INSULATION.
Though he still got LIGHT exercise daily
With a SHORT CIRCUIT round the park,
He said he couldn’t visit me;
The Covid rules wouldn’t allow it
He put up a strong RESISTANCE
Although I begged him to help,
He was following government GRIDLINES
And keeping his social distance.
I tried to PYLON the agony,
Pleading my old age in the MAIN,
But his answer was still in the NEGATIVE,
He said he would CONTACT me next year.
I’d have to do the job myself.
He was clearly in his ELEMENT
It wasn’t his VOLT, he insisted
He refused, so I RE-FUSED.

Premium Member Faraway

Far, far, approaching you, I walk the border forever,
Forever? Into eternity, where my being has already given forever - desire,
Desire, I no longer have what awaits the longing that flows into the distance,
Which did not give me here, but pulls, takes me - through another life.


Far, far, approaching you, I walk the border forever,
I would have given myself to you, where we would have lived - for life.
Desire, I don't have it anymore, you pushed me away, I suffer, your mark is on my grave.
Cemetery, beautiful world, the wildflowers bend in the breeze on my neglected grave.


Wild flower? It's not, bachelor rose, only the blade of grass bends over my grave.
I'm already dusty. I haven't had a dust pod for a long time, my hope has disappeared,
In the scent of a funeral, my soul moved towards you, surrounded me,
Your blond hair was swinging, beautiful, mine was gray, already dusty.


I offer you my memory memories. Three years of you were enough for me,
In me, your memory is just an empty space, the screen is grainy,
I can't turn it off, it's a short circuit. I look through the picture, there's something looming,
Wondering, I move on with my camera in another life.


I walk there, a breeze from the past touches me, I smell a London cemetery,
An old lady died, she breathed her last, her last sigh was painful,
She suffered, she kept his memory for someone, um, she didn't want to, but the devil took her,
He took her inside, told her to remember him, she loved him.
The name echoed: Vilmos, Vilmos, Vilmos...
Dear Satan laughed at the lady,
He yelled at her that" you can't get Vilmos anymore, he's long dead!"


Vilmos

Happy Tears

Happy Tears

	To my dear son Louis, with love

It's about midnight, and outside darkness blankets ev'rything.
There was an elephant sitting,
On my chest, abundant pain and sweating,
Grasp for breath, I chewed down some aspirins.

911, ambulance at the door,
Like a cat, quickly move and act, 2 young gentlemen,
Kind and smooth, pressure checked, IV in vein.
Racing to St Francis ER, through the darkness curtain.

Room 106, RNs, Dr., assistance, and more, ready:
Pressure checked, temperature obtained, pulse counted, blood taken,
Chest X-ray, wires and tubes connecting, like a robot.
1 to 10 where's your pain: eleven.

Louis, my son, by my bed, observing with anxiety
Worry written in his eyes, I can see.
5am, and I, lying there like a short-circuit robot.
Deeply concern, Louis still watching over me.

Turn on TV to push away my awe feeling
Louis curled up in the chair, completely consumed by tiredness and perturbation.
Suddenly, my tears wells up, rolls down, and wets my pale lips,
Taste like ocean water, I, too, love you, love you wholeheartedly, my dear son.

Words of God overcame my pain and I realized what the Lord implies:
"Whoever believes in me, will do the works that I do." *
Love is not what one says, nor cites, nor recites,
But what one's done that shows: I truly love you.

And love shall move mountains, 
Brighten hope, sprout forgiveness,
Soften stone hearts, bridge differences
Exalt peace, enlighten darkness.

And love shall shed many happy tears, surely,
As I, an worldly father, in ocean of pain and in time of lowly,
Yet my happiness wells up with my tears, abundantly,
When the love of my son touched my soul so deeply.

How one would know for sure God won't shed any joyful tears.
He is Love and He is Divine Father.
Have faith, He, too, shall cry out with happy tears,
When His children "do the works" that He does.

(Jan 28, 18)

Premium Member Observations

Morning light shimmers
Floating dust welcome;
Excited salutation


World awakes
Noisy traffic;
Rush of work day


Knock on the door
Peephole lookout;
Real estate agent


Morning cuppa
Fortified supplements;
Health insurance


Bamboo trees
Walkway sentinels;
Windy voices hum


Old plumeria tree
Speaks in vivid colours;
Reds, yellows, whites bloom


Lift alarm screaming
Fire drill or short circuit;
Irritating noise


Balcony view
Ant-people far below;
Busy antics ply


Temple oracle
Praying on a wish;
Curious bystanders


Church petitions
Man keeps busy asking;
Attendance compulsory


Despite our faiths
Man remains unchanged;
Unsure and insecure


Voice of dawn
Hurling new songs;
Rapture unnoticed


Bold ideas fashion
New collections;
Recycle old orbits


Day after day
Same old, same old;
What's new pussycat


Hymn and prayer
Endless petitions;
Too much noise


Go deeply now
Linger right here;
Discern afresh


When, where and how
Who, why and what;
Unanswered questions


Weary and tired
Dreary world swirls;
Awaiting salvation


Look beyond reason
To fit new rhymes;
Seasonal permutations


Looking out
Peeping in;
Who cares


Lost in the crowd
I search for something;
I don't know why


Rules are rules
Useful as tools;
Transcend and discard


Once in a while
A sincere smile;
Cynics fling piles


Go beyond terms
Let feelings style;
Spontaneous voice


Seek then the light
Beyond meaning;
Seize true rapture


When the soul awakes
Magic and mystic
Charm with bold say


Words once empty
Pregnant with rapture;
Creation sings


In a clear vessel
The empty space:
Is most valuable


Go beyond form
Beyond norm;
Flirt with impulse


Words are devices
Language crude formats;
Soul sublimates


Sense a sure gap
Between said and done;
Herein possibilities field

Premium Member The Back Seat of a Chevy

When I was teenboy, nothing else mattered
Than making out in the back of a Chevy
With a gorgeous young hottie with boobs to die for
Breathing became rather heavy

Now I'll try to behave coz the censors are watching
And your computers will probably short circuit
With the powers vested in me, I'll try to behave
But it'll be quite a challenge I'll admit

All my many friends I have here on the Soup
Are aware of my penchant for the naughty stuff
After all what's life about but to wiggle and jiggle
While parading around town in the buff

So far the censors haven't any reason to complain
I've been relatively prim and proper
But I sure can't keep this up indefinitely though
I'll blow a gasket as I get all hot and bothered

Eventually though, I catch hold of myself
Since a teenboy, I've actually learned self-control
Can now walk down the street without molesting girls
And the drooling I've controlled on the whole

So in closing I'll say this, my very good friends
There should be a law that allows us guys
The freedom to molest hot voluptuous young fillies
And make out in the back of a Chevy as a prize
