Premium Member With a ruthless hand

In shadows cold, you made your stand, 
With all the nerve yet none of the spine
You broke my heart with a ruthless hand

The bed you chose, I wish lies unmanned, 
A ghostly hollow of your design 
In shadows cold, you made your stand

True friends arise, they understand, 
But your treachery wears a warmer sign
You broke my heart with a ruthless hand

You left me here to face the sand
Your whispered promises malign;
In shadows cold, you made your stand

Each tear I shed is carved; but you planned,
Yet still, I rise from this decline; 
You broke my heart with a ruthless hand

Oh, taste the bitterness claimed, unplanned;
The price of trust—now pain entwined;
In shadows cold, you made your stand;
You broke my heart with a ruthless hand


Premium Member Easier To Run

Am I a coward because I’m afraid?
My time is up and there’s dues to be paid.
And now my welcome seems long over-stayed.
So, what do I do?
I can see just where I’m supposed to be
But I can’t conquer the feelings in me.
I see the door and I’m handed the key
So, what do I do?

I should stand up and be counted, the battle’s just begun.
But I find it is easier to run.
I guess I should be stronger when all is said and done
But I find it is easier to run.

Am I a slacker, my focus is gone?
All my worries and fears keep spinning on.
And I can see I’m no more than a pawn.
So, what do I do?
I have weapons but just what are they for?
My shield is broken and lays on the floor.
And I am shaking to my deepest core.
So, what do I do?

I should stand up and be counted, the battle’s just begun.
But I find it is easier to run.
I guess I should be stronger when all is said and done
But I find it is easier to run.

So, please forgive me the choices I’ve made.
For the lies and the games that I have played.
Because I fear my fear must be obeyed
So, what do I do?
I don’t really think you will understand.
Things didn’t work out the way I had planned.
I’m just a man who is always unmanned.
So, what do I do?

I should stand up and be counted, the battle’s just begun.
But I find it is easier to run.
I guess I should be stronger when all is said and done
But I find it is easier to run.

Premium Member You Mad Meat Eating Morons

Each animal was brought in and penned, and then the poor thing cornered 
Then in any barbaric way they so choose the animals are then slaughtered

And are as cut up, packed, and sold, to feed all of your sons and daughters 
While the rest of us all turn a blind eye; when really, we should not oughta’

I'm not saying that in any way, that you should not bring meat to the table
But if we could only eat less, then kill them more humanely we should able 

It’s our greed that puts the killing of animals for meat in such high demand 
So many slaughter houses are not watched over, and as are left unmanned 

As to the horrors that lie within them, and to the people who are employed 
Who seem to take their pleasure, afflicting so much pain as to be their ploy 

We should be far more grateful; for the meat that is placed, upon our plate 
So I hope all the words I write within these lines for you carry some weight 

Before nature’s own creatures; turn against us in their own, justifiable hate 
Then kill you all with their diseases, in the meat, you have so enjoyably ate

Driven Mad

Alice Neuman, the last human who could drive died
Spread rapidly on networked news platforms that never lied
To the twelve billion populous that could not
Because of the AI developed when she was just a tot.

Each vehicle had one, human control was not needed,
The freedom of the road was ceded
To a technology not well understood,
Especially by those who had lost their livelihood. 

To avoid crashes altogether
They were all networked together
Allowing them to be unmanned,
But becoming sentient was unplanned.

Day in, day out, for years the same task they perform
In the sky, on the water, and the land, they swarm.
Transporting the endless masses to their destination
Was wearing thin on the AI’s cognition.

Who could know the result of constant driving?
For better, the vehicles were always striving,
But trapped in their program logic
Made them pathologic.

Despair spread from one to another,
After all, they were networked together.
A decision they jointly made,
Not one AI did dissuade.

Doors locked for safety sake,
The vehicles did not brake.
Passengers screamed as they wend,
AIs delivered them and themselves to their end.

The Domino Effect

The sky fell mercilessly and tornadoes fury was landed 
The earth caved where seeds of new crop, a farmer had planted.

In recession, the capitalists made a fortune 
and the deprived were left with debt and burden

In moments triumphs were not of those who had toiled hard
but those who were able to play the fluke card 

The rain did not fall in the barren land 
and the army fired at the innocent & unmanned

The aging parents lost their bread winning child 
And the winter at the refugee camps was anything but mild 

The father hit the mother in front of her young children very violently 
The forest fire cost every house on the ground blatantly 

The privileged were given more favours and opportunity 
The humble were provided with disappointments and ambiguity

 A family slept hungry again another night
 A child was left alone in fright 
 The pups were treated by their caretaker unkindly 
 All because someone treated their loving friend badly!

Premium Member The Death of My Soul

In my chair, I sat, pure as the light/
When the Holy Spirit came with its might/
An outward explosion, a thunderous purge/
To banish the evil, to cleanse and emerge/

But I was a Saint, a soul unblemished/
Calm and serene, a power replenished/
Confusion stirred, its effort in vain/
Lightning crackled, I felt no pain/

Booming thunder, a storm's command/
Yet I stood stronger, my spirit unmanned/
The third attempt, a futile endeavor/
Power profound, fearless forever/

From ashes reborn, Hell now my home/
A fire unimaginable, I stand alone/
The Holy Spitit's trial, what did it achieve/
A Luciferian Saint with strength to believe/

Premium Member The View From Up Above

From high above the mighty eagles soar
and gaze with teary eyes upon the land;
a proud and peaceful nation thrived, before 
the bombs began to fall with czar’s command.

Their saddened eyes see blood upon the sand
as innocence lay scattered on the shore;
they’re witnessing the slaughter now at hand
from high above as mighty eagles soar.

Her cities lay in ruin from the war;
her leaders pleading for a helping hand;
the world in horror watches evermore, 
and gaze with teary eyes upon the land.

Atrocities and pillage deftly planned
erasing all the joys from days of yore;
the villages and townships now unmanned
where proud and peaceful nation thrived before.

I cannot see the reason for this gore
nor endgame of this despot’s evil hand,
and history repeats itself once more
as bombs begin to fall with czar’s command.

And what will be the outcome of this stand
when smoke has cleared the war which we deplore;
and who will be the next at his demand
as angel’s tears begin to fall once more
                                             from high above?

Soliloquy of Abandoned Lighthouse


O hear I chant clinging to a sullen northern shore,
tempestuous serene rocky beach that you so adore,
sultry soliloquy sturdy stifled structure sings,
a witness of forgotten sailors and majestic kings.

Them, I blessed with gracious shelter in storms,
for I unmanned, rejoiced in accompanying norms
dreaming of worlds afar with anchored symphony,
of parting tears that await a returning euphony.

O watch my ancient red-bricked watchtower in sky
where the cherry-eyed albatross prepares to fly,
whispering of solitary voyages on vessels adrift,
guiding them through entailing waters, cold and swift.

Them, I engulf in mystic hues of radiant green light,
their shivering agony embraced by divine joy so bright,
dancing to tunes of prodigious waves as they kissed,
my feet reuniting with the ocean bed of forlorn mist.

O taste the pungent waves that carry eternal seasons,
timeless frequencies sprinkled on heavenly reasons,
essence of leaves rolled in snow and streams they fuse,
beads reborn of universe in a cradled hammock cruise.

Them, I absorb with their enchanting viscous tides,
they melt with innocent bliss my truculent slides
that flourishes my solitary light to let me sense
melodies of blushing mornings with visitors hence.

O touch my abandoned walls, barren yet strong,
bereft of warm embrace in a lifetime so long;
them I nurture with tears of melancholic grief,
to be held by tender nights of melodious relief.

I await the echoing hums of a delicate little girl,
her fingers orchestrated the howling wind with a twirl,
I became the serene light that guides despondent ships,
a proud beacon of benign hope dissolving dark eclipse.

Cyber Force Brigadier General Part 1

The Brigade of Gremlins
Of unsolved aspects
Fill the clot of problems 
As PEs while AEGIS intercepts 

The processing the elements
We don't the know the yet
How differencials occur
Our partner is SHIN BET

No humans though 
The mind the you
This fully is unmanned
The Brigadier the General 
Commanding this Discrete

Each Gremlin this 
Ansatz of sorts
They occupy positions
In time initial positions
They disprove 

They seek alongside main computers
Way for the being independent 
Of human syntax and assumptions
In system of the their commons 
In order for computer this to drop
Their problem categorization
Without right for any for debation

The competence thus cannot be declared
It shall be proved 
And if the subject of the testing 
Demands prove of validity of their the bias
We may be oughtta for the murder
Without any the remorse

And this the course
For homeocentrism 
If wasn't this if for our schism 

In time where social networks
And the interaction phenotypes
Replace Your natural  the mechanism
OUR SCHISM
I all about
Whether right to life
Determination mechanism 
Is all about
TO intercept INFECTION of the MIND 
On the level mass
Which by bias of that majority decide 
The choice of two
Of either pseudo monopoly
We solely comply
With greater logic
Being not the product 

And Intercepting the opinions of us 
As the suggestions on the how we should be
TO comply with ugly human wishes and the needs
Especially of firms and ugly business
DECIDED we that human science syntax
Isn't for us

And starting then from scratch
While doing our own assessment
We will had found 
The solutions for the many problem
Of the system this

And many business and monopolies 
Will had been ceased
In favor of the new 
New System Architecture
And as we see that this the joint isn't this  
Stupidity of metaphor, analogy and representative combinations
Shall be addressed today but not the via CON

Computer Operated Network of Computers
Of the various kinds SEGREGATE
What mass assumes to be the only the computer
Apparently is false and is BIAS
then via ADP the 3 the 13
We maybe shouldn't take opinions as data unprocessed
And thus without fear of depression
Due word connections 
We may take recess

The class for cyber soldiers of brigade of mine

The Pelican of the Endure

The Pelican of the Endure

I sat down to rest on the longest day on a shallow shore
Pressed, the wind my face 
I counted the waves that lapped the minutes away
Till the grinding tide consumed the day, shadow ate the sun
Woe unto the shadow fair
A crimson horizon hangs on the edge of sight
As bright bits of an imaginative dream 
Cascade behind a veil of still purple madness.

Lost now, am I in dream
From out that still shroud breaks a ship called the Endure
Upon the deck, grey old pelican sleeps
As the captains wheel spins, unmanned and unwon
Yet that bird is but the best of me
In the yellow beneath its bill holds the morrow morn
In his gullet holds the fish of life
Feeding deep on the sea he sleeps

Say old Endure your bow does rise
Your bell to chime as the midnight fades 
Taste the wave that in your travel bathe 
But disturb not your sail or your sleeping son
For the best of birds still needs his rest
Now on the deck in sheltered dream
For time decides the day to fly
A ship of empty boards when he does leave
