AI's and the future
On YouTube, Elon Musk was pontificating about
The future of AI, yes, I agree with some parts of his lecture
One thing is clear: AI in the form of robots can be helpful
But we must resist the idea that AI takes power
humanity most always comes first, and not an artificial construct
We, humans, are real; we have a mind, we have compassion
and love in our hearts
Art in all its forms springs from the human, be it in novels
painting or poetry, an AI can only pretend it knows
I read once on X, E. M. had a negative view of compassion
I must have misread. Why else would he offer to help
The victims of Epstein, other than compassion.
Another point that has been overlooked is about
human dignity if we sense that we will destroy those
Robots, with no intelligence, cannot beat human anger
"50 Words for Poe: Doppleganger"
Dearest Lily,
It has been some months now that you have been Silent
there has been an episode at the Asylum
I wander how you fare.
Fox Glove has escaped this time
in the season of heat,
when July passed,
another replaces her cell -
they call him the
Terror Fell
Scary as Hell.
I shall forever be in your debt
your letters enthralled me, kept me wet.
My task is to monitor them all,
this is not over yet
not by a long shot
over yet.
Sickert has asked me to tea,
says he wants to muse me.
I do worry about you -
is your favourite colour,
still vibrant?
You know,
that purest shade of
Mary Mother of God Blue?
Truly, I do worry what has become of you.
Wolf is on the run
and there is the question
asked in blood –
a payment of debt
which, as you know,
is never any fun.
Out in the cold again, I fear,
no point to fret, is there my dear?
The patients place their bets.
The keepers hold their threats.
Do contact me soon.
I am over
the sad cyrpt-kept buffoons.
Yours always,
forever,
not wearing Blue.
then again, in the end,
no fair weather friend -
well, in the circumstances,
the very warmest,
the very kindest,
let's put all that shizz behind us,
regards...
You-Know-Who,
(LadyLabyrinth/2019)

Garbage/Bleed Like Me
“And sometimes thro' the mirror blue
The knights come riding two and two:
She hath no loyal knight and true,
The Lady of Shalott.
But in her web she still delights
To weave the mirror's magic sights,
For often thro' the silent nights
A funeral, with plumes and lights
And music, came from Camelot:
Or when the moon was overhead
Came two young lovers lately wed;
'I am half sick of shadows,' said
The Lady of Shalott.”
(Today is Tata MANDELA’S birthday. Freedom lovers all over South Africa are celebrating his legacy of Compassionate Love. I wrote this poem on his birthday when he was still alive. I am so grateful that I was humbled to serve in his government whilst he was President of the First National Democratic Government in South Africa.
At the time I wrote it, I was living opposite a pine forest. )
MANDELA’S BIRTHDAY POEM
All is radiantly translucent
Drops of water sit in
Silence on trees in sunshine
Aloe reflect themselves
In flooded ponds
Tasks are listed
Pines reach for the sky
Where clouds ripple lace across
A stretched out blueness
Dogs bark
Workers to work
Students to school
Earth holds us
in the full Awareness
of our own power to
Change !
Happy Birthday
Cherished leader

The Dilettante Diaries: "In Stasis, Black Iris"
Oriental Lily's
Stamen bleeds
blush ochre dust
like icing sugar
duelling tongues
sweet captive
musk
over stagnant
white pure perfume
Stains soft feather fingerprints
sweet bruises across warm velvet skin
imprints a new story
a kiss lingers
there just there
you know where
secret whispers begin
Again
Again
Ripe Tiger Lily
purrs
petals opening
languid longing
Luscious
Laugh
Vibrant
Sin
Again
Again
Velvet revolver
deep
like
Turin
Worships
the
Holy Ground
She grows in
new secrets sown
something grows
something begins
Again
Again
Aquarius eyes
languid pools
for windows
drinks her in
like a
hummingbird
drinks her
charms within
Leo addictive deep
crimson
she is vibrating
Life
draws you in
Luna cool
kisses her
heat
she is the
Sun
revolving
you her muse
a lesson for now,
lean in
A revolver cocked
for killing past hurts
opens petals
ruinous
deep ripe purple
plum
unfurls
begins
begins
again
again
Evergreen
Verdant
Elixir they
sleep to dream
Just words
in the
luminiferous aether
waiting
waiting
waiting
intoxicating
New Chapter
In Stasis is
Black Iris
Surrenders
control
relenquished
Souls are
transforming
trading
Black Iris
lies in waiting

Because in the lonely bed the virgin trembles, spurring the wind to wake from her sleep before the gates of heaven close, before we fade to ashes — and there is nothing that we do not know the true meaning of - Silivester Kiik (2026).
***
The time has come
the sleepy stars
on the shoulders of the old hut
invite us—go
don't turn away.
Behind—the shadow of anger
tears our footsteps
filling the air with footsteps and dust.
The time has come
the stars never acknowledge
fidelity is theirs
because the flowers
in the bride's courtyard
— realize it
don't prophesy
let us go.
For on the lonely bed
— the virgin trembles
drives the wind
awakens from her sleep
before the gates of heaven close
before we fade to ashes
— and there is nothing
that we don't truly know the meaning of.

Note:
I have turned this poem into a song. However, the song is in Indonesian. You can watch it on my YouTube channel Silivester Kiik.
Artist: Michael Card
Song Title: Why
Why did it have to be a friend
Who chose to betray the Lord
Why did he use a kiss to show them
That's not what a kiss is for
Only a friend can betray a friend
A stranger has nothing to gain
And only a friend comes close enough
To ever cause so much pain
And why did there have to be thorny
Crown pressed upon His head
It should have been the royal one
Made of jewels and gold instead
It had to be a crown of thorns
Because in this life that we live
For all who seek to love
A thorn is all the world has to give
And why did it have to be
A heavy cross He was made to bare
And why did they nail His feet and hands
His love would have held Him there
It was a cross for on a cross
A thief was supposed to pay
And Jesus had come into the world
To steal every heart away
Yes, Jesus had come into the world
To steal every heart away
One of my favorite songs by Michael Card....here is the youtube link if you would like to hear it...http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kFGXW3kJ3as
Sure took me a while
To realize that promises won’t grow
Ways to only know how
How everyone is promised a lonely soul
It wasn’t until I knew
I know but did not realize
At least not till its real
The moment when love dies
And its hard to go on... alone
Is it really better like everyone says?
Just the other day I was walking home
To only seem like never days
Perhaps irrelevant to think so
Perhaps irrelevant to burden love
Years bearing to only hold
When a broken promise becomes but a sentence serve
A while more, just a while
Knowing before I realize too soon
Love to only know how
A promise comes from a broken wound
Poem inspired with the song "Hard Left by Robin Hackett"

WINTER HAIBUN (Afterword )
shapes spread statuesque
foliage in Winter clothes-
melancholy me
Hallow Eve to Candlemas,the sun now turning south,;November is
sombre,December dark,January,February cold and stark.Catkins litter the forest
floor,beeches shed their leaves galore.Gales melange the mix,as decay brings
nature's bionomics.Hexagon pointed stars move and shift ,into a patterned
powdered drifts.Rain filled days of slush and muck,webs on shards of gossamer
stuck.Twilight months in winter shade until the snowdrops metamorphise in the glade
Listen to me recite this haibun and much of my PS anthology in 300 uploads on youtube under my pen name ichthyschiro

"Bugger the "Group" mentality. I say burn it up with a revolutionary act, start your own Group. If you didn't exist, there would be no world. You are your own world, your own Cosmos, you are luminescent, keep on shining - the people who matter will move towards your light. Leave the other befuddled fools walk in the dark holding hands, following tails like sheep. This is a fantastic expression of your individuality. Always keep speaking your TRUTH." LLB
"Bedknobs, Bell Curves and a Broomstick"
Words of wisdom
sitting in bed
reading a story
from another person's head
A short story
titled "At the Edge of the Bell Curve"
registers ding ding ding
this is a mind
worthy to swim
Everyone has a story
some breathing fire
flying courageous
Majestic
saving people
outspread
Dragon Wings
Others are just
walking talking
milk and honey
Love-Ins
tap tap tapping
seeking numbers
for competitive wins
Heroic Acts
of pulling hidden
courageous minds
up from the road cracks
Now, that's pure,
GOLDEN
This is the true story
Blue Birds singing for
honey and flapjacks
hidden pearls
are the gems...
now there's no
turning back
ever again -
your REAL STORY
begins.

Either first or last in the waiting line
Continually I ache inside
I'm breaking ties
Over taking sides
Making strides
Day and night
A better way of life
Among changing tides
At my job, I've helped in saving lives
Meanwhile others still taking bribes
At times I followed a training guide
Amateurs and pros baking pies
Hard to concentrate
When it all leaves a bad taste
The enemy putting out the bait
And yet people continue to take
Got it all twisted, let's get it straight
For me it's hard to relate
I'm high in outer space
They're full of hate
Judging others by race
I've not been in a very great
Mind state and place
I want to elevate
And accelerate the pace
Anyway
Trying to stray
From the bull everyday
It's pathetic, and not okay
Honestly, seems to do no good to pray
Life goes on or terminates
For all lifeforms with or without vertebrae
It's true
Get a clue
This world is a zoo
It's nothing new
Hysteria over bird flu
Then Covid-19 came to
Little if any breakthrough
Meanwhile people stir the pot of stew
Causing endless drama to ensue
Humans treating others like poo
So caught up on who is who
Obsessed with YouTube
And if there is Bluetooth
All the while there was a doll used for Voodoo
