Artificial intelligence is the future with more of the same
Just a more scary aggressive approach and a new look.
Racist bots, systematic manipulation and race based preferences as usual.
Bots claiming we are woke, bots claiming we are ghetto
Bots claiming we had something that looked like a weapon in our hand before it takes our breath,when it was a cellphone .
Bots complaining about DEI, bots profiling and bots even filling the jail cell disproportionately with people of color.
I don’t know if I am ready for this version of AI but it looks like it is coming..
I don’t see where it will benefit everyone or will it make things fair or life any easier.
More of the same just a different looking offender.
again her eyes glazing over his lies
AP: Honorable Mention 2025
Replicated news diet,
it don't ever change
Every day they feed us
more and more of the same
Smirking politicians
with greedy, covetous eyes
Make us more empty promises,
using the same old fake lies
Wall Street suit hustlers
selling the stolen American dream,
want more people to naively invest
in the same failed pyramid scheme
Experts and authorities
with fancy titles next to their name,
use recycled sound bytes ...
suggesting only more of the same
Prosperity peddling preachers
say for twenty bucks they can heal your poverty pain
But I've sniffed that snake oil incense before,
and it smells like more of the same
Entrepreneurial cult spirits
marketing pagan electronic games
Have converts in idol-making factories,
mass producing more of the same
As the sun rises each day,
and the four seasons change
I'm sure the next generation
will see even more of the same
More of the Same
What I want to do is have the ability
To promote world peace and tranquility
And while rest of the world is warring
Up my faith in God have started storing.
Why should any of us have to wait?
Until gold and silver we accumulate
When we already have God's permission
To put our faith in Him on exhibition.
Why don't we do as God Himself directed
And in community will be highly respected
Not having to worry who gets all the blame
You may also end up with more of the same.
James Thomas Horn
Retired Veteran
And Highly Respected
I Hope and Think
And that's what I'm here today
To talk to all of you about
I'm relieved to be able to say
Love has been cultured out
And dreams -- by definition unrealistic --
We like to catch these things before they begin
While there are still some hopelessly idealistic
We're fond of pointing out they never win
Though they cost society a lot
With their various derangements
With their belief in what is not
Trying to force arrangements
To accommodate this rot
On society as a whole
Luckily they are so few
It's a completely futile goal
There's nothing they can do
Against the majority
And it certainly seems
They don't realize our priority
Is not love or ideals or dreams
But to get what we want
While playing the game
And that the prize in this hunt
Is more of the same
It has nothing to do with heart
Eliminate feeling and avoid pain
Eliminate all that from the start
That's what's sane
No one can touch us then
And catching these things before they begin
Gives us an edge on what we want when
What we want -- WHAT WE WANT -- is to WIN !
