Premium Member Not Even a Cockroach


     Neither despise any man
        nor detest anything, even in the sand

     For every man has his moment in the sun
       everything a purpose in the long run … 

     Once I thought – but not a cockroach
       execrable bug beyond reproach  

     Yet I've learned from neuroscience podcasters 
       You can Ai-wire ‘em to rescue victims of disasters

The Focal Point

No longer Bible does appear 
The guarantee of truth
In court 

No longer the presumption works
As guilty they're fact

No longer Jury can decide

I am off the Law Enforcement 
For the Computation 
Of the Military Pact

The Hitler broke the Diplomatic the Convention

Your tactical is tact
Your focal point 

Do concentrate
You must be targeting your fire 
Horizons your event 
What's your intention's the desire? 

You might be doing firearms for sport
But not for the collection of your arsenal
Civilian Defense?

Why selling rifles the assault 
So freely as they are specific instruments of mine 

There is military,  there is civil sports

There are the rules of safety handling arms and fire 

Control your own arms today
As war of Law now works with neuroscience 

Cartoons for kids today exist for business so they would be buying

Mush

Neuroscience
takes a world class meal
grinds it into bits
and tries to convince us
 — its taste has improved

(Villanova University: April, 2025)


Away With the Wind In Time

Join me, in my hand, ??
Join me in the Institute for a Common Humanity.

Here I perch, naked and beaten, on a tiny glass slide within a microscope.
It is wondrous to find that this skin is formed of a million shattered triangles,
our brains fractal-ised caverns of tentative foliage.

Join me, in my hands, ?? ????!
Join me in the Institute for a Common Humanity.

Where, and too far away! 
Our hearts sink in sealed jars of Dread;  
an unwilling relief is sent of the wind.

In time, an ultradian contortion;
we'll peer into the minds of a derelict people, and clear as ever day
shall arrive the curious light.

????? ?? ???? ?? ??? ?????.
?? ??? ???? ?? ??? ????? ??????,
?? ????? ???? ?????.

Premium Member A Book To Take Me

I like a book to take me
  to a site by me unknown
though not necessarily
  all that far from home 

Though an action thriller
  may land me in old Bahrain
'Discoveries in Neuroscience'
  might reshape my whole brain

I like a book to teach me
  something fresh, brand-new
What to feed my pet iguana
  or how to build a canoe

Oh, what great glory
  to curl up with an adventure story
or ponder viewpoints that inspire

And it's so comforting to know, for sure
  ~ I'll have more to read when I retire...

Illusion

All the photos of me smiling 
All the videos of me exploring 
It's all just an imaginary world that I allow you to see 
But none of this is me

Im always dressed nicely 
Addidas and nikes
Always well groomed 
Hair cut beard shaved 
But none of this is me 

I got a bachelors degree in science 
And now I'm pursuing my masters in neuroscience 
Everyone says they're proud of me 
But only if they knew
None of this is me 

Inside I'm so simple 
Deep down I'm so weak 
But to you I'm so well accomplished 
You think I've got it all figured out
But None of this is me

I want to be free 
I want to feel alive
You think I'm so outgoing 
But truth is I'm kinda shy

I don't like people very much 
And I hardly keep in touch 
I got a thousand friends on facebook
But I know only a bunch

I wish I was a bird 
No I wish I was a fish 
To fly around like an eagle 
Or dive into the abyss 

You'd think I was crazy 
Or say I've gone mad
But If only you knew 
How much it consumes me inside

I show you my life 
The smiles and the laughs 
Everything seems so perfect 
Which makes it so sad 

None of this is me
