Inanimate
Not alive
Not in the group of animals nor humans
Only differences may be of the same substance
Yet have not a soul, spirit, brain lacking signs of life and consciousness
Nonliving without being

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
The world is beautiful but vengeful,
The world consists of the living and nonliving,
The world consists of the good and the bad,
The world creates and destroys,
The world is beautiful,
The world is beautiful,
Because of the nature, the countries and the people,
But one wrong move,
One big mistake,
Like,
Massive deforestation, soil pollution and littering
Will make the world angry,
That it will turn on self destruction mode,
Creating tsunamis, tornadoes, and earthquakes,
It's not the world's fault,
As it gives back what it gets,
If we give the world love,
Flowers will bloom, raindrops will dance,
Arroyos will feel satiety , people will live in peace,
The world is full of kindness,
People with compassion and love,
The world is full of guidance,
Even in the darkest nights, The brightest moonlight will guide us,
The world is full of energy,
As we get most of the food from sunlight,
The world is full of beauty,
Breathtaking mountains , magnificent waterfalls and amazing jungles,
Albeit,
don't let the beauty fool you,
As the world is beautiful but vengeful.
- Sri Danya
~I have a head for a hat
. I have my torso for a shirt and coat,
I have my legs for pants,
and for my ankles and feet I have socks and shoes
but for my heart I have love
I have love for everyone
But above all of that
I have love for my Lord and Savior
My God and His son Jesus
I have a soul and its whole creative might I have the breath of almighty God
Enclosed with this sinful body
But I remember I've been forgiven
Forgiven of my sins already and within
I've chosen to redeem my wrongs and to repent
I have I have hands to put together
I have a mind to pray for my long endeavors
in my sins repented I now I'm forgiven
all that I've done this battle
I finally won been forgiven nonliving eternally on but my Lord and my
God hallelujah

Time
My genetic parents
Unknown
No one knows my biological face
I should not say myself simple and unselfish
In reality I am simple and unselfish
And I do my job without discrimination
With geography, people, religion,
creed area, have or have not etc;
On my eye all are equal
And my duty is to run
Check and balance universe, planets
Life cycle of living and nonliving things
With my versatile working capacity
Researchers, scientist is after me to catch
I can see them they cannot see me
In short all planets is under my control
And known by name
TIME!!!
11th April 2020
I trip among sewage of lanes,
Vacant parks, garbage junk
Reveal this aimless wayfaring
Arrogance tagged as pride—
Drunk on caprice, humans become
Wares used for amusement.
Now emptiness haunts me alive
An existence, rotting.

Line 3-- “… an alien life, a life unlived, not lively, hardly ours.”
artificial smarts
are nonliving intellect
with specific goals
just programmed logic
with limited rationale
that cannot shut off
to think abstract thoughts
as the context of content
ai's a tooled toy
an arts-official
engineered dreams for control
...
ai can't grow up
stan sand
They often judge the poet
On the words that he thread
Some readers formed his silhouette
In each poetry that they've read
Judge him not at one piece, else you'll be upset
Because his pen can laughed then can bled
In every second his mind will reset
Truly, you'll never know what's inside his head
In the universe of paper and quill
He can create truth within lies
He can put soul to nonliving
Some of his creations will never die
Every poesy made was alive
Talked of its own tongue
They'll definitely survive
Even the poet was long gone

Halloween: The Best Time of the Year
Halloween
Frightening
Everything about the nonliving
Everything about the dead
Scary stories to be said
Monsters coming out from under your bed
All in one night
All in the biggest fright
Lock your doors really tight
Trick or treat
Smell my feet
Don’t give me no rotten meat!
Candy everywhere
Scary masks giving you a stare
Giving you a scare
Toothaches
People acting fake
Zombies come and wake
Knock on every door
Abandon houses to explore
Stay safe worried moms implore
Flying witches on brooms
Wake up the tombs
You are doomed!
Pumpkins glow out light
Clock strikes midnight
Kids wandering around is still a sight
Children eat pumpkin pie
Watch movies where people die
This night is no lie
Old men hitting teenagers with their canes
People loosing their brains, all aboard the haunted train!
All humans drinking cider
Watch out for hooligan hiders
Watch out for creepy crawly spiders!
Halloween is my favorite time of the year
Everything is to be feared
Everything is a little to near
We born in love
We grown in love
We lived in love
We died in love
We pass moment in love
We relate together in love
We discover in love
We are in fame in love
Every thought and feeling
Every sensation and realization
Every rhythm in mind and soul
Engrossed in relative love
You and I, and I and you
Both living and nonliving
Both concrete and abstract
Melted in ever growing love
In nature or in space
In universe or in diverse
In hell or in heaven
Everywhere chained in love
From atom to molecule
From molecule to atom
In minutest pace of cell
Ever rhythmic in love
Visible and invisible
Relativity synchronize
Between lovers’ heart
We lucky we are in love
.....................
The most original, and a perfect one,
A magnetic force , every moment attracts,
My ultra favourite since day one,
Nothing be it living or nonliving ever distracts,
Amazing artist GOD, at will adds or subtracts !!

Some ride coffins
Black and slick
Completely round
The best of linen interior
For when your inbound
Four feet laid under the ground.
Some swim in tears
Blue tinted, salty, and clear
Drowning their cheers
Pain always living in it
Public with their lament
Swollen eyes become slits.
Some hide from fears
Pressure stifling abilities
Alien to feelings of tranquility
Melting into the woodworks
Like lost tribes of gloom
Dead flowers which will never bloom.
Some are searchers
Seeking out the wretches
Desperately taking accolades
Like bones being tossed
To rabid slobbering dogs
Selfishly wanting their own applause.
Some are procreators
Breeders of hate
Tearing the wombs
Bleeders of hearts
Butchers of gentleness they filet
Lost souls for the ones who disobey.
Some take things farther
Openers of closed doors
Never sitting still
Builders strengthening others wills
Unselfishly bringing new beginnings
To those of the nonliving.
Some we never knew
Like aimless doves flying
Wrinkling moments in time
With upside down smiles
Painted onto canvasses
Of blank faces…
