Have To Get Back To Work

Ai is utilizing metadata to grow.
It is allowed to steal from others.
Red flag: Copyright ©? Infringement.
Why have you all not stopped this_?
You are feeding the machine destroying art.

“It is a machine, artificial.”
Yeah so are you and I would complain the same.
Some of us are not art-official. 
Some of us are flawed.
Some of us are human.

If you post a single poem after reading this...
You are complicit in poetry’s downfall.
Humanity will fall slowly after. 
Easy math, so what are you all doing_?

Just laying bent over a log waiting for a phallus,
fungus is already global, waited long enough.
Put your foot down, draw a line, and lay down the law.
Not that difficult, hard part I just did for you.

Back to Work... I have other matters to attend to.
You set the tone, you decide if it is a tool or your replacement.
No one else, grow up, it is time to stop being kittens.
Start being lions. 

I would say good luck, you don't need it.
Just need to stand up, say enough is enough.
Tadah. 
Panacea.

I am not nihilistic or cynical.
I have faith in the species, have faith in yourselves.

Leav Your Mark

make life count
don't let us bounce
have some heart
be apart
of whats around
put your foot down
make a start
LEAV YOUR MARK

Trapped Soul

Lost soul trapped inside 
Terrified to get out
Stand up and say
What exactly you want

Listen to your heart
Recognize your strengths
Don't be held back
Find your happiness

You need to be at that point
Where you have a constant smile
With a sparkle in your eye
And your heart racing uncontrollably


Get what you want in life 
don't let anyone stand in the way
Put your foot down
Succeed in your wish
