A while ago you all might recall, I requested
Justice from the Lord.? No faith in lawfare I
Asked He take away the parasites, that destroyed
Much faith, I hear now that many are
deceased.' Of those who hung with epstein
And on innocence did feast.' I'll recall here a saying
I learned it when young..God settles debts without
Money, always remember that my son.)
Opening with complete ignorance
With a loop like tolerance
Most likely with Vengeance
Lace with an effect of balances
The choices of no obedience
No room for obvious clearance
Noting that there is no more chance
The thought of evil romances
Leaving a thought that may
An equivalence of being a prey
When things come with hope that say
A final abrupt stop in decays
The final outcome of a dream
The flow of beautiful stream
Then a burst of angry steam
Things never are what it seems
When All Seems Lost
Kevin Davis 2025
When all seems lost and pathways fade away,
Listen to your soul — it will not loudly say.
It speaks not quick, nor flickers faint and wane;
When you're prepared to hear, it lives inside your brain.
It's answers bloom from everything you've learned,
A quiet catalog of lessons you've earned.
From day one you've been training for this fight —
Trust that inner lantern guiding you through night.
When all is lost, hush — your soul will show the way:
Quiet echoes of each lesson learned by day.
From childhood's small rehearsals to the trials you've known,
Inside you lives the answer — softly, but your own.
that raven is always there
rain, sun, wind, sleet, hail, fog
especially fog; he seems to love fog
I stared in the direction of the crypt
it is not always the same raven I said
How do you know?
they have been watching over Poe’s crypt
since his death, and that was a long time ago.
It couldn’t be the same raven
right?
When All Seems Lost
Kevin Davis 2025
When all seems lost, and pathways fade away,
Listen close to your soul — it will not loudly say.
It speaks not quickly, nor flickers faint and wan;
When you're prepared to hear, it lives inside your brain.
Your answers bloom from everything you've learned,
A quiet catalog of the many lessons earned.
From day one, you've been training for this fight —
Trust that inner lantern guiding you through the night.
When all is lost, hush — your soul will show the way:
Quiet echoes of each lesson learned each day.
From childhood's small rehearsals to the trials you've known,
Inside you lives the answer — softly, but your own.
Competition is supposed
Lowering the price
We didn't hire them
For these the contracts
And they their win conceptualize
Intelligence aware
Which machine learning
And what is desired outcome
Production of products
Trades and agreements
Internal economy SRAM
This interesting lemma
And this is dilemma
And this real meaning of law
You cannot develop
The system of commons
Because those are for you foe
Find level
Attribution
You cannot exist in no context
To you I am talking?
Have life of your own
Is this the system of yours?
Who gave them the job this
In systems of meaning
For what is now yours the remorse
Yes that in order
Computing of purpose
Wrongly they want innovate
Defense cannot legal
Occur own computing
Where equality false
The most idiotic
Period in history
Machine does exist for machine
There is no authorty
Because it's incompetent
For what do they want any peace
What if AIs of theirs
Really aren't valid
Cannot the true purpose serve
What if in a system
Of many publications
There is neither the point
Nor the force
How punches seep;
Make talk so cheap-
In doubt to ,
Tongue can't keep fit.
What knock out, art-
Open Jaws apart...
Of Francis dream,
Joshua made scream.
In just two rounds,
Three knock downs' sounds...
Put up fear's thrill,
Fans silence still.
In awe; how big...
Long fight ought dig.
I'm eating a hot dog for breakfast
With mustard and ketchup
Watching lecture 18 of
'How to Listen to & Understand Opera'
Sometimes it's pain au chocolat,
But I'm in pain getting in the car at
6:41am; I drive in the darkness
Cuckoos, frightened birds,
Donkey-Jupiter, hurdy-gurdy
Tears, sorrow, cries
I hear the clouds -
See a chariot drawn by two frogs
I say out loud, "That's a mad silhouette of a person."
Such a description may well give the
Impression that the Earth is out of sorts
And every morning, this is the
Birth of comedy
I check the football news
There was a punch-up at the end of yesterday's game.
"Look how happy the crowd is to see a man being strangled."
The pig is in the poke.
Though to think of thee
Like a heaven is to me,
Not to, no less seems.
In heart though there’s room
For you, there’s room it so seems
For new buds to bloom.
My soul is in pain
And till in pain should remain,
Not to meet fair seems
Till I’m back t’be me,
Till heart again bleeds for thee,
Till from pain I’m free.

Note: Gen Zee, it so seems, are very forthright insofar as love is concerned.
I hear the screams
And every moan
But nothing’s as it seems,
Every day the light beams,
Birds have flown,
I hear the screams,
The moon still gleams,
The ball is thrown,
But nothing’s as it seems,
Form teams,
Stand upon a throne,
I hear the screams,
She beats and creams,
Clothes are sewn,
But nothing’s as it seems,
Water flows down streams,
Everyone’s alone.
I hear the screams,
But nothing’s as it seems.
August journal entry randomly selected
Another spectacular day of gloriously wonderful sunshine
I'm hoping summer never ends
Wordku: 5-7-5 words

Hi mister look this way
I'm a guy down on his luck
Sure could use a lift
Wordku: 5-7-5 words
perhaps I did splash
a wet dash too much
when I was growing up ~
seems I was selfish
one fish too many
when merely a pup ~
maybe I acted disrespectful
an action too long
when just a forming hiccup ~
appears I misled my part
a missed start too often,
yepper, yea, yes, oh, yup ~
waz sup?
I step beyond my front door, shoes brushing dew
And the air is crisp, familiar-something old, something new.
The sky unfolds in pale gold, the sparrows sing the same tune,
And I swear, I've wandered here before, beneath the waking moon.
Sunlight dapples over lawns just as it always does,
Neighbors wave, dogs bark, the world's gentle hum abuzz.
Every scent, each rustle, is a whisper from the past:
The rustling trees greet me-echoes that forever last.
My feet trace the sidewalk cracks, memory's soft parade,
I know the way the breeze feels, the shifting light and shade.
Deja vu in every heartbeat, in every glance I steal-
It seems, like yesterday, this day was wholly real.
Yet, as I wander outward, with wonder and with grace,
I find new meaning hidden in every time-worn place.
Perhaps I've lived this day before, or dreamed it in the night,
But outside, in the morning sun, the world feels just as right.
