Martyrdom
All I have left is survivor's guilt. 

And the knowledge that everyone thinks I gave up. 

There was so much temptation to destroy what is left of my non-functioning mind. 

So that I would cross that finish line as a pile of metal bones....

Shockwave of affectively laden numbness

Functioning trait through the plumes of dysfunction

Tempestuous fever in hibernation

Enclosed coffin emotions decomposing

Discoloration life's defibrillation

Premium Member Life
Life is an amalgamation of chemicals and elements
Independently functioning to attain and maintain the whole.
From stardust and chaos, cells fashioned themselves into existence,
Evolving, propagating, and achieving higher consciousness....

Knowledge is,

Man's incomplete understanding of 

The universal laws of Cosmic functioning


While


Wisdom is,

The well-kept secrets of creation's structure 

Possessed only by the great Architect!

Paraphrase of Scripture
Jesus can take a melted mess of human corrosion and squeegy it up... form us into a functioning human being with structure and strength; a pillar of hope for others and ourself.

Encourage one another as Christ encourages us....

Service in Christ, Faith and Works is a winning combination!!...

Tragedy In Black
Tragedy in Black

Come,
Feel it.
Can you sense
Human unrest?
Perhaps jealousy
Creates blurred perception,
Brings unhealthy obsession~
Impairs cerebral functioning
Isolates one and carves out a void.
Trapped in shadows purple black tones avail.

I shall write while I rest 
amid the faint hues channeled 
by a functioning heart bottled 
to perfection during the tranquil 
lessons a masterpiece unfolds 
the infamous characters bonded 
beyond the galleries of distant carny 
and Gothic folklores tampered above 
a shattered notion of writers block...

Knowledge is the incomplete result of Man’s efforts to unravel the secrets of the cosmos 

While

Wisdom is the well kept secret of the functioning of the universe possessed by God alone!*

Premium Member Poetry Contains Revolutionary Power
Yes it does!
Poetry contains
Revolutionary Power
It can alter landscapes,
tear down governments,
cause the populace
to rise up,
create a ruckus,
transform morals,
foster a new
way of thinking,
bring emotions
to a tempest,
entice new beliefs,
systematize evolution,
inform you,
all the while
functioning for the
good of humanity....

Sparse Time
miniscule buds popping up
yet they never make a whisper
ants trotting in a line
rarely seen through my eyes
air flowing past my lips
all without 
a single acknowledgement through the process
countless lives wandering the universe
functioning all around
so much to be seen 
with sparse time
and not enough senses
to experience all
 in a single lifetime...

The Fart Factory
Different firm within the factory
The location the belly
Cowpea the raw material be
Having brought into the factory
But afore processed to be boiled
The tongue a transporter
From the gate of the mouth
Passing through the oesophagus track-way
Enzymes within functioning as workers
And the finished product derived
Distributed by the anus
The fart is produced
For the consumption of the people...

Abandoned In Favour of Hope
Everything built to be abandoned, 
Except for hope.

Everything will decay one day, 
Except for hope.

Everything will be given up at some stage,
Except for hope.

Everything will fail, eventually,
Except hope.

My hope is that humankind,
Will live out its time in peace,
That as long, as our hearts are functioning,
Love will have a home,
Hate will have nowhere to grow,
And joy will know no bounds....

Premium Member The Functioning Psychopath
Emotion has no place in the operating room, emotion cost lives.
Every time emotion comes into play, patients needlessly die.
In the operating room I am an emotionless machine.
I have a success rate that no neurosurgeon has ever seen,
and when I return home, I continue to be,
this total void of emotion human being.
I am a functioning psychopath,
pushed by my environment towards a direction of a positive path....

Gone
suddenly i was
am a nothing
not a me or an i
not a you

not a thing

my nothingness IS

mind threw-up
it is still somewhere
just much less full of itself

i am a high functioning human
but that nobody is now just a mirage

look at my mirror, see nothing but
infinite space

being

even later
or was it earlier

i was terrified at what i had become

always was
then

i was everything
and now i am gone...

History
Shattered, but still beating,

It is locked away to heal.



Functioning without meaning has become the norm in this God forsaken hell hole.

Love became life, and in turn created a universe. 
Where gravity moved central to everything personal.

Life became love, fearing solitude and darkness
and a notion of hope is destroyed for basic human need.
 



Shattered, but still beating,

It is locked away to heal....

End Slam End
Apocalypse now

Not a car on the road

Nor functioning street light

Mad Max

All hope and will exhaused 

Acres of land in which to be buried

Gone is the silver

The fuel and the food

Nothing but desert

And the stench of failure

And the sight of the sun setting
over a depressing horizon

Over a world more suited swathed
in darkness

Dark is the end before 
and the after shock

Suffer all yee children...

Of Powers and Principalities
Life on a cellular and corporeal level seems to be
A relationship of complex interdependence
Where each living unit acknowledges a central theme
And concedes that theme to be more important than itself 

This principle of functioning interdependence
Expresses the “will” of a conglomerate yet separate living organism

Should we assume this general principle stops with us
Merely because we no longer have a “safe” detached vantage point...

Premium Member The True Colour
I recall analyzing with some loon
Playing the role of a human being
A role my intellect almost fell for.
The fine night was about to be called soon
Until I’ve witnessed her chance of keying
All cause her functioning brain became sore
Was constructive criticism a sin?
Or was it a chance for her unplanned fleeing?
At least I’ve seen her colour behind a closed door..
Worthless pieces of paper in the bin
          and on the floor
