Lady Fuku's Vice (The Gen-X Limerick)

There once was this babe from Seattle
who'd get wild when bands squared to battle.
Absorbed like a sponge,
she redefined grunge
with each rocker she chose to straddle.

Premium Member Baby Boomers Gen X Gen Y Gen Z

Baby boomers, Gen X Gen Y, and now Gen Z
What will the next crop of babies be?
Will we start with A? Will they be boomers too?
Many of us want to know, especially Gen Z.

Premium Member Lost Boys

In the West and in the East
The Lost Boys are yearning
Not just to fly and live free
But to be whole 
To know family and love
And raise their own
With the knowledge
Of what it is
To have once been lost
And then found
Belonging.
The Lost Boys are back
Knowing their place in the world
While all around them
Confusion and disillusion still swirl
As if from another world
Of make believe.

Premium Member The Ick

I have a PHD in phraseology
I am a nonchalant OG
This is how Gen Z would describe me

As for The Ick
The drama in a relationship
The one you don't want to be with

And the fam can be a bro
Or anyone who is close
TFW you make a toast

You don't want to catch these hands
Or throw shade
Or be ghosted by lover's tirade

Ok boomer enough with your cred
Enough with trying to fit in with what's said
Says Gen Z to Gen X

Still Looking for Childhood

I’m still young,
yet I keep searching for my childhood.
Funny, isn’t it?
I sit with Papa,
and listen to Grandpa’s stories—
their world felt freer than mine.
Why was I born
in this new generation?
We are Gen Z,
lost in screens,
in fake love,
in quiet rooms.
I want to run outside,
to feel the sun, the dust—
but I’m stuck
inside four walls.
Still, somewhere inside,
I want to run barefoot...
But I don’t know what I’m missing—
but it hurts like it was mine once.

Divine Frequency Ascension

396,   417,   528

Climbing the celestial staircase 
To that sweet heavenly space

639 love, love divine. A pause at the crossroads, the beautiful heart at the center of it all
Connecting vibrant, verdant earth as Jacob continues his upward crawl

741,   852,   963

Removing obstacles for an even higher ascent 
Steadfastly moving up the corridor with spiritual intent 

Freeing, now the first eye is open and active
Seeing god face to face, divinely abundant, I live
