New Society
Coming to a new planet into the humanity's life,
or just a new planet into the humanity's life?
Humanity can not live without a new life; dead past
The new planet must get a better society; and peace of life
from where? And how? The answer to this question is closed
– The new planet needs new life with new humanity, dropped the last
But what should the new social system be like? Human-made? Again??
– We can see humanity’s war and mass murders.
– Oh, God! – Said Satan.
So, what is the solution? – Satan asked. The answer is obvious. – He spoke again.

Oh,my dear tech termite, You have a harmless bite,
Are you afraid of the light?
I have seen you only at night, Your social system is bright, Are you an ant knight? You never escape my sight.
Black life matters
The world is in one mind,
“ Black life matters.”
we wholeheartedly agree with the downtrodden
and we must remedy this inequity.
With books in hands, and not guns.
To pay, like we paid the Jews for the holocaust
is to reduce suffering down to cash.
For the black race, it is about dignity and equality
nothing more nothing less.
We the working-class brown or white are slaves
under the laissez-faire economic system which
has brought poverty and death for a majority
of people: who is going to pay us?
There is only one way, change the social system
that benefit us and let us work together
to the road to racial tolerance.
It doesn't matter if you write your senator or congressperson,
prime minister, king, queen or president.
It doesn't matter if you protest, vote or sign a gazillion petitions.
All of your efforts accomplish absolutely nothing.
I'll say it again,
All politics and politicians are immersed in corruption,
and are all absolutely incapable of solving any of the world's problems.
It's time for an alternative way of doing things,
by applying science and technology into the social system,
which could easily provide abundance globally to everyone,
but if everyone remains complacent continuing to not take any action,
I guarantee you, nothing better will ever happen,
as we continue yet again down a path of one more failed system.
Small Beginnings
To record the simple things in life is important because they are a mirror
of everyday folks life. “A Person collided with a hand cart a suitcase fell
off and was damaged,” this news, from the local paper.
What do we know? The owner of the damaged suitcase could develop
a hatred against handcart handlers and set out to eliminate them.
Another handcart driver found murdered, the police are baffled, the only
The clue is a broken empty hand luggage it had been purchased in a Chinese
shop and had many finger smudges on.
At the beginning of this murder spree few took an interest but when 25
Handcart handlers had been murdered; it was time to avert the sight stop
slandering Putin and useless civil wars in the Middle East, take a vigorous look
the social system. A young reporter, now a respected political journalist
was able to solve the case, because he was the one as a cub reporter wrote
about the accident, remembered it only because the hurt in the eyes of
the suitcase owner’s eyes, the beginning of an unforgiving hatred
The clock ticks
When will the world fix
Everyday concerns
As in, equality for all
And an educational system
Where all learn?
No more Ivy League colleges
For bragging rights
All knowledge is to enhance
Ones insight
For employment
No more unbalanced scales
For opportunity
All shall be able to hear
The bell
The clock ticks
When will people fix
A social system
Where all men mix?
The Chimp in Us
Frodo, the chimp, took on the old leader and won,
the old one has to flee into the jungle, and is now
ostracized…the strongest always win, just like us
the strongest nation tries subjugating the weak ones.
We humans have been able to set up a social system
that works, even if at times shakily, if not old me,
would be reduced to eat banana leaves and rotten
fruit discarded by the victorious.
The war in Syria is a young man´s battle they try to
get rid of the old rulers and when they win, they
will, the future is not rosy for losers, who will be
killed or sent into exile. The strict rule the fanatical
will try to enforce makes me shudder. Frodo too
shall be slain or sent into exile… chimps and us have
much in common we seek power for our ego that
is only satisfied when dominance is absolute.
