AI epoch is upon us,
White collars, re-fix your focus,
Take, if ye can, a clue,
Time ticks from White to Blue,
Do something, not to miss the bus.

Note: The age of bookish knowledge is fast getting over. One has to develop unique edge in his specialization. White collars may beware. Deep insight in so-called blue-collar jobs will fetch premium in skills like plumbing, carpentry, electric, repairing and the like, which AI cannot, will be in demand.
“Let’s fly together
I’m the pilot; you’re the stewardess…”
Such is articulated by my special child!
Thus, we soar beyond clouds
inside his wheelchair-turned space craft.
Devoid of wings, there we zoom
toward the stars
enthralled by celestial bodies
midst triumphant glee.
Exploring freedom with zest
we bow gratefully to God
praising Him midst miracles
acknowledging His specialization
for impossibilities*...
Concluding our journey
we meet angels of sweet kindness
ready to distribute heavenly goodies
for well-wishers in the orphanage.
*Luke 1:37 For with God nothing shall be impossible.

Examination
Experimentation
Contemplation
And concretization
Have carried you to the
Ethereal spheres...
Swimming in the clouds
Sleeping on the laps of galaxies
You casualize the constellation.
Spacialization
Becomes your
Specialization
Racists today are those who label others racists.
It’s no different than labeling someone a witch
long ago
in the hope of directing the hysteria of the crowd
their way.
People who are insecure
for whatever reason
need to bring others down
to justify being down themselves.
Is it racist to acknowledge racial differences?
Of course not,
just as it isn’t speciest to acknowledge differences in species.
People who acknowledge these differences are called
biologists.
People who acknowledge racial differences in humans
are called talent scouts (doctors and detectives)
as their racial profiling
gets them looking in the right places
for the best athletes, artists, scientists, engineers (diseased and criminal).
The world is, if nothing else,
a place of specialization and differentiation
each region, each people
evolving its own
strengths and weaknesses.
And if this reality offends you
you’re likely one of those accusing others
of being racists.

African continent in my dream
Must be the most learned continent
Millions possess strong degrees
Obtained from various universities
Bachelor of Arts in creative miseries
Bachelor of Science in serial denials
Master of Arts in pure ignorance
Master of Science in durable sorrow
There are many doctoral degrees
Earned from Universities of hope
Awarded by the council of desire
After specialization in failed prayers
The degrees obtained by desire,
Are they of any value to this Africa?
Can they catapult Africa development?
Answers are deep in your heart!
Those offered only some education
Those ones denied all education
Children crashed in conflict zones
Babies who peep and go back home
The denied, the crashed, peepers
Go away with imaginary degrees
Bachelors, masters doctoral degrees
With wasted opportunities and loss
So it happens in African homeland
Who can redeem it if not the divine?
Will the Twenty First Century be the end for *****Sapiens?
Can human minds and psyches stand up to the speed of change being metered out?
Today, we make more decisions in a day than were made one hundred years ago in a week. Where does it go from here?
How does a mind that was designed to procreate and survive in the wilderness deal with the ever increasing complexity of the Twenty First Century?
Specialization enabled the dilution of the pressure amongst the inhabitants, but this is being saturated. Machines and computers were able to diffuse the onslaught for a time, but this too is running its course. In fact, these adaptations are now adding to the dilemma.
Psychological coping mechanisms being stretched to the breaking point.
Can humans meld with their technology enabling a quantum leap in coping capabilities, or will this simply drive people insane?
Will we simply off load everything to technology leaving us all free to focus on creativity ignoring the rest?
For us to survive and thrive I think plan B is the best.
I am me
This I life
The one bit of it that I aptly perceive is –
Life isn’t free
Life is the most invaluable thing
Providence, intelligent as it is
Mustn’t be prone to waste its resources
Each living thing a capital to a definite end
Each and everything is alive
Ask the scientist of the day and they’ll agree
It thus befits that everything exists for a specific interest
Specialization is key if we are to fully live
There’s exquisite order in every aspect of life
The solar system tells of an infinite intelligence
The social life with all its rulers and orders
Tells of the existence of a more superior, infinite rulers and orders
A spoon is almost like a fork
…but definitely different from it
A fork may attempt to do what a spoon does
But never as efficiently
We are what we are
Each in his and her diverse respect
Focus only on the deeds you best can
Let me specialize on being the best I can
…and let’s leave the rest
From the elephants to the ants
Each as important to the benefit of Mother Earth
Life has us all, with intention to co-exist
Lets all live actively, for Mother Nature’s benefit
Melodious kaleidoscope
of broken glass,
Its mosaic montage
consumes lost encounters;
a toasting ceremony
for what perished.
Committed specialization
expires unrewarded.
Sand dollars of short-sightedness
decorate
the exacting goddess
of broken importance.
Sliced open,
laid bare,
and reassembled,
the vintage gown
of fractioned fragments
unites again
with the society of tarts and cakes.
The time bundle
of formulated heartbeats,
pulsate
expansion and contraction
into
the altered ambiance
of passion’s fragrant fable.
