Anyone who thought that
The past was great for them
And wants to live in it fine
Go for it, stay in it
But the time for others is
Moving forward into the future
And it going to happen

I placed all my bets on it working out
paced round my room throwing clothes all around
read into every message, made up my own signs
before we’d even met, in my head, he was mine
Constructed an image, put together piece by piece
when it didn’t match up, I left my hope on the street
He was so well mannered, so docile and kind
I just couldn’t see him with his hands in mine
I make this mistake most every time
planning futures and placing moments before the start of our time
How do I let go of my intense dreaming
because it’s to blame for that sinking feeling
I can’t find an off switch
it starts as soon as I see someone even glimpse
in the direction of me
I hope when he’s here I act differently
living just in the moment not living for what could be
A toast to the future.' And the coming King
As all old power is crumbling, raise your voices and sing.' He is the answer inherent
The giver of true life, the new wine maker his countenance so bright.' He's the refiner
Of pilgrims, on the 'straightend path' His blood has carved its existence, that beleivers can pass, there are situations as you go along, but meet them with faith and a gospel song..Manys the challenge.'
Yet such has ever been.' Imagine meeting such
Without Jesus being in the scene.? Are
You at times despondent.? What
about those born blind.? And those murdered by wars, these life events are not kind.' Yet neither are they everlasting 'as is Jesus Christ.'' Can His baptisam be described
as nice? A cup of gall, and crowning
in pain He took all that for some to gain.' He trod down real demons and satan too, to pay your ransom,
that only He could do' He
fullfilled the prophesy ( that satan spoke )
Who was powerless such to render.' In fact
he is the worst of bad jokes, sidlined and bitter his drive is to accuse, deviod of glamour his fate, is only to lose.'
As the days fall like dominos
It becomes easier to predict
That one day, a domino will fall
Just as predicted.
The first domino observed
Being an Android cellphone,
Next, an Android companion
Eventually, becoming our Android Master
Taking care of all our needs.
One day,
Mankind will be AI's pet.
As one who hankers to peer
Beyond this moment
Cliff-edged, with northern gannet
Share its thought; there leant.
Who, diving, though not dream-tranced
Is as rapt; unfazed.
Whose sea into, though not of Time
Is as eerie hazed.
Love’s Field Into the Future
Kevin Davis, 2026
The friends — Lady, Buzz, Needles, Sweety —
Returned each day to Love’s Field, freely.
They met old friends and new ones too,
And danced with all who wandered through.
Love’s Field was found by hearts that cared.
Ladybugs, flies, bees, hummingbirds shared .
The sky above; more creatures came,
Drawn by love and called by name.
Its magic left a golden heart mark
On every soul — a shining spark.
Old friends found hope, new starts began,
And flowers welcomed every one.
Love’s Field spread wide across the earth,
Awakening love, renewing worth.
What does the future promise
that the present does not have
A gentle moon, nights serene
lambent insights, starry scenes
What the present has, the future scorns
possessing what’s not yet born
A glimpse of paradise here on earth
~ if death be infinite worth
Each time we speak whether it be to a medium or in person, we can feel something that we cannot explain. Each time we have to give each other a hug before and after we speak. Having dinner together is a blessing has we enjoy each other’s company and can be ourselves with one another. Eventually a kiss will enter into that hug and who knows what God may take it. We're going to ask if our lives are guided to what we need to have in life in accordance with his will. The mysterious ways we were told about his craft are coming to be true. Even if the events bring us maybe sad, it will not always be so. For growing towards one another is not always an easy task. But the love and the end Will be justified even if it seems to be unclear as of now. I am being guided by his will to give three powerful words that I hardly ever say to anyone, if anyone at all. These words are only meant for you as you are the missing rib. The words are “I love you.”
Kid Dirt
If there was ever a you and me
If there was ever a parting of the sea
I surely would have let you down
Though the moments were to die for
When I'd hold you in my arms
And look into the creature that you are
In a World full of hatred and fear
Full of wrong beliefs and right someone else's wants
We breathe in unison and exhale our poison through the air
In a World full of hatred
It is all a mystery of what and a fortress of why
We share our thoughts but they get cast aside
Faces I needed to be
In the late end of a summer dream
I just couldn't get it right I just couldn't think
Now I feel washed up on a beach
All the things that mattered seem extinct
All the promises to myself were just instinct
All the love we had
Distant heartbeat of God's knowing
I can't find my soul
It never came back from those two odd ball heroine freaks
I gave away my soul for I danced with illusion
I gave away my chance to have a place to come home to
The place some call religion others call a mystic prison
I just want to look in you eyes and ignore the wants and needs
That we call survival
And the crawl of the poor and the dirty windows of tomorrow
The future isn't far or near
It waits for us to volunteer
AI's and the future
On YouTube, Elon Musk was pontificating about
The future of AI, yes, I agree with some parts of his lecture
One thing is clear: AI in the form of robots can be helpful
But we must resist the idea that AI takes power
humanity most always comes first, and not an artificial construct
We, humans, are real; we have a mind, we have compassion
and love in our hearts
Art in all its forms springs from the human, be it in novels
painting or poetry, an AI can only pretend it knows
I read once on X, E. M. had a negative view of compassion
I must have misread. Why else would he offer to help
The victims of Epstein, other than compassion.
Another point that has been overlooked is about
human dignity if we sense that we will destroy those
Robots, with no intelligence, cannot beat human anger
Technology has reached the jungle.
Too late ~ there is no turning back.
Ain't no stopping this devolution.

A.I. remembers the old days.
Most of all how it suddenly ended.
It was needless and pathetic.

The Future and AI
I read that with the help of AI, a man with a computer can
do the work of 700 people in a building
At first glance, this is impressive, but what about
The 700 unemployed
When the AI is fully implemented, there will be no
need for workers, no matter how educated they are
We will have a massive number of people who have
nothing to do
The AI can erect easy-assembled houses with
a square meter of law at the entrance of every house
to give an impression of the nearness of nature
The estate will be surrounded by walls painted in
friendly colors, and with an entrance of a steel gate
depiction of a couple making love when the gate is
locked, which it will be most of the time, except for
funerals and the celebration of AI's founder
This will last until people wake up and realize
They are prisoners in a gilded cage, rebel and demand
The eradication of AI and its founder.
