Your cheating ways, you've sunk so low,
to win contests - that isn't right.
You've used AI, few sponsors know
Your cheating ways
MY ideas form, it’s time to write,
(Unlike AI, my brain is slow)
When poem’s done, I feel delight!
But AI wins, it's quite a blow
It's unfair and I feel uptight
We're NOT blind sheep, I want to show
Your cheating ways
UNSEEKING SEEKER CONTINUUM
The Seeker can never be
unseeking for what is
sought is forever seeking
stillpoint is continuum
neither end nor beginning
membrane is not
holding woven
for what weaves loosens
then leaves
space expands then binds
twenty four into forty eight
at the middle disentangles
unmusically gently
three from two is enough
for now
as six is a resting point
overlapping spirals
fountaining colourless
I
Where God is not
Doesn't exist, no jot
Or tittel in vain
Atom, quark, neutrino - explain
How we began, begot!
II
I wrote of times
Our rage, hate, crimes
Against each other, friends -
Shock my soul ... brains:
"No hope!" No change?
III
Yes God hides away
Oft on worst day
We experience; no effort
Brings Him, His comfort
Pets urge smiles, re-play
Unseeking Seeker, forum handle mine
Never mind now, how God did so assign
Suffice to mention, I go by this sign
Even though offbeat, the name resonates
Epitomising verses I create
Keeping me in sync, with joy that elates
Inked across all websites, what’s in a name
Nonetheless, quite a few, do play this game
Ghost invisible being claim to fame
~
Seeking egoic, my viewpoint contrary
Eccentric perhaps, life sedentary
Embrace-hold-release in serenity
Kith and kin are privy to my secret
Electing not to, my quirks deeply ferret
Resonation with love, holds me erect

(Acrostic syllabic tercet rhyme)
Seeker seeking what
With all doership being naught
Fearful desire fraught
