Wanted: Urgent Rapid Gentrification Attention demons, devils, abominations. Do you seek an empty soulless husk? An unassuming unwanted meat puppet? Look no further, for here I am, in the flesh! This rotten mobile corpse just needs repairs Rebuild and renovate, improve and renew it Gentrify it! Its previous owner doesn't give a **** Use it and make it better! Change it till it's unrecognisable! All for the cheap cheap price, of a single condition: Destroy the soulless spirit currently haunting within

Gentrification
You see me buy Ultraman toys, You see an immature manchild. You don't see me yearning for a hero, For a world where justice triumphs. You see me buy imported Aussie foods, You see an unpatriotic, wasteful elitist. You don't see me desperately trying, To stay connected with a cherished past. You see me buy desserts and snacks, You see someone ignorant of health. You don't see me having already lost The ability to find sweetness in life. You see me purchase and consume, You see someone unwise and rash. Alright, I will give you that, my being irrational. But did you see, the ever-growing Maddening, never satisfied, void of darkness Consuming my spirit and sanity? If only... I can literally... Shop til I drop dead......

Hyperconsumption
Looking at this infernal reality From within this corpse prison I forsake the oppresive traditions Of longevity and long distances "Here for a good time, not a long time" What's the point of the 'scenic' route? To watch the decay and downfall helplessly? No, if they will not legalise a direct flight I shall have to numb myself with my own shortcut. Pass me the sugars and fats and carbs please.

Shortcut
2020 was terrible, and that Is quite the understatement. And yet... There were gifts; Should I feel guilty for saying that? Oh, for months, I needed no shoes To say nothing of brakes & wheels Then, unforeseen urgency at work My meat jail is needed at the office Footwear was such a weird sensation. But that is nothing, to the next sight. The busy road, one that always jammed... EMPTY! This is a miracle! Beyond miraculous! Why, the drive to work, never so smooth! The time it took, how amazingly short! And all this, at safe and careful speeds! ...... And now, everyone is back on the road again. Worse, social distancing between humans Also became a thing, I sorely missed Jams on the roads, sardines among humans.

Traffic
My mind has left the building I enter into uneasy dreams From a cage of flesh and bone. My vessel, now a turtle My shell, so nigh impenetrable Yet lighter beyond imagination A breeze with scent of lavender Helps me escape this senseless rock No direction, without destination, I float, I fly, I spin around, Through incomprehensible cosmos I surf and sleep on icy comets Strangely, I did not stop thinking I pondered, I imagined, I wondered I even dreamed, of platinum unicorns. What is this, I ask the black holes Are we all but nightmares and visions Of some ****** hallucinating gods?

Aimless Floating
Suddenly, I was a unicorn With silver fur and eyes My mane and tail bright blue And of course, an ivory horn Then, I was entrusted a duty Of the greatest significance I must officiate the wedding Between twilight and sunset Under cheering delighted stars The lovers' carriage descended With orchestral accompaniment By the winds and the waters A giant, fluffy purple puppy Guided the wonderful brides Towards my podium of petals In this iridescent cathedral Before this divine couple I was so small, and so short Yet, they are not intimidating I felt bliss, and very blessed With the help of a blue cloud I gently crowned the goddesses Deepest pride swelled within me I proclaimed their eternal bond Fireworks shimmered and sparkled As they fed each other honey cake Seeing them kissing passionately Is truly the most touching scene An elven queen suddenly kissed me And now I am a shark-tailed merman Getting ready for a new nuptials Between adventure and mystery

KNOT
I was in a cozy café The window a shield From rain and wind Then, something strange A woman in a suit Drenched, dancing With a laughter Louder than lightning I watch, coffee forgotten She notices, and waves Before I realise, I have stood before her Raindrops, crystalline On her long hair The weighted wet suit Hinders her agility not She grabbed my hands The cold howling winds Suddenly turned melodic Lightning now mere lighting Her smile, her eyes Mesmerizing, hypnotic I suddenly remembered How fun used to feel Yet, I cannot recall This soaked siren in suit Nor do I understand Why the street is sinking Upon her sudden kiss I awake to the storm Outside my train window Was that, a surreal omen?

To my dumb self if i did not care i would not dare chart your death i would sing only your happy lies picking the best ignoring the rest but i am no positivity lover i cannot cover your many flaws and stupidity so if i snarl at your euphoric moments your subterranean prejudices... the callousness of your distractions your many unkindness bear with me beloved love and hate are forged in the same broken mind faults in another that would not matter in our loved ones assume cataclysmic proportions one loathes the worst in those one knows the best and if i did not care i would not dare chart your many dreams of death

I am not a leader, but even I know Terrible leadership when I see it Did their brains have lead poisoning? I am not a parent, but even I know Toxic parenting when I see it coughasiantigerparentscough I am not a pious man, but even I know Hypocrisy and selective intepretation Seriously, who are you to judge my morals? I am not a teacher, but even I know Education is more than exams Granted, teachers are not fully to blame. I am not a helicopter pilot, but If I see you fly yours then get stuck in a tree I can still confidently and accurately say You really ****** up, big time.
