Electronically
impulses pass
through the brain
shocking the
insane

I'm never lonely
angels keep me company
singing praise to thee
sadness casting a shadow
just add more vibrato
tears become
smiles and laughter
as in the ever after
where someday i'll be
on a beach by the sea
everlastingly

My only true friends
Father Son and Holy Ghost
those I Love the most

Know where they keep us
running around in circles
round and round we go

The clock is ticking
you all better change your minds
or run out of time

AI takes control
assembly lines for cloning
no originals

Span my conscious mind
passionately cross my heart
unseparated

When the world is bad
remembering
the good times
that we use to have

Out on the fence line
two squirrels
dine side by side
critter crunch and bird seed
seems to make them as happy
as chasing each other
around the trunk of a tree

Nothing left to do
a world ruled by greedy fools
hanging from a fuse

Life expectancy
with the current state of things
limited at best

They must be insane
continuing to build bombs
until we're all gone

All the goods they sell
unfortunately are bad
it's a package deal

Stockpile arsenals
is a new meaning of peace
the latest disease

What will happen to
people who's
wars will not end
simply forgotten

It's funny it seems
jealousy of some machines
for human beings

Sad as the world is
every once in a while
we still have to smile

Try sheathing your swords
not raising them in anger
for unjust causes

Monkeys picking fleas
while hanging around in trees
ooh  ooh ahh ahh fleas

Kernels are popping
candy bar being unwrapped
sipping a soda

What are you doing
follow those who don't love life
is cutting yours short

As the petals spread
a sweet aroma released
temporarily

Where's the intellect
meant to advance the species
must be in deep freeze

Watching the worms squirm
on the road of no return
last stop compost pile

Inevitable
projected world consumption
the future looks bad

What is the future
but a present that worked out
learning from the past

Drawn into a kiss
with all of its loving bliss
like granted a wish

A barbed wired world
hung up on self destruction
always the wrong mood

https://fineartamerica.com/featured/a-barbed-wired-world-kelly-mcmanus.html

Start  of a new day
past only remains as ash
future on its way
seconds minutes hours
months years all seem
to happen only once
like a lifetime of decay
ultimately fading away
start of a new day

Life's always better
no matter mood or weather
when topped with whipped cream

One can only laugh
watching the world pass slowly
wishing if only

This world's fading fast
darkness of the faithless ones
who don't have a prayer

Keep your faith
and know
there's
a better
place
than this
hope to
see
you there

This is the question
will tomorrow ever come
like living in doubt

Babbling brook flows
towards distant memories
and dreams of large seas

Thanks to industry
we'll go back to the stone age
turn another page

The candle stick
is burning quick
and will soon
be out of wick
keeping it lit
will really be
a trick
of magic
to see
if the flame
will remain
alive
sputtering
to survive
its light
flickering
in a soft
breath of air
will it be
dark
or light
again
burning
at both
ends

I am the future
unclouded by the present
or past memories

Implementation
Demilitarization
Self-Preservation

Life is always nice
when there is tranquility
and crisp fresh air after a rain
to breath in again and again
until my lungs
are about to burst
with a satisfying thirst for life
I drink in the colors
that this world pours out
and smile for a moment
no doubt

Birds singing in trees
and a squirrel who waits for me
to feed it peanuts

Mirror images
war's a synonym of hate
often deflected

A deer at a stream
leaning in to take a sip
then leaping away

If only the dream
could become reality
then we would have wings

Take this blank canvas
and make it your masterpiece
with pops of color

Totally unreal
the monetary system
that enslaves the world

Once again once more
their celebration of war
always uniform

As the earth trembles
temperatures increasing
isn't that wave high ?

Civilization.
So tell me, where would that be? 
thumb on a button

I have memories
of the often forgotten
dreams that I wake from
