late-century empathy
Ryan Jul 2021
the future is near!
with ultra-mega-sonic trains
and computer chips up in our brains!
who takes pictures with their phones?
we have cameras in our eye cones!
old zoomers may not like the aesthetic
but think, would people be more empathetic?

photos showing exactly how people see

videos and livestreams right from their eyes

one's own thoughts being able to be heard

unfiltered perspectives shared across the world

the current justice system rendered null-and-void

with streams from all the future George-Floyd's

so just take a chance, and you will see
how the future will have more empathy!

human interaction #1

why i hate religion
Ryan Jul 2021
in a land not so far away
people daily sit down and pray
for about an hour, to a higher power

many believe in the Flying Spaghetti Monster
His noodly appendages gracing the world
as goodness comes with each noodle unfurled

others call these people fools!
shouting "no way He's made of spaghetti!"
they think He's made of orecchiette

"spaghetti believers chant worthless cheers!
orecchiette is able to quell all fears
responding to prayers with His little ears"

as tension grows amongst both tribes
violence arises and peace subsides
each sect fights for nothing but pride

and up in the sky, the true Lord knells
She's British and made of Campanelle
staring sadly at the fighting, She loudly yells:

"you ****** lot are all goin' ta' hell!"

sun squall
Ryan Jul 2021
in a thin line,
thunderclouds roll in
late afternoon while the sun is still shining

in the trees,
bluebirds sing the blues
their tunes escaping sounding ever so confused

in the air,
the wind is howling
like wolves chasing prey, teeth clenched, and growling

in the city,
rain crashes down
causing earthworms to dance as drops shake the ground

in your beautiful eyes
watching nature's great fight
it's the never-ending battle between darkness and light

rosacea
Ryan Jul 2021
the day i self-diagnosed myself
with rosacea in my face
is the day the assassination
of the haitian president took place

i wonder if i self-diagnose myself with mumps
might something happen to former president _ _ _ _ _?
no political hate in any way, i just like making rhymes :)

illogical coding anthem
Ryan Jul 2021
they say you gotta learn Python to be in the know
pandas, numpy, and tensorflow!

it's like the whole path's been java-scripted
but the iceberg's there and you've not yet tipped it!

the kids on the streets all write ACAB
you gotta get them beat and write in MATLAB!

C with a hashtag and C double-crossed
get to Swift swiftly or you'll be at a loss!

pirates say "arrr" but coders say R
PHP, Ruby, Kotlin, and Dart!

so when you get discouraged, just remember these words:
coding is fun, and it's cool to be a nerd! :)

Yuh kid went through years of abuse
So don't be tryna make a truce

Like juice, they're socially anxious and gotta cut loose
To get their hands on that ripe red caboose!

Cuz tyin' a noose is like killin' a goose
You end up with god in a tragic deuce

i like writing best when i
subject you all to esoteric subjects
subjective glints of my subpar world

but to make one's poems universally translatable
one has to make them inherently relatable
a subject that i find quite debatable

because where's the fun in poetry writing
if i can't write about my old-man-sighting
wielding a lighter in hand, he tried lighting
spilled gasoline, which was quite frightening!

i think he was on crack
Ryan Jul 2021
are you out of your mind?
why not actually read it to see what you find?

ever watched Dead Poets Society?
carpe diem isn't some meaningless lie

because through numerous trials and tribulations
through careful word and phrase manipulation

people write poems that can move your soul
and fill your heart's gaping hole

to my annoying neighbors:
Ryan Jul 2021
why do you keep screaming at your kids?

are your lives that miserable that you think the key
is yelling into the void to set you free?
because im kinda busy writing stupid poetry
and im not the only one on this street who can say it bothers me
because your f-bombs make this place like nagasaki
and i dream of slamming your heads into your ****** oak tree,
and kidnapping your children so they can see
how beautiful the world is meant to be

and holy ****, that thick boston accent
how do you people have *** like that?
"mm smaht pahk yuh 4-inch cahk right ther ***"

anorexia
Ryan Jul 2021
ah say ah say don't eat today!
eating paves your way to pain!
for food is fraudulent fat fuel
and the friggin' fats don't attract the cool cats!
them's the facts!

that's what my brain tells me
when i glance at my pudgy belly

because it's easy to count the kcals
when you can't call any insulin inside

so when we ask you out to dinner
you'd better say no!
since dinner is for food-simping sinners!

just like him
Ryan May 2021
a half century ago,

a child is raised
to have one of his own
it's life's funny way
of keeping me unknown

connected is the family tree
branches held so tight
won't break so easily
no matter all my might

maybe i'll be a science ****
or a mathematician
whatever it is, they say that
i'll be just like him

i said i have to come clean
i'm not who you want me to be
so i bought a can of gasoline
to burn this family tree

after the flame, after the ashes
the light starts to dim
i think, maybe my son will hate me
just like him

i see visions of a dancer

i hope
someday
i'll be there

don't be late, now
it's inevitable fate, how
long will i wait?
observing all this Dynamite
that Eddie Ate

Good Bye to waiting
Good Bye to setbacks
Good Bye to Eddie

start, don't stop

lest i forget

"two week quarantine"
Ryan Apr 2021
across the seas, danger lies
a villain with big goals
a villain of microscopic size

within the schools, children chatter
enthused by prospects of freedom
not knowing how much it matters

over the intercom, principal screams
"we'll be closed for two weeks,
for a brief quarantine"

fatal two weeks, turned to forever
now we've grown farther apart
as we couldn't come together

Contemporary Sisyphus
Ryan Apr 2021
hiking boots brought
green hills climbed
difficult journey, but
only good times

at the top,
barter is offered
paper for grass
is instantly passed

going continues, unknowingly
climbing on air

disruptive, eruptive volcano
freezes the mind
perils of quicksand
prospects of return

lava subsides, turning
freeze to flight

in the distance
a higher peak
is obliviously avoided

dazed and confused,
the hiking man
rendered penniless again
literally about the stock market

Growing Up
Ryan Apr 2021
Stay present, sons and daughters
Hopping around in mud-soaked waters
You all delightfully scream
As if there were ice cream

Laughter spreads as contagious
As the ******-filled book pages
Of the hungry hungry caterpillar
Loved before the fun-killer

All paths are the same
Innocent joy turns to shame
I'll join you all and get my fill
After I pay my electric bill
