 Nov 1 Asher
Rai
Fingertips
In  doughnut jam
I licked my lips
And it began

You came up slowly from behind
And moved serenely to the side
I held my breath
And you did say
It’s for your soul
That I do pray  

The devil in
the machine

I heard the crowd roar
And then they clapped
And wanted more

Foolish games
Wicked spells
The youth I own
Had left as well

Now stand I
A foolish fellow
Who wishes
More than ever
That Id stayed mellow

But no I jumped up
Ready for battle
My armour made a mighty rattle

I saw you off
You I will slaughter
Now keep away from my daughter x

You're the ones not recognised
Even if you stood by,
Although prophesied
You were backsided
You're made by people
Sometimes learnt from
Sometimes bent for
Yet you can be valued
But devalued
I feel you.
Broad branches,
Tough bark.
Potentially a sculpture,
Or page,
Or foundation.
You were always beautiful
Idk how to deal with these emotions but I’m not ready for them to leave yet so I think I’ll sit in them and remember what it feels like to be held by someone who truly believes they care

If you walk, you slip
If you stop, you stall
If you touch, you stick
If you drop, you fall

In the eternal,
In the eternal now.

If you give, you take
If you kneel, you bow
If you dream, you wake,
If you seek, you doubt,

And when night shadows blend
With the light of the dawn
Remember to forget
That you've come to depart

In the eternal,
In the eternal now.
Written in September 2020.
New verse added in November 2024.

October thirty first
is officially Halloween
you might get cursed
by little witches who are mean. Lol
They might get a trick
or possibly a treat
might be a broomstick
to have for a seat.
They'll have a lot of fun
going door to door
walking with everyone
getting candy and more.
Meet a lot of friends
see a lot of costumes too
this night is to spend
remembering this night for you.
For don't eat to much
You'll have a lot to save
different candies and such
then you won't hardly crave.
Now save some candy
for another day
it'll come in handy
They'll go along way.

It's easier to envision the end of humanity than the end of capitalism
