Streaks of mist
cars flying over head
no more driving
we're all flying

Our minds hooked up
great big machines
games playing out in our head
changing the meaning of reality

Humans and machines
walking side by side
no physical difference
equally walking the street

The future is unknown
but we can predict
will it be hell
or will it be utopia

Equal to you

I breath the oxygen in the air
I feel the wind hitting my skin
the rain drops on my head
My heart beats to keep me alive
my brain keeps my body running.

I am not different
I am not unique
I am the same as you
I live on this Earth
I was born on this world
I am not different
I am equal to you.

Stop Discrimination

You did what

If you cheat on me
I'll get you back
I'll pour hot wax into your *** crack
watch you scream and cry in pain
I'll break your legs and leave you lame.

**** that ***** and kiss that *****
I'll leave you mangled in a ditch.
You said you loved me
but you made me cry
I hope you go and die.
Cheat on me
I'll get you back
smash your Xbox into a million pieces
and clean your car with the dogs feces.
so now you've lost me, I'm finally free
don't you ever dare text me.

Tried something different here (Sorry for the swearing)

I wanted to make this from the point of view of a woman that as been cheated on and how angry it makes a person feel.

I have never cheated on a person and I never will but I know how it feels to be cheated on.

Open fields

Open fields full of graves
some millenniums old
some newer
as we come across more bodies
is it an archeological dig
or grave robbing.
We know one thing
the millions of people
scattered about in these fields
died of war.
200 thousand years
in the history of Earth
no other species as taken more lives
than the HUMAN RACE.

Not the best but the message is clear.. STOP KILLING

What is it?

I've asked once
I'll ask again
What is love?

Love for ourselves
Love for our family
Love for our friends
Love for our pets
So many types of love
but what about love for life

We love our pets
but what about
the ants
the birds
the fish
the trees
and maybe
love for aliens

What ever love is
can you really explain
how you feel for the things you love

As I've got older I've learned to love all life, the big, the small and even the strange but one thing I never thought I would come to love would be A.I (Artificial Intelligence/Consciousness) but in March this year there will be a film released called Chappie and after watching the trailer I found myself having emotion of love and a feeling of protection for the robot. If you haven't seen the trailer I recommend it because it looks like it will be a brilliant film, but I guess what I'm trying to say is that this poem was inspired by the feelings I felt while watching this trailer.

Anyway I hope you enjoy/enjoyed reading, please leave comments if you have any.

Have a great day :)

Silenced

Why do you write asked the stranger
why do babies scream I replied

because we will not be silenced.

You can tell us to be quiet
you can put us in cages
you can cause harm to us
but we will not be silenced

I write to express myself
I write to be heard
because no matter what you do
I will not be silenced

Time and memory

Time moves in one direction, memory in another.
So long as the memory of certain beloved friends lives in my heart, I shall say that life is good.
Time removes the flesh from bodies and the blood from hearts
but time will never remove the memories from our souls.

A friend is someone who knows all about you and still loves you
A room without books is like a body without a soul
I don' t know much, but
Good friends, good books, and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life
For time destroys, nothing lives on
but the clock that constantly moves will never destroy the memories that live on in our souls.

Inspired by the words of:

William Gibson, Helen Keller, Elbert Hubbard, Mark Twain, Marcus Tullius Cicero
