So what makes the blood red, cynical, he comes from the snow white?
A creature of the night, a digital sprite, a social media knight.
He preaches peace, a paradox it seems, while his feed screams of material dreams.
A modern-day prophet, a guru of the trend, a master of the meme, a friend to the mend.

He yearns for the quiet, a serene escape, from the endless scroll and creating this space.
A philosopher's heart, a comedian's mind, a poet's soul, which truth he'll find.
He seeks solace in the simple things, a cup of tea, a good book, a moment's peace, on a fifteen second thing.
A touch of irony, a dash of wit, a sprinkle of truth, flesh of misfit.
Monday and it's a free day
but like all free days
it comes with a price.

Gotta do the laundry
I have watched it piling up
and it haunts me,

a slow cooker,
no
not me, but
something I'll put the dinner in
to eat at half past three.

Shopping is like an ocean
that is lapping at the door,
wading into town with bags in hand
buying more and more.

already flippin' knackered and
not yet out of bed.
what  is  emptiness..
~
is it a void, or an absence
or maybe the presence
of nothing, no space
or a place of blankness
is it possible to experience
in a true sense
in a broad expanse
emptiness, or is it a state of self
or mind lens
to visualise the dense residence
of empty thoughts at a glance
do I raise myself to face this
emptiness when I see all senses be
out of their command remains
me in a different essence
a blank state within good reasons
be neutralising the outlook
cleaning mind, corners and nooks.
A wise man
once tried to teach me
if all else seems to fail
listen to the universe
the wisdom that it tells.

The voices within
the white noise
unfolding like a spell..
The vibration illuminates
the reasons for your hell..

Open up your spirit's eyes
see what can't be seen…
This is only temporary
all this suffering

I’ve noticed
there’s a lot of sad poems on HP today.

moonlight spilling from her eyes
magic pouring from her lips
the universe in audience of her beauty
even the stars would weep with envy

I am reduced to a category
in the digital lifestyle.
The big giants govern me
Try tricks to entice me
To make it seems savoury
Feed me with bits that will modify me.
AI, advertisements and data,
they'll come together for business
Reduce me to a row of my criteria
They will see they can manipulate
with the day and time of my play.
They know exactly how I will simulate
At the least they have me ready
with the sentiment and numbers to calculate,
And it is only starting to be integrated.
Soon, the super intelligence would rule,
Being omniscient and omnipresent,
A new god on cue.
