We can't replace mankind
  with a new form of **** Sapiens
  if we could, how sure are we
   that would be a better breed?

Modern society is afflicted with TMI (too much information),  truth and sense are missing.  Civilisation is dying a little every day and is on the brink of insanity and inanity.

Are we better in the face of science and technology?

I sit here many a night
For no reason tears escape from my eyes.
I don’t know for sure why they are there.
I seek within my soul
I seek within my heart
I seek within my being.
Answers don’t seem to arrive.
No matter how deep I seek.
No matter how I feel.
I can not find an answer.
I have been alone for most of my life
And maybe this is the center of the problem.
My past,
No matter how much I try to deflect
Bounces around my mind
Twinging my heart
Pinching my soul
I guess the source is,
I have been alone
For most of my life.

Slavery’s spread, not abolished—take heed!

Slavery’s hidden—like air, yet it’s real.
Fish think the seabed is part of the deal.
If it had pockets, distinct and confined,
Vice would be clearer to most of mankind.
Yet the fool "thinks"—all is fine, all is well,
Though he himself is the stronghold of hell.
Fish need their water, and fools need their lies:
Shake not the "truth" that is veiling their eyes!

Fables ⇒
Labels.
Rage in New—
This will vanish out of view.

I have been thinking back over my years
Trying to figure out for who I am looking.
I am not looking for someone to walk in front of me,
I am not searching for someone to follow me,
I am seeking someone to walk beside me.
To be able to tell tales both tall ones and short ones.
The ability to discuss what has happened in ones life,
And the two of us able to adjust to what was discussed.
To be able to laugh and raise ones hearts feeling.
Having the ability to cry enough to empty ones pain.
Doing things together whether big or small.
Having a hobby or two that both can share.
To have the knowledge on how to look deep into the others eyes
While being drawn deep into the others soul.
To walk hand in hand,
Where ever we are walking together.
Being able to sit quietly,
Listening to music,
Watching the television,
Reading books.
While never worrying what the other was thinking.
To be one but also be an individual.
The want to please the other,
Before themselves were pleased.
I have been looking for someone just to be with
And I have been doing this since I was 15.
Thinking more than once that I had succeeded.
But so many, many years later
I am still looking.

It might sound a little trite to say so
But the tiniest specs
Keep on appearing to me
Might I add without guise
But always unexpected
As if to say to the largeness of the world
Hey, back off!

I see that table sometimes at night, when
My dreams stretch colorful and bright
That table is lit up by the softest glow,
With smiles and laughter evermore

On that table, there’s a seat,
Saved especially for me. It’s comfortable
And blue, exactly how I like it, and I feel
This deep and lingering warmth as I sit

As I sit, I find I’m laughing, and around me
Everything is soft and warm - conversation
Flows unstoppered, and I bask
In its healing balm

I see that table sometimes, and I know
It’s waiting for my exact glow.
