It’s A POWERFUL Thing...
This PAPER With INK... !!!

It’s Powers AMAZE... !!!
And Makes People Behave...
In The STRANGEST of Ways...

It's Something That Factors...
In Those Who’ll Backstab Ya... !!!

It’s Like... POWERFUL Drugs...
That MESS Drug Addicts Up... !!!

Because of Their LOVE...
For The Things That It Does...
Like Get Men These Hot Chicks...
Who Are Quick To Gold Dig... !!!

It Makes Them Spread Their Lips...
When It Buys Diamond Rings... !!!
And Can BUY Marriages... !!!

It Makes Businesses Strong...
Until Stock Values Drop... !!!

It Makes Some People ROB...
And Makes People Do Wrong... !!!

It Makes Some Play Along...
Until All of Its GONE... !!!

It Can Drive Some To Drink...
And Has Made Many Sink... !!!

Into... DEPRESSION...
And Acts of AGGRESSION... !!!

It’s A Powerful Thing... !!!
That Has Made Felons Snitch...

QUICKER Than Crims’...
Facing Life In Sing Sing... !!!
It’s Something That Can STING... !!!
And Teach You Life Lessons...

It’s Good For Investments...
That Bring BIG Returns...

But Can Also Bring Pressures...
If Stocks Take Downturns... !!!

It Should Be Respected...
As Well As Invested...

But It ISN’T Something...
That Should Cloud How You Think... !!!

It Can Make People TRICK...
And Can Leave People DITCHED...
If It’s STOLEN From Heads...

It Can Be What CORRUPTS...
Like It CLEARLY Has Done...

To Gangsters And Lawyers...
And Dodgy Employers... !!!

As Well As POLICE...
And These Politicians...
Who Run World Governments … !!!

And When It Comes To Drugs …
It’s A Thing Used By Thugs …
And These Smooth Criminals …
To Launder Their Funds …
And To Buy Them BIG GUNS …

And Can Be Your Downfall...
And Can Leave You DECEASED... !!!

It May Buy Property...
And The Things That You Need...
But Folks DON'T You Believe...
That It Makes You Happy...

Because That’s FALLACY... !!!

It CAN’T Fulfil YOUR NEEDS... !!!
It Just Buys What You WANT...
And Some... Security...

But Bills DO NOT STOP... !!!
And What It CANNOT Be...
Is Something That Makes...
Your Mind Sound And Healthy... !!!

Now Do Not Get Me Wrong... !!!
It Indeed Gets You PAID...
In Quite A Few Ways...
And Can Now Transmit Quick...
From A Swift Online Click...
On A... Digitised Link...

But DON’T You Ever Think...
That This Is Something...
That Can NATURALLY Bring...
You... LIFE Or CHILDREN... !!!!!

When It Comes Down To It...
It’s Just... PAPER And INK...

But There’s NO Doubting This...
In This World That We Live...

“ It’s A POWERFUL Thing ! “...
Use it wisely, cos' it can do many things, like the poem says.....

it's nothing like they painted in the books,
this thing we call home
where hearts and souls roam;
only throats constantly hanging on hooks

hand in hand at dinner tables, praying;
but what they forgot
was pleading with God
for some patience at 6 in the morning

no laughing under the bright christmas trees,
warm conversations,
pointing stars til dawn;
only tighter grips for a hug and kiss

is it me or them or the books that's wrong?
is home even real,
or a far fetched dream?
because this place feels very far from home

Power...  
the power of health bureaucrats  
has never been more
greatly exercised
since the advent of the
pandemic in our
daily lives

Control...
governments have taken
full control
by which they can stop
us from freely partaking
in an outside stroll

Greed...
big phrama being granted
exclusive rights
to sell millions of jabs
world wide  
thereby excluding other
forms of treatment

oh yes
power control and greed
in these recent times
have become
the cardinal creed

What is Perfect?

Hitting the 1800.
Remaining between the 400-600.
Using the 1/2 and the 1/4.
Because I will never be 1/1, fully complete.

What will define me? What can define my worthy?
In guarantee, undoubtedly.
Like an object, priced and tagged with money.
Value through digits, simple, observable.

How can someone know if art is worthy of display?
All beauty needs an audience.
Beauty in solitude, is wasted potential.
All beauty, needs, an audience.
How else can you differentiate average, from a masterpiece?

I want to be a masterpiece.
Perfect for every eye.

My eyes see perfect too.
In 1/4, in a 1/2, in a 1800.
In the symmetry of the X, and the curve of the S.
I am eXtra Small.
I am a 53.

Numbers are simple, precise and perfect.
They aren't beautiful, they simply are.
Beauty is abstract, it's grey.
I don't like grey, it's uncertain, unsure.

Grey has room for error.
Grey can't be controlled.

I don't have room for error.
I can only control.

I want to be undeniable.

Perfection, over all else.

it is not me
it is the computer

i do what it tells me to
i am puppet to the master

old reality lost
we created

we control it's true
mistakes are made

not by sentient circuits
dumb humans

i own you
when your **** is hard
throbbing in my hand
i love the power
i have over you
relish the control
of pleasure or pain
to make you *** or not
stop begging
quit whimpering
i’ll pump as i please
get you to the edge
remove my hand
watch you squirt
once twice
into nothingness
laughing at ruining
your ******
reminding you
you’ve been pwned
stupid little loser boy

Starting fires
and suggesting that they sit
in flimsy metal pits
from hardware stores or such
is all well and good
until flames remind you
they have no gods,
no morals, just free will,
while the smoke marks you its own
My Dear Poet Jul 2021
the hand controls
the steering

and the steering
controls the wheel

and you my love
control everything

and everything I feel

“maybe this time it’ll be different”
“maybe we can work things out”
“maybe you won’t get hurt”
“maybe you won’t catch feelings”
“maybe you can control the growing feelings and turn them off”
“maybe he’s better as a friend”
“maybe you won’t have *** again”
“maybe this time around he won’t randomly kiss your face goodbye, leaving you wondering what it meant and wanting more all at once”
“maybe this time he won’t tell you he loves you when you’re ******* for the third time that day”
“maybe this time he’ll stop talking to other girls”
“maybe this time he’ll hide the other girls better”
“maybe this time he’ll hurt you enough to stay away”
“maybe this time you should just stay away”
i’ve realized that the word “maybe” has made its bed within my head and is living there rent free,
all because i cant seem to break free,
from you.
