#humans poems on Hello Poetry

Mark Wanless Sep 2021

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

Folklore

We don't look up anymore
The stars are still there, but we find them a bore
They don't make any noise
They certainly aren't toys
Stars may as well be folklore

We don't stop to hear the birds
Each day they write symphonies
that go largely unheard
We'd rather listen to TV
than birds in a bay tree
Which to me is completely absurd

We take the sun for granted
Each day she paints masterpieces, but we're not enchanted
We're either begging her to stay
or wishing she'd just go away
Well, one day we'll get all we demanded
When we demolish this jewel we were handed

Human

Our flesh and bone
Circuits of veins and arteries
Not alike the stone
Or even the trees

Complex machines
Blood like a red blush
Not alike the ice
Yet cold to the touch

*** is wrong with humans?

What a foolish and evil thing to do

To strap a couple bombs to you

Run into an airport and attack

Thinking God's got your back

No disrespect to anyone lost in this tragedy.

Status: Strangers

You tell me
you're strong
And I can see it
in your eyes
The way your stories lay
right behind
It's much easier
to trust a stranger
than your own kind
and tell them everything
that's been on your mind
Status : strangers
Relationship : high

Relationship: high
Humans truly are a wonder, this is inspired by a real conversation I had with a stranger today. I loved listening to them, they had so much to say, it got emotional
And we parted with smiles on our faces and felt connected
Beautiful, isn't it?

Want

To want
and to be wanted
is an all too human condition-
or is it a flaw?
Either way,
it is nothing to
feel shame for.

The Religion-Shaped Hole

I have come to realize that
we, humans,
have a religion-shaped hole
in all of our hearts.
What do you fill yours with?

But Mostly It's The Last One

It's genetics,
and it's
environment.
It's meningitis, glandular fever
and the novel coronavirus.
It's bad habits catching up
with me.
It's poison dust and GM foods
and leaded petrol.
It's stress-induced.
It's karmic irony.
It's my sense of foreshortened future
made manifest.
It's a new way of self-harming
on a cellular level.
It's punishment from a god
I don't believe in.
It's the universe replying it
doesn't care.
It's
dumb
*******
luck.

There's a million different
(equally plausible, equally irrelevant)
reasons.
None of them change anything.

BUTTERFLY (HAIKU#1)

A blue butterfly
Used to dance at my garden
Is now, somewhere lost!

Tried to write a #haiku....hope it is a #haiku and follows the scheme of 5-7-5!😅

I'm just an animal, what do you expect?

I've learned to know without thinking
In fact, I barely even use my brain
I'm dumb.
But I know a few things
And at least I have a heart
