#colony - Hello Poetry

Doorkeeper, where can I find an attention spanner? Wrenching the nose, brings forth blood, so it don't freeze, yawn and rub eustacy from your wide open heavily hooded eyes Eutopian Earthian Mind Schemes, not dreams, moral equivalency resets/upgrade Free any ostiarius, and find doors open in the realm of curiosity, the bane of short attention, at tenere, eh, stretch the fabric of reality just so far, the bubble we be sayin' wagwan like a password, pops and what is going on, lets any enter, imagining this exclusive, exceptionalist aweformed bubble… when a reader re ads attention tension, pop, the idea that was the weasle, offers a way to say this and get free. An ostiarius, freed from slavery when we read the idle teacher of decolonizing clogged cognitive colons… and the sweet persuaders remind us whose time\ Yours, we took this much attention, but you can still use it, we sorta cloned you.

Free the ostiarius,

Doorkeeper, where can I find an attention spanner? Wrenching the nose, brings forth blood, so it don't freeze, yawn and rub eustacy from your wide open heavily hooded eyes Eutopian Earthian Mind Schemes, not dreams, moral equivalency resets/upgrade Free any ostiarius, and find doors open in the realm of curiosity, the bane of short attention, at tenere, eh, stretch the fabric of reality just so far, the bubble we be sayin' wagwan like a password, pops and what is going on, lets any enter, imagining this exclusive, exceptionalist aweformed bubble… when a reader re ads attention tension, pop, the idea that was the weasle, offers a way to say this and get free.

Through the forest grass, a lockstep march. Neat columns of silent striding teams. To ground they go, to burrow deep. Bringing prizes foreign and mundane Can they look into the giants above? There is no time to dream. Hurry home! Your colony calls and the task is but half done

Tonight Tonight Alone in bed I'm crying. Tonight Tonight Dark eyes lose their spark All because somebody lied And they don't feel cornered It's what they've learned from a colony of lustful hearts Tonight Tonight All I feel Is heartbroken Tonight Tonight I'm close but feel so far Someone always lies And they never feel cornered It's what they've learned From a colony of lustful hearts Tonight Tonight I'll cry on your shoulder Tonight Tonight I refuse to rot Although someone lied I won't let it keep me cornered I won't be a consequence From the colony of lustful hearts

Colony of Lustful Hearts

Tonight Tonight Alone in bed I'm crying. Tonight Tonight Dark eyes lose their spark All because somebody lied And they don't feel cornered It's what they've learned from a colony of lustful hearts Tonight Tonight All I feel Is heartbroken Tonight Tonight I'm close but feel so far Someone always lies And they never feel cornered It's what they've learned From a colony of lustful hearts Tonight Tonight I'll cry on your shoulder Tonight Tonight I refuse to rot Although someone lied I won't let it keep me cornered I won't be a consequence From the colony of lustful hearts

No man is an island But I am a colony Of an empire who thrives Off of its own jealousy. I am always being governed By what people think Could I get out of it? Alone I might sink. Am I your ally? We're not treated the same I'm sorry for my history But you're part of the blame. I have to get away I'm sick of hearing who 'won' I don't know how I'll do it It's not going to be fun. I don't like this policy I should be governed by me I'm a superpower Not somebody's colony. No one is an island And we all need someone But maybe from a distance Vive ma révolution!

hill ant hill an ant hill a perfect ant hill a perfect ant hill it was a perfect anthill erected a perfect ant hill erected at will by ants and ants and army of disciplined ants. ants of many kinds, sizes and colors erected an ant hill the design was grand, nice to look at like a cathedral,functional. we love the ants for being so versatile,co-operative and creative Do ants possess minds, ability to think,organize, put decisions in to actions?Or do they just have an instinct,prompted by nature, how do they receive it?Even if we are yet to find out such secrets,many of us are skeptics."All this is like the crawling leaches, inscribing letters on smooth surfaces, inadvertently" they vehemently argue.And there remains the million dollar question,seeking answer:even tiny ants,could make millions of their ilk do amazing things, why oh! why, the most intelligent of living things, at least replicate the feats the community of ants, at a scale, proportionate ?If these disciplined insects, in spite of their small brains could be a great example, why can't human's be like them, behave more responsibly , take charge of their own destiny, construct, not destroy. Every ant hill in silence, asks us many questions, we walk past pretending that we heard nothing, that could disturb our peace.

Your bust is going to make me combust Turning my pain into rust Your soul should be one of the few things i trust A pizza with a refined crust You're steaming when the summer kicks in And even in the winter Can you remove all my emotional splinters? It would be preferred I'd thank you endlessly From the bottom of my heart To the end of days You're radiating like the Sun Rays It's seventy degrees out here and i'm about to sweat like it's a hundred Rain won't come my way Because i won't allow it Too much to handle Causing the brakes to halt Melting steel in my mental vault All you need to do is consult Me and we'll be fine That's what i like most of the time Forget about the dollars and dimes I'm ready to take us to the next colony So you don't have to fend off the rest of the male species With that amazing presence of yours I can feel the pressure I like physical pressure too With you

Melting Vault

Your bust is going to make me combust Turning my pain into rust Your soul should be one of the few things i trust A pizza with a refined crust You're steaming when the summer kicks in And even in the winter Can you remove all my emotional splinters? It would be preferred I'd thank you endlessly From the bottom of my heart To the end of days You're radiating like the Sun Rays It's seventy degrees out here and i'm about to sweat like it's a hundred Rain won't come my way Because i won't allow it Too much to handle Causing the brakes to halt Melting steel in my mental vault All you need to do is consult Me and we'll be fine That's what i like most of the time Forget about the dollars and dimes I'm ready to take us to the next colony So you don't have to fend off the rest of the male species With that amazing presence of yours I can feel the pressure I like physical pressure too With you
