in the garden of life
the weeds have taken over
j a connor May 27
Do not identify as slaves
But know as those
Who took their place
j a connor Mar 18
The complexity of humanity can be found in the convenience store

The regulars, not looking to change the daily habits

The passing trade, hoping for a one stop

The lonely, finding a point of contact that may be the only one
                    not buying anything in particular but happy to advise
And

The cashier
                    overseeing all with power
                    never participating wholly in the dramas that unfold

But looking forward to the end of the day when the door closes
j a connor Mar 2021
The dawn rolls out a new day
No past grudge
Embrace joy

life is for everyone
let's not interfere because it makes us feel right
why waste energy trying to change and rearrange complexities
that we will probably never fully understand

Photovoltaic in the rain
Drunk from the midday sun
Now barely able to light a candle
Let alone save the world

Explain colours to the blind
Define sound to the deaf

Confusion
Withheld
Deeply
Disturbing
j a connor May 2023
Tossed into another dimension
Via dreams I dare not mention
Unsure of life in this realm
Frightened by thoughts that overwhelm
Escape seems irrelevant and unclear
Where I am is where I belong
I fear
j a connor Mar 19
I live for the night
It never fails to excite
The darkness prevails
Those unearthly tales
My future is clear
My destiny is here
Age
j a connor Oct 2020
Age
Reality is fuelled by perception of view
The same scene can change as life grows you
j a connor Nov 2020
Who we are is all in the mind
Purpose projected by ego
A false importance of identity
Lose yourself
Accept the universe
Imperfection is perfect
We exist
Embrace the truth of our simplistic passage
We are not in control
Relax
Enjoy
Live

Does the thought of the action worry you more

Will you be comfortable knowing what is behind the door

the decisions you choose
maybe win maybe lose

But to do or to don't
That's free to explore

Lost in a vision of eternal greed                                                                                  
Exploitation of the masses to further their need
Living for a drug that makes blood rust
Creatures that sadly are no more than dust
More More More they cry
Me Me Me they cry
When
It can no longer satisfy
Then
Within
They die

Before dawn
The whispers in the twilight
Empower my peace

I'm moving out you're moving in

Infatuation plays with the mind
I hope the real is what you find

Our world is in crisis.

I represent Kalashnikov.
Although we are currently doing very well in the world, we need your help.

Global conditions continue to be challenging but not enough innocent people are dying.
This causes all sort of problems, overpopulation and environmental impact being just two of the issues now facing our planet.

Please donate as much as you can afford to :

Help us to restructure the world into a far more dangerous place.

Thank you.

Memories
Do they belong to us
Or the collective of spirits
Past, present, future?
Is this the reality we perceive to be our own
Or are we on an endless loop
The groundhog day of eternity
j a connor Jun 2023
The path ends, the forest begins
Darker as deeper, sense of the wild
To hesitate, to enter
Adjust to changes
A move from the safe and familiar
A move to the hidden realms
Reaching to the unknown
I proceed

In search of vanity in the 22nd century
The automatons looked back

In the near past the creatures now kept as pets displayed all the traits required
"I want and will have" seemed a popular misconception until the changes happened

Now for pure entertainment
Styled and paraded

They will be a useful distraction in the bleakness of this barren world and a reminder that all intelligence must evolve to survive

Lost to the eternal nothing
Waiting in hope of something
Living for none but....
j a connor Nov 28
late evening
the sky reflects my feeling of relaxation
but
tiredness is a reality
sleep is near
tomorrow
I'll welcome the sun
meanwhile
peace is a destiny
unfulfilled

With the empty mind
Start the day
No plans
Behold
j a connor Oct 2020
Monochromatic scenes in this city of has beens
Hearts no longer pure from too long in the sewer
Youth no longer able from too long in the cradle
Destiny cut lean from living in a dream

Technicolor skies in this land where hope lies
Souls once unsure bring light to who endure
Age once a bane brings hope to who remain
Skills seldom seen bring reality to the dream
j a connor Dec 2022
behold the departure of summer
plays into autumns hands
the green is turning
winter leaves me cold

watching the watchers
reverse psychopathy
nothing seen 
sense of duty ?

when the darkness appears
do not miss the light
when the darkness appears
worries will go
when the darkness appears
peace will be free

Beneath the colours of the butterfly wing
A brighter world awaits the coming of the king
Wish it all past
Make light clean shade
This realm is alive
A stranger hidden glade
For this world exists but not as it seems
To reach it alone rely on your dreams
The others who are there will follow you true
As sleep passes by and life is anew
