I hate Science I hate Technology Neither Am I Orthodox Nor I am Fool I am not a ***** But still I choose to hate Science and Technology Both gave us many things I remember, there was a time I worshipped both of them They produced machines for us They produced robots for us Machines started building Homes, Bridges and Flyovers Machines helped us in Food and Cloth Production Milk and Silk Production And Blah Blah Blah Blah They made our life easier They made our life safer They provided better security They provided better tools They made our life longer They made our life smarter They gave us rays of hope They promised much more They promised more Freedom They Promised Leisure Time They promised better Environment They promised clean Air, Water, Soil They Promised Harmony and Peace They Promised Equality for All Both Science and Technology Progressed exponentially day by day But something went wrong Someone captured them Hijacked them and misused By applying their ***** minds We still have Machines and Robots We still have Logic and Skills But where is Freedom and Peace? Where is the clean Environment? Where is clean Water, Air and Soil? Where is the promised Leisure Time? Now we also have Nuclear Bombs We have weapons of mass ****** We have smart tools for our Extinction We have weapons of mass Destructions Robots are being transformed From Robots to Human Beings Humans are being transformed From Human Beings to Machines Yes Slavery is back in the Game Machines have enslaved Humans Robots have been granted Citizenship and Civil Rights Machines have been made ready Ready to wage war against humans The question is who is the culprit? Is it Science and Technology? No. Not at all. I know this very well But I still hate Science and Technology The real culprits are the hungry Capitalists Who captured, hijacked and misused Science and the Technology for their greed Though they have all the things they need Science and the Technology easily surrendered and allowed themselves to be used for their greed This is why I Hate Science and Technology I also hate Capitalism and Capitalists too But I have a big question for Myself. I still doubt - "Can I really live without Science and Technology"

Craving your luscious lips right next to mine. Reminiscing the moment when we experienced Cloud Nine. It began with a French kiss, then biting your hard ******* That further progressed to smacking your buttocks, creating small ripples.    As our clothes depart, we escalated the ****** tension with every touch we had marked. Passion so intense, penetrating ever so deep; We grasped the feeling of ecstasy till that moment when we couldn’t breathe. Experiencing love and bliss that felt like an eternity…    How fortunate were we to experience the alignment of our souls unbound. Till the moment we parted ways, leaving memorable traces so profound.    By: Michael M. De La Fuente

Reminiscing Love
I was flabbergasted when given the chance To join the renowned Roscoe's Oddity Of Circus With no actual talent to speak of I was pretty much dead in the water worthless But Roscoe in all of his wisdom Put me in charge of the Bubble machine Low and behold people Turns out...Bubbles is "ME" I started out with simple patterns Blowing one treasure at a time As things progressed rather quickly I soon had Bubbles dancing in Mumba lines There wasn't a Bubble imagined In which I could not achieve But like I said at the very start Turns out...Bubbles is "ME" I even perfected what I like to call The "Fantabulious Bubbles De jour" In the Bubble circles in which I blow I've become quite the Bubble Lore My Bubble forte soon became Floating Bubbles of Super Stars *I'm not one to "POP" Bubble names* Suffice it to say you know who they are These days you don't have to go to the Circus If you'd like my talent to see I'm the one who does those Bubbles with the tiny words In the Sunday comics you read Why I've even been to the U.N. Where the "Big Cheese" was highly pleased The way I blew name tags and place mats For all the visiting Dignitaries But my favorite pastime after all these years Even with all the fortune and fame I've found Is relaxing with my Circus buddies And blowing Bubbles of "Bubbles the Clown" Just think when I joined the Circus I had no talent in which to show Who knew all it was that I needed Was one good bubble to blow

* Bubbles *
I asked again but my hope refused to extinguish, It smiled and told I had always been distinguished. So, I kept checking my mail box even if it seemed lame, I kept waiting and waiting but that Hogwarts letter never came. Eleven progressed to twelve, twelve to thirteen, Mistaken- I thought-they must have been, Meanwhile I did my own reading and learnt all the curses, And with the wand I never had I practiced all the verses. First of September arrived again, and again, and again. And with the years that passed, so increased the pain, “So the age limit isn’t actually eleven!” then I optimistically thought, “Oh! What a brutal test of patience they cleverly plot!” Pictures in newspaper don’t move, brooms yet don’t fly, And yes there are times that these thoughts make me cry, “Hogwarts doesn’t exist”- Oh! These oblivious muggles continue to tell, Deep down they are just jealous that they just can’t cast a spell, “Well, can you?” they ask laughing and teasing, Their voice brimming up with sarcastic appeasing… “Not yet” I silently speak, “Just wait for days some... My pretty little Hogwarts letter is just about to come.”

HOGWARTS LETTER.
The dunes are tall, but, we can still hear the crash. The smell of salt reminds us, of treasured frames. You asked if I remembered, “yes” I do remember that one. Flour like sand, it cradled our feet. Our palms smacked, the land. As we progressed, to our full stride. Loops of gold, surrounded us. Tickling the laughter out of us, it echoes beautifully. In slow romance, your gaze meets mine. That is when you turned, 'click' a pose framed, by my eye. The shutter captured, a moment of escape.

A photographic escape
(from a song) Perhaps I was born kneeling, born coughing on the long winter, born expecting the kiss of mercy, born with a passion for quickness and yet, as things progressed, I learned early about the stockade or taken out, the fume of the enema. By two or three I learned not to kneel, not to expect, to plant my fires underground where none but the dolls, perfect and awful, could be whispered to or laid down to die. Now that I have written many words, and let out so many loves, for so many, and been altogether what I always was? a woman of excess, of zeal and greed, I find the effort useless. Do I not look in the mirror, these days, and see a drunken rat avert her eyes? Do I not feel the hunger so acutely that I would rather die than look into its face? I kneel once more, in case mercy should come in the nick of time.

Don't forget to give thanks; not just today but each moment of your life. I can't say that I've remembered but I can say that I've learned; I can say that I've progressed I can say: "Thanks"

From day one he was trouble His parents knew on sight Their bundle of pure joy and bliss Was somehow, just not right It wasn't in his nature To be part of a gang He like to be off by himself He liked things that went bang He was troubled in his school years Never getting real good marks He didn't get along with other He was burning caps and making sparks But when this boy found fire Well, then....his world became real small Never mind the big explosions He would go and burn them all Small fires set in dumpsters Behind the shops, by where he ran He'd set fire to the garbages While he trapped a cat inside the can He progressed on up to buildings Made that jump, in one big way He torched a crack house, all abandoned Buy using gas and old, dry hay But, the thrill was not a keeper It wore off as fast as it arrived He had to extend the feeling That made his body feel alive He knew to see his fires He would have to volunteer First he would go set them Then, help put them out...I fear It was a stroke of pyro genius He'd set them and he'd put them out He'd learn what gave them trouble And he'd give them more without a doubt He never killed another Never burnt a persons home He always set his fires Where buildings always stood alone They caught him late September He'd burned a building late one night It was supposed to be abandoned But, was full of squatters, out of sight The picture, it was famous A hippie shaking someone's hand It was on the front page of the paper And it was shown through out the land A fingerprint was lifted A switch, that burned, not like it should And from there, it was no problem To lock this boy away for good He was sent away to prison He was gonna die there, bet on that And on his first day in that prison He saw an old man, who just sat Sitting in the corner by himself, no one around Sat a man, all old and wrinkled Lips were moving, but no sound Came forth from this man's mouth, his lips all cracked and dry, You could stand right there and listen And hear nothing if you tried...

my obsessive compulsive heart
11:20pm You kidnapped me and we flew back to your home planet. I was left speechless as this heavenly body took over my soul. He tied a martian string around my heart and promised me to stay. 11:30pm You took me on an adventure across the galaxy that distorted my mind. I let him guide my body into a meadow of star dust, without any fear of hesitation. He tightened the martian string around my heart and promised that I will be his forever. 11:40pm You gently caressed my untamed spirit and helped this earthling experience a new look on life. I only craved for my eccentric martian, so I feared the day I would have to go back to that dreary planet. He glared down into my dark brown eyes and promised that I'll be his officially, to have and to hold. 11:50pm You slowly began to distant yourself from yourself my soul as the days progressed on this martian planet. I noticed that the string we held tightly around our hearts began to steadily loosen as the nights grew colder. He turned his back on the earthling he once loved and promised to let me go so he can travel the stars alone. 12:00am You promise that we would explore the extrasolar worlds together as we floated through the dark abyss. I believed in his promises, hoping the martian string that bounded our hearts together would remain intact. He delivered me back to my humdrum planet while untying the same string that we once held so dear.

Countdown.
We the citizens, who live as refugees, We keep earning & see if our life is turning, To the price rise, we lose savings, Still we remain rock-bottom in standard of living. We belong to the middle class, Whose life always a breakable thin glass. Our life remains completely unsettle, Every second, life tests our mettle. Life chases us with pressure, failure and useless lecture, We are nurtured with a fear of future, Happiness remains just a leisure, Live with the unsecure & unsure present for a secure future. We keep us busy and function, We fear, when there arrives a function, Towards happiness, we run as a pilgrim, For the corporates, we become a mere victim. We run like an athlete for salary, food and target, For this globalized world, we are just a market, Like hungry dogs, we wait for increments, We keep running with bitter disappointments. We live in own house, only in our dreams, Our hearts cry with hopeless screams, Failures remain our tutors, Inability has turned us the irrecoverable debtors. Our appearance has a rich look, We have untold hidden burdens, That keep us shook, Keeps us forbidden and fear-ridden. Low class think us rich, High class always want us to be their ***** Politically neglected by the rulers, Economically exploited by the rich powers. We exhaust ourself for subsistence, We remain victorious and satisfied only in our existence, We lose our life to sustain in competence, We run our life with a mere persistence. More than the high class and low class, we suffer, Our lives never progressed as governments differ, All see low class with empathy and sympathy, To our difficulties, we are looked with apathy. On rich, we are not jealous, Towards our aim, we are zealous. Never think we are nothing, We truly have nothing to lose. We take risks to make history, Our path is nothing less than a mystery, You never allow us to come up, But we are not going to give up. Hello High class, Never pretend to live like us, to exploit us, Gone are the days, we remained fools, You will stand a day as the super intelligent fools. Before, we are hungry for food, Now, we are hungry to rule, Before, we feared to live, Now, we are ready to win the world. We are nothing! We are nothing We have nothing to lose! We won’t stop until having nothing could do nothing to us.

God forbid We ever get ahead And realise just how much we've progressed And all that we've transgressed And marvel at the sight of all our human might And ask ourselves when our heads got filled With the notion that we were individuals who had to fight To overcome that which teamwork won That we ever realise that dreams can materialize And that, God, if ever present, long ago left on ahead Because we were busy fighting about who should make our bread And who will raise our dead But no-one ever asked Where will this road end At least not loud enough for it to clear our heads God forbid we realise just Who we all are And who our brothers and our sisters are For we might accept them with open arms Silly notion Let us fix it all again This time, this time Our God will be dead.

Look closely, do you see it? Down below, where man has not been A deity with roots, deeply burrowed in the earth There lies a mighty tree Taking warmth from the core and in return, provides life on the surface Thousands of birds live within his branches Songs sung of unexplainable beauty His base, hollowed out for furry creatures in the colder months Oh, how he loves the tiny animals They make him laugh, dropping the sweetest of fruit Perfection it would seem, he grew curious What goes on beyond his personal Eden? Several branches wrap around each other Winding and unwinding, to reveal an old man Terra-god, in flesh and blood Ripping out a strong root to help hold himself up, The long journey begins Three days he walked through the forest But what is three days to a man who has lived hundred of thousands of years. Entire civilizations rise and fall, lifetimes must feel like matters of seconds He continues to wander along. Suddenly he sees something not seen before, No cover from his branches, an open night sky He had never felt such wonder How many stars were as old as he? Taking it all in, he continued to walk. Morning came as did another discovery. A jungle, grey, concrete, filled with soulless monsters Black thick air, foulest of all Stacks of stolen, re-engineered earth rising higher then any tree. There is no life here, only man's false heaven. Disgusted and furious at what he saw, he cursed this domain of blastphemy, and turned homeward Upon walking back as time progressed he felt weaker He began to feel time, slower, and slower Something felt wrong, something, felt wrong He noticed the animals wandering about, picked one up “Find shelter little one” in a worried tone, “It will be cold soon” As he looked up, he trembled His home Eden, ***** and torn by man The sweetest of fruit, The furry animals, All destroyed, leaving but a trunk He fell to the ground weeping, Withering to nothing The age of nature has ended

I grew up in a religious home, they implemented this dream that one day ill be come a priest And it was the only way to make them happy. I lived this silly dream up until the end of 5th grade when i realized, There is no god. Fore how can a man of such holy stature commit all these heinous crimes against his own "children". I was 10 years old when i realized i had enough, that my voice needed to be heard. They dont talk about little boys getting molested, almost intentionally looking away as if it never happens. Us boys are taught a long list of rules from a young age to never cry, never show fear, never back down, just a whole lot of nevers. But I was never taught to deal with a grown man inside me. Believe me it hurt, it hurt more than any pain i have felt to this day. What made it worse was the one inside me, my father. At first it started off innocent enough, he was drunk and didnt know what he was doing. But it soon progressed into a side business he ran under the table "20 dollars, 20 mins" At 8 years old, brandy became my best friend. She was the only thing that numbed my pain, although forced down my throat so I wont fight back, I learned to enjoy the burn. A year later i went to my first party. Months of getting beat down and broke all was ment for this day. 23 guys; one boy.

I loved you.
You people never took me seriously For you, I was just a problem child Who needed to be molded According to your whims and fancies You never saw me as an individual Who has his own thoughts, feelings and emotions My opinions never mattered to you You wanted me to improve my verbal communication As well as my body language But you never even tried to understand me properly It never occurred to you That there is a reason why I am different Or even if it did, you never truly cared What bothered me the most, though Was the fact That you believed you were acting in my best interests Of course, it was my mistake Not to leave this accursed country While I had the chance And seek my fortunes elsewhere A mistake I may probably regret For the rest of my life Anyway, as Arabella Figg once said "There's no good crying over spilt potion" I was a fool to listen to you But I have progressed in life Far more than you would've expected me And not because of you But in spite of you Well, I would love to meet you one of these days And prove to you That verbal communication is overrated Just like you yourselves are We autistic people can do equally well, if not better As compared to you neurotypicals Who are obsessed with correcting others Well, please look into the mirror And just leave us alone Worse than an enemy, is an NT with a saviour complex Well, we can see right through you You may think you are being kind and empathetic However, in reality, you are just a bunch of condescending wankers Who believe they are always right Well, there is nothing wrong in having your own views Just try not to force them down our throats I will end on this note Autistic people are human beings too It is time you learned to appreciate that

Everybody knows today's figures. Lincoln Park. Kanye West. Beyonce. Musicians. Artists. They are all praised in today’s society. But nobody knows the names of people who actually matter. Willis Carrier. Invented the air conditioner. Nobody knows his name. Robert E. Kahn. Made the internet. Nobody knows his name. The problem with today’s society Is that the minds of young people are being poisoned. By the schools who leave things out of textbooks. By the people on the street, screaming their views. The riots, the protests, the hell of today. Poisoning the minds of young people. Reed Hastings. Marc Randolph. Nobody knows them Yet millions of people use Netflix. SalvinoD'Armate. Nobody knows his name. Yet over 4 BILLION people wear eyeglasses. Young people today hate history. They think, “Why do we need to learn about dead people?” George Santayana once said: “Those who cannot remember the past, are condemned to repeat it.” We learn these things, not to be bored in history class. Not to just **** time in the day. But to inspire. To help young people to become creative, more innovative. Imagine a world, where Alexander Bell never made the telephone. Imagine a world, where the internet, just wasn’t a thing. Imagine a world, where nobody invented new things. William Higginbotham. I Guarantee that nobody in this room knows his name. He created the very first video game, Tennis for Two, in 1958. Without him, we would not have the games we have today. Assassin’s Creed. Grand Theft Auto. Call of Duty. People play these games, and use the other things I’ve listed every single day, And they use them without any thought, or appreciation for where they came from. Or how far we have progressed as humans. So I ask you this. Who invented the desk you are sitting on? Who invented the jacket you’re wearing? Who invented that pen in your pocket? You don’t know, do you?

I saw you in a dream unexpected but nonchalant as you always are, your skin touched mine and sunlight covered us both. It felt like summer, like time had stopped and never progressed to the moment you let go of whatever was left of love and affection and reverence. I awake to chilly night air, no sun nor arms to warm me I check my phone, it's two a.m. It's cold.

Dear life, Let these closings of long battles And roads of new exploration be my new path for a new serene normalcy. May these paths lead to answers, Answers of who I am. It's been so long since I've been the real me it hurts to a pain staking degree. Trying to remember what once was me. Nothings normal, all I once knew is now forgotten and gone. You cannot expect to accomplish a new road in life, without having the knowledge of how to overcome its new and demanding challenges. Simply its obstacles are to great to exceed without knowledge. And even scarier to face. Not knowing the unknowing being thrown to survive in the Lions den. As a writer I write, my thoughts, feelings and dreams. I feel like a caged animal At a zoo, behind glass Looking at my once life Now held captive From this disease. I miss my old life, I progressed so far. Able to challenge my strength of mind,body and soul Each and every day. Now that is gone. Grateful yes I am Sad and ****** off? You better bet. Although grateful, I am not in good standing with the life I lead now. I never asked for this change, I loved my then life and only pleaded for the healthiest body. So I may be the best I could be in all strengths from muscular to mental. I would love to see the old me and old life I once had. I would apologize with all my might for whatever I did for it to stop accepting me. Then maybe I would learn how to live this new resistant relationship I am in. It's hard to accept that your own body is fighting its every move and with its every move it is literally chipping a little by little of your life and freedom away. All you can do is wonder why and watch it pay severe tolls each day. If I cannot return to the past then please may my future be at a level of any normalcy that my present future lacks. For the sake of my mind and all who are a very important part of it.

Ohana
I watch the rise and fall of your chest And in this moment time has no meaning; In this moment time has not progressed. Our past, The horrible wounds inflicted on our souls In the ****** war we waged Never transpired your eyes gaze lovingly into mine, and I am lost. Everything melts away - All that is left is us. We are naked, pure, And I am left breathless, and dazzled by The presence of your soul As always my love We are one... We are infinite.

Infinite
You were the first boy I called mine; with your school smarts and **** physique. Our first date I felt so grown up- as night came and my curfew peaked. At school with your arm around my neck- I couldn’t stop smiling from ear to ear. The kiss we shared told my heart that it was OK not to fear. You set up a private house date; while your parents were out of town. I was nervous and scared at first, but then I slowly came around. The secret night progressed quickly- no time to fully weigh my thoughts. Before I knew it, it was done and my virginity was naught. It wasn’t as I expected; only a little pain then over. I shyly whispered I love you, but your mind left like a rover. The next school day I saw you, but you acted like I was no one. I stood with a grin of a fool- I saw I was only for your fun. I shared a unique part of me- I felt I did everything right. But now I know I was too young to lose my virginity’s light.

Virginity Light
*Can you not feel it? The warm sun filled glow shining between us. You say to me You are my best friend Even after we have made tove. Can you not see it? The thick fog between us has  lifted to  only a light  mist.. I need you to stop saying We are just friends. you know how many times we have crossed that line. Can you not understand that I ache to hold you close each time we meet.. That the colors are all brighter. The air is softer. And the angel I keep hidden Inside my heart comes out and folds her wings about us. Can you not believe? We are best friends Just like you say we are. Best friends. Who have  now progressed Into lifelong lovers.*

When Friendship turns to Love
Someone watched from below at a crooked angle, As I carried a metal baseball bat through the parking lot. In tattered, blood stained clothes, ripped jeans and a white t-shirt, I continued forward, ready to do what I intended. Through the door and up a dark, black stairwell I strode… In a midnight rage, I shattered glass, busted walls and tables, And growled as I felt my weapon vibrate against wood and plaster. I demolished computers, tipped over desks And knocked out windows, spewing glass down below. I smiled a gritty smirk as I progressed through my night of destruction… I poured gasoline and lit a match, As I walked back out into that heavy night. With a steady stride, I left with my bat, And from behind, felt a soothing, comforting warmth.
