“Being a farmer is like being a priest; you take a vow of poverty and make a pact with the Lord that no typhoon will come and destroy your crops.” In the rise of sedentary human civilization, The nation’s agriculture Became the key expansion. Its history dates back thousands of years, With its development, Has been driven and defined – By different climates, cultures, and technologies. The Filipino farmers: Are they now a dying breed? Numbers of small farms has dwindled, With workers opting for city life. But this trend could exacerbate food insecurity! Yes, in an import-dependent country – Already struggling to meet current food demand. In the face of growing losses, And from volatile weather, To new-fangled farming tech, Limited education makes them less receptive. What took such toll on the agricultural sector? Maybe the farmer themselves, The investors, the buyers – maybe. Now, it’s due to the government policies, Our programs are good, yet so weak. There’s excessive reliance on agricultural imports, And corruption on the upper level. Compounding the problem Is a younger generation – Largely, leaving rural areas nationwide, And depleting the pool of potential agricultural workers. They say it’s too late to do something; But the mind-set of the younger generation Still we can change And make farming appealing once again. (9/8/13 @xirlleelang)

A Dying Filipino Breed
Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Tumblr We use these technologies to pass the time But the time we spend scrolling our fingers down an iPhone is never fun or productive and memories are never made But whenever I have a spare moment in the day I’m probably scrolling through some timeline, looking at some random persons page, and wasting the short and precious existence that we are given on this earth

Technology
The wind howls outside my bedroom window shaking me my heart; my soul it screams *while you sit there drinking sweet-smelling coffee a baby boy in Africa cries of hunger and aching ribs. while you are curled up under warm and soft blankets an old and lonely man wanders the darkest streets looking for warmth; a home while you hide there surrounded by light and family with an aura of ungratefulness you are lost in the rays of your technologies with a frown on your angelic face when a weeping woman shakes and prays for her gone children to reach Heaven happily but you dare forget God to a screen?* my house shakes from Wind's agonizing words and a streak of cold trickles into my haven along with the words "what am I doing?" somehow my stiff legs reach a window and the arms in front of me pull it open to reveal no sound at all where is the wind? did he leave just as he touched my heart; my soul making me waver? or does a gust not howl , speak, and isn't heard? no the wind was here for how else did the once-twinkling snowflakes suddenly freeze and lose all of their beauty? no one but Wind would take the innocence of such young and beautiful white specks just as they landed in this cold, dark world no one but Wind would flare you with reality enough to make you cry with obliviousness for this wind; my Wind he is the voice off all those who have faced life's stinging brutality; him instead of hiding under covers and whispering morbid lies that everything is okay

No One But Wind
Did any flower bloom, in your garden today, check out now Love alone is the flower with fragrance, don't water the rest. An year reigned is dead, the overcast sky clearly proclaims A dark shroud covers the sky, hiding the good cheer we need. Alone, I climb up the winding road to the hilltop, to view The sunset, it reminds the past year of painful events The skyline looks blood smeared, from a corner fire erupts Making hate the recurring motif, what's happening to the world? Technologies to share information is no good, if we aren't sane. If we use that to sow evil seeds of hatred, poison spreads. Life turns a mess, all the wealth has no meaning without peace. Are we not ashamed to be vengeful like barbarians, **** each other? Didn't Gandhi prove, nonviolence is the weapon against brute force?

Google is the gift for An inquisitive student, Who is in search to be knowledgeably potent. Although it makes One so dependent, It bestows erudition That is too consistent. Google serves us with mail, That saves our time to sail. It’s services like the maps Leaves a stranded person to bridge the gaps. Gaps? Yes, it bridges the gaps With all its possible apps, The interests of the public And concepts of the prolific. When Google well handed Our queries have added, Whose possible solutions have multiplied, For which the efforts been phenomenally divided. With the transforming technologies In this world of transience Google has procured Its own state of omnipresence. Thus, Google has become the tool With which the user can rule. It endows as a surfing equipment Hence, Google is the gift for a Student.

Instead of foraging around making connections with cables and wireless systems that bluetooth and sync their way into our pocket technologies and portable screens (tablets of which we self-prescribe and regulate through overdose and comatose keenings of stillness and waking dreams) why, instead don’t we fool around making connections with others of like mind and brainwaves instead of radiowaves and the mastered minds of computer waves and lift an arm and really wave beyond our windows to real people in real time rather than peeping like a holographic Tom through tabs and browsing windows, multi-tasking time in a state of mime like it’s about to expire (like the wireless wires will break) and all that we’ll have is all we can physically take from this moment awake we call ‘life’ – a mistake. What else is left now in this vegetative one man one woman state where we live to close our eyes and shut our minds and wait for the modem-router to re-dial and get our avatar back online and our friends back into our multi-dimensional realer-than-time time? Pseudonyms solving identity changes emerge without birth with designer non-faces, as now that we no longer need imperfection or meaning or privacy or even perception we alter ourselves to impress our connections with whom we connect without really connecting by hiding as one almost nearing detection and tip-toeing straight past concern or reflection (invisible firewalls at our protection) our own walls around us with keys we can capslock, screening ourselves from unfriended friends, and playfully sated by charm and ‘pretends’ that will mean next to nothing when fantasy ends. Where ARE the connections we make in this digital age that we rarely turn off since the internet craze has become a new God that we dial to be saved as we sacrifice friends we once made face to face with those we are longing to meet as we race across networks with hunger and haste and with spambots and data and viruses made to detect and infect and reject, just for starters, and that’s not to mention the ads and the logins and passwords that lock us from somewhere far yonder that doesn’t exist as we grow ever fonder of pics and of pixels and texts of expression – the reality of which we could lose in a second.

Here I can't explain you the date, May be it's humanities fate. We have reached a way higher, In science and technologies tier. The age is of time, Where you can sublime. Into the verses of technology, Into the time and space's analogy. This is the era of warm-holes, And the era of time travel, In which you can travel whole, Into the any world's navel. Set up to stop the light and time, And get into between of it, To hear the travelling chime, From that dark narrow slit. Getting into the dark tunnel, Moving, getting deep inside, Rather shaped like a funnel, You get into the time's ride.

Time travel
The presence of our contemporary age Alters artistic vision down a spiral of emptiness. Artist no longer create the visual page, Their spellbound by ambitions of digital laziness. Visions lost to the age of simplicity, Erased to machines’ evil desires, Deluded by storms of deception, Creativity ceased as hell endures its fires. Instant gratification — the new reality — The yearning for excellence, no endurability. Modern day artistic creativity, Coerced by digital debility. Tradition bankrupt by false realities, Lost to a pallet of ones and zeros; Artwork with no archival ability, The future lost to modern day technologies.

Art Has Died. All that's left, a future of erased memories with 1's & 0's.
A face as white as snow with cheeks blushing Lips painted in red pouting Hair so soft and silky Arranged so neatly Hanging around the neck is a diamond necklace Wearing a glamorous gown accented with a ****** red lace Illuminating the skin Making it look whiter and thin Walking graciously With a pair of Cinderella shoes so pretty. This is what most girls would want to look like - A princess; Obsessed of the physical beauty. Physically, one can easily possess beauty With the help of modern technology; Lips can be as red as an apple, Face can be as perfect as it can be; But a heart as pure as an innocent child's And as good as an angel's Cannot be made by the use of those cosmetics Nor be fixed by any advanced technologies; Inside appearance Cannot be made beauteous Even by any expensive make up. If you really dreamed to be a princess, Be one who possesses the real beauty - The one that never fades - Not the one seen just from the outside; It is through the goodness of your heart that you'll see You claim the genuine beauty.

It seems to have spontaneously combusted, but it didn’t. The disease struck long ago, brewed in the petri dish of Depression, WWII, and convergent technologies. Well before that, really, but that was the point of critical mass. By the 1950's, it was an epidemic. The independent Republic of individuals, small towns, coherent communities, distinct cities, local diners, shops and stores tied together with two lane blacktop was crumbling. Things only got worse faster. It was a disease of toxic, lulling dreams. American Dreams. And standardization was its crushing foot that flattened everything and left a homogenized wasteland in its trail. The old gods vanished and the new became despots. Go anywhere in America, Boston or Biloxi. You can’t tell where you are. Most shop at the same stores (real or virtual), eat at the same chain restaurants, wear the same clothes, gulp from the same Internet, swallow similar information, and think (within acceptable variations) the same thoughts. Even sin has become tediously consubstantial. Knowledge has been supplanted by content. Words are squeezed of meaning. Everyone is an expert and no one knows anything. Except Siri and Alexa. The Dreamtime of consumerism, consumption and conformity dominates. All that remains to come is the dominion of AI. Then we will all be watched over by machines of loving grace, free to graze in bovine bliss in the cybernetic meadows of bland utopia.

American Dreamtime: A Scrambled Memoir Of Poetic Future History
I'm not afraid to say that I am not afraid, but I think we're lost and it's unsettling. And I'm not afraid to say I love you to my friends, and that we like drugs. If I don't find a perfect job and buy a perfect house will I meet the standards? We'll  I'm not afraid of being poor and hungry. I'm afraid of being Fake, and filled with Hate. And I'm not afraid to say I'm sick of *** and the way it makes me think. Because the worst war is in my head And the first step would be keeping to myself But the worst part is in my bed. when I get anxious I can't sleep.. So can we go and waste some time I'm not afraid of being put down I like the way I live and the way I dress. And I'm not ashamed I spent those checks on gas and whiskey and cigarettes. If don't purchase trendy clothes and I don't bother lifting Am I still a man? Well, I'm not afraid to say that superficial people make me sick. I want no part of it. And I'm not apposed to hearing things you have to say but I get mad. Because the worst war is in my head I'm not afraid to say that I am not afraid but I'm ******* Scared. Because all our time is spent with technologies instead of Love, and Loving life. I'm not afraid to help you see, but I wouldn't Know. Because if I say we're slaves to phones and Facebook, I know that you'll go home, and you'll waste your time on it.

the worst war is in my head
Musk. Wind whispers mysteries in the form of it; it thickens thin air until it turns black, black enough to hush. Wind, being black, absorbs your thoughts, makes violent curls of them; thickens, thickens thin air until it transmogrifies into pages and pages stained black with disaster- as if a hurricane crumpled those could-have been white aeroplanes, potential papered to fly, and flung them into the pit of your mind to sink              deeper and                             deeper and                                           deeper until your poems were written and the casualties numbered: each line a suicide of a thought that could have been, each syllable ink-stained and bloodied black by artistic integrity, or madness: the same. This wind is your hair. This wind is your territory. Not mine. Never could I have met you here, in this place of your solitary being: where real poets exist. I am not a hurricane: and I am not your disaster. I have learnt and re-learnt how useless it is to define you in terms of myself; how useless it is to define you at all. A rationalist like me can never truly understand what it is to be part of your endlessness, the sheer mountainous immensity that constitutes your thrill. Yes, your hair fascinates me as much as any ancient, spiralling, far-away Andromeda- but the fact that even now,  I've already tried to limit you with words shows the absoluteness, the solidity, the density of my misunderstanding of your... your... And real poets know that rationalists are fools. You know I am a fool. I write these meagre verses with unreachably cold computer technologies thinking that these words could somehow save us. Yet, simultaneously, I am some drunken nuisance knocking vehemently at your door, who turns and strolls away right before you finally answer. I am a fool going home and seeing clouds in the darkness. It is my first time seeing them in the sky. First time in nearly a month. The moon illuminates the clouds, and so do the towers of highway lights in the middle of two roads. One road leads forward, the other backwards. As the car passes the towers, the two lamps attached to each of their heads glow. They streak on as the car speeds on homewards. They leave fading tails like shooting stars, except they do not travel. They are stagnant mind lights, peripheral memories; unmythical, artificial. They are not like you. When I pass you, You.... You... You. Please, never believe- for even a whisper of musk to yourself; for even a black hush, to yourself; for even one sliver, one strand of Andromeda hair, falling towards yourself- that Grahamstown didn't mean anything less than Eternity to me. It does. I am not a hurricane. I am not your disaster. You are far too much of yourself for me to be even a zephyr to you.

The governments of the world have united, acting upfront but they’ve really gone underground, implementing a behind-the-scenes scheme to defraud the global-people of their money & sovereignty. While we battle semantics, terrorist & drugs, it’s business as usual for the real thugs, who keep filling our pockets with gizmos like I-Pods & I-Pads & tablets, modern technologies making our life’s simpler, draining us of our hearts & souls, forcing us to write about what’s missing in this universe of abundance, stolen by the greed-mongers. I love you kindred spirits, because you understand these reasons for such emptiness, this destruction of sacred spirit. While others talk about it & do nothing, you bleed your hearts & write about it, trying to save a smidgeon of humanity gone sterile. You are more true than any government on Earth, you are a secret society of scribblers, telling the truth.

Qualified Abstinence I’ve decided - though not wholly - As of morning’s bath - to put on hold The daily custom, habit’s viewing - NCIS, Dr Phil - suspecting as I do That they are doing me some harm Engaging, charming as they are. Mind as thought and mind as stomach, Turn to worry, churn with fear As states of things in world and home, Play out the clearer, Signs maturing in their chaos, Ever growing, ever baiting; Making brilliant, analytical dear Phil Ever more mouth-watering. Well-loved NCIS plays its part, Portraying nations torn apart With ever cleverer technologies And cleverer–type baddies Getting ‘theirs’ from even smarter good guys. If then, strong enough to not back off, The morning TV staying off, Then maybe, only maybe This old belly Can restore its tranquil peristalsis, Family squabbles turning babble to a kiss. Phil, dear Phil, continue to be wise and kind! NCIS’ cast: brave, cuddly and seasoned - Flag unfurled, continue to engage yourselves In world salvation! Stationing my thoughts in action, I must leave you both To carry myself into truth As cellular Arlene conceives, perceives, Inherently achieves it.

My mind races endlessly, especially in the wee hours of the morn, when all is quiet, when I lie alone in my bedroom, contemplating. Like clockwork, my eyes pop wide open & I visualize sacred sensual pleasures of her lying in sweet repose, & me a mouthful of her pretty flower curling her toes, bathed in a flood of her raw-emotion. Lord knows, I'm in love with modern technologies & make no apologies for the penning of such passions between her and I.

The Penning of Such Passions (I'm in Love With Modern Technologies)
Nothing. I am in a cold, desolate life of night. A lonely wind blows, battering the futile torch that lights my sight into the unknown. I am choked by fear of the gloom that blocks my way, the blackness that stalks my steps. I stumble about in this deathly, forbidding forest of regret, this myriad maze of my wandering. I am so far from home… how long can I go on deprived of a way to the other side? No gathering years of learning, no illuminated books of wisdom, nor the knowledge that drives the advancements of our time could ever prepare me for this journey. Gold has no purchase here – you cannot barter for the substance absent in this place of isolation. The hunger that gnaws inside goes on and will not cease. Human touch, kindness, community and friendship flees from my presence. Time haunts my heart. Nothing matters. All our plans, all of our achievements accumulate on the shelf, like trophies wasting space. Many spend life chasing wealth and seeking power, so concerned with status and their own tastes. Pleasure flows freely for the physically flawless while praise rings riot from a ravaged, ruined race. The greatness of our cities and our technologies, the skill of our artists, the discoveries of science, the shock and awe of empire, and the vain belief in human perfection or of a superior God or Church to crush all others… all our striving for earthly gain is meaningless. That path is less than nothing. All this pales in comparison to the power of that One Word. That one word, transfigured within that triune expression that connects us at the heart of it all: “I LOVE YOU” In a world that is splitting apart at the seams, our lives unhinged with war-bred turbulence of struggle and destruction; all around us… all our lives – the point of all that is – boils down to that one word. And I just want to say, I love you. I love you so much! I hope I am not too late. Nothing else matters. Nothing else. Nothing.

Caught inbetween.. fires rage, waiting for lightening, hoping for rain.. We dance up a storm. Little feet, medium feet, 2 feet 4 feet, one big foot! We howl with the wolves.. helicopters fly overhead, primordial forces, sophistcated technologies - centered by water. Mother nature commands the earth and sky.. We are ants in the aftermath

Scattered things like lost souls Scream their futility. Trinkets and trash charged with endless possibilities. Illusions of how life could be better so, I collect scraps of waste masked as human invention New technologies, toys, and other luxuries Drive that dark spear of desire deeper into my being. Want is a sickness, a fever that cycles on and off. I have I want, I want I need, I need I get. I get I have, I have I want, I want I need A scary situation and in its pursuit I place myself in painful positions Paying with large chunks of my life. I get more and as it become easier. My urges get stronger and stranger, Joy becomes that much harder to find. Get it get it get it get it get it Buy buy buy buy buy buy Till the pile stacks up so high That I live and die inside The world of crap I bought. Once I start it is hard to stop And I become the sole possessor Of this sick collectors disposition.
