we are the created

the creators
created in the image of our mothers and fathers
creating beings in the image of our sons and
daughters
artificial anticipation
on the precipice of intelligence
reality hits,
all intelligence is artificial
it always has been
in the sense that intelligence is merely a concept
in the sense that a creator bestowed it upon us

Allied With Tyrants!
In light of current events
In today's Oval Office scandal, President Trump, alongside Vice President JD Vance, engaged in a heated exchange with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy. Trump accused Zelenskyy of risking "World War Three" and suggested that Ukraine had "no good cards" in negotiations. This confrontation led to the abrupt cancellation of a significant minerals deal between the U...

United or Doomed!
This poem reflects the urgent and growing tensions Europe faces—internally divided and externally threatened. With rising dangers from Russia, China, and a shifting American stance, it paints a vivid picture of the consequences of inaction.
Europe, listen—time runs thin, The storm is howling, wars begin. Trump builds walls, his hunger grows, Grabs at lands where cold wind blows. Not jus...Sunday 23rd February 2025 4:39 pm
The Trump Express: Engine of Havoc!
This sonnet wants to capture the chaotic and relentless force of Trump’s ambitions—an unstoppable train of greed, power, and imperialism, barreling through the world, leaving disruption and destruction in its wake.
The world is battered, torn beneath his wheels,
A runaway of greed and steel and spite.
A thousand schemes, each twisting as it steals,
Devour the day and drown the dead of nig...

do not be disheartened.
do not be disheartened
from the powers that be
they shape our media,
close our borders,
delegitimise our freedom,
emasculate our men,
oppress our women,
suppress queer identity,
profile non-white skin.
they take our taxes,
pay their bankers bonuses,
privatise and pollute our water,
shape our education,
control our minds,
continue colonial wars.
they steal oil and gas from the ...

The Billionaire's Salute
The limerick recounts Elon Musk’s modified Nazi salute during Donald Trump’s inauguration celebration at the Capital One Arena, drawing attention to the unsettling revival of fascist gestures in a modern political context.
There once was a mogul named Musk, Whose fame turned increasingly brusque. At an oath-taking spree, He gestured with glee, A shadow from history’s dusk.Thursday 23rd January 2025 5:54 pm

The GOP's Spiral: From Grace to Grime
This poem wants to explore the transformation of the Republican Party (GOP) from its days of moral and political leadership—abolishing slavery, defending civil rights, and promoting national unity—to its modern iteration, marred by populism, greed, and divisive rhetoric. Through examples like Lincoln, Eisenhower, and Reagan, it contrasts past accomplishments with today’s corrosive trends, embodied...

Puppets of Greed
This poem critiques a presidency shaped by selfishness, revenge, and the influence of tech billionaires like Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, Jeff Bezos et al. Rather than adhering to constitutional values, Trump’s cabinet is filled not only with power-hungry opportunists and morons seeking their own gain, but also with those who are completely devoted to him—almost god-like in their loyalty. These ind...

Men and Boys
The kiddie-giggling boy-men types,
Who shape our tastes and fuel our gripes,
Are like a zebra with no stripes.
Their views today are painted on;
Those of the past are long, long gone.
They rule the culture like machines,
And serve up, bite-sized, on our screens,
An option menu for our dreams.
The bad ones will be swept away;
Nice shall prevail day after day.
