Life is a force that is mightier than any individual, any group, any country, any century, any millennium. The momentum of progress is unstoppable.
The clock can never be turned back and the advancement of nature and humanity can barely be slowed, even by those who cling most firmly to the way things are or the way they used to be.
Our children's children will know wonders of which we cannot even imagine. They will wonder about us as we wonder about those who first sharpened sticks and drew animal figures on the walls of caves.
the poetic flow is lethal like a black widow spider weaving lyrical threads forming poetic webs around hearts, minds bobbing heads arched backs, and shaking legs injecting arthritic blue veins with rhythmic venom paralyzing ear drums causing oral spasms and mental orgasms with the tip of the tongue -Poetic Sword-
Our birth is but a sleep and a forgetting; The soul that rises with us, our life's star, Hath had elsewhere its setting, And cometh from afar; Not in entire forgetfulness, And not in utter nakedness, But trailing clouds of glory do we come from The Creator, who is our home. -
I miss hanging with my people since we out here in the woods. We pray to get back around on the block and step with the tick tock of the flock... Peace to all the Suns and Stars in the GalaxY, Shine on, Y'All! shine with me...

the poetic flow is lethal
like a black widow spider
weaving lyrical threads
forming poetic webs
around hearts, minds
bobbing heads
arched backs, and shaking legs
injecting arthritic blue veins
with rhythmic venom
paralyzing ear drums
causing oral spasms
and mental orgasms
with the tip of the tongue
