Thought Crime


Graveyard of Abandoned Fads

Eulogy to lost optimism

The desire for meaning and the quest for knowledge


Future measurements of current fortune

Addicted to targets and goals

Reduce the impact of negative stress

Knowledge dispels fear

Educate your self

Domination is strategy

In My Happy Place

A series of cynical/simple haiku poems...
developed for the open-minded post-rational
non-conformist belligerent naive fools...
insecure yet non-selfish lovers...
surface-dwelling enablers.





Birth

beginning cycle
life coming into the world
thinking survival




Space

infinite expanse
where no one can hear you scream
the final frontier




Ocean

the source of life
amazing, vast and immense
blue place that we fish




Diversity

cosmopolitan
multilingual migration
globalisation




Nature

barbaric, wild
exotic and colourful
but lacks opinion




History

will never repeat
nor repent, beg, steal or lie
humans can do that




Health

under the weather
vitamins and supplements
faith in placebos




Patience

lacking in many
but needed to develop
I can't be bothered




Body

celebrity skin
DIY-work required
can't leave it alone




Time

flies, crawls, yearns, glides, stalks
steam-rolls, does not wait for us
however we feel




Knowledge

different from wisdom
accumulation of thoughts
I know more than you




Justice

massive expenses
adversarial system
deaf, dumb but not blind




Science

current hypothesis
experimenting with life
the path to doomsday




Co-operation

combined strength unit
alliance, syndicate, tribe
against all the rest




Mathematics

measured quantities
graphs, relationships, patterns
counting everything




Television

ubiquitous filth
mass media in the lounge
make the voices stop







These viscous attacks and undetermined narratives have not come cheap.
They devour their host from the inside, causing random outbursts and pessimistic thoughts, until his soul is crushed, then reborn as a cute wee kitten on an island of sherbet, with rainbows, etc.


This was my tribute to Wonder Showzen*
(the funniest, most darkly disturbing [in a nice way] and sickening non-children's humour show, I have ever had my funny bone giggled by...)


NEXT WEEK:
Limericks about existentialist toilet graffiti in the Middle-East...
Recycled Vatican gift shop homeless shelter, free holiday, give-away lies for the gullible.
Words won't end here.
You are elite!
Sorry for the fuss :)

*titles taken from their episode list, but Haiku made up by me on the couch at home.

Butterfly Kisses


Best quote I have heard about sex lately:


"It's a wonder that humankind
has constructed
any
kind of civilization
with this monumental distraction at hand."

Enduring Nonsense

Permutations of human existence
affectionate combinations

live love life
life love live
love life live
life live love
love live life
live life love

3 x 2 = 6
