in a world of make believe
lie on lie ever deeper
the mind will rebel in the end;
illness often the consequences.
(If you leave me now/Chicago)

•°• A Twisted Classic •°•

Yes if you end me now
You take from me the very worst part of me
Ooh-ooh-hoo, yeah
Baby, please let me go

A life like mine is a life hard to define
How can I do this day to day?

I can push no more, must leave it all behind
Why wasn't it taken during a mental crisis day?
Every tomorrow that comes is led by regret
Everything up to today

My child is your child.
Their happiness is ours.
Their unhappiness is our own.
If you adore someone else's child,
your own will be cherished.
If you dislike someone else's child, your own will be hated.
The children are our greatest possession.
Children are the centre of our lives.
The children are our blessings.
And the children are our source of fun.
Please do not humiliate children in any way.
Let us grow them at every chance. Because they are tomorrow's titans.
Be careful folks and do be warned
there’s no safe place in open forum!

Perhaps you seek a loving rhyme         In the intimate sea of human kind
Perhaps you believe in a sacred place
Where love is limited to face-to-face

Perhaps you forgot to question why
Believing it’s best if others die
Open forum allows these things
But just be warned of where it leads…
Traveler 🧳 Tim

Just thought I’d try something different.
Trying to think of something poignant to say
But I’m not sure poignancy works that way
Think and think til your brain turns blue
But it’s just the kinda thing that’s gotta
Come  to you
Oh! O' dearest
So come nearest
I have interest
So let me rest
Weaponize your loneliness,
As your rose takes on thorns
Till it hurts in that hand
Crushing the stem in your own
Light is on its way.
Tomorrow is waiting.
Let's celebrate it together.
A new project proposed
Most folks will deny
We’re all bias prejudice
That’s why we’re a mess





A modern haiku
A.k.a. Free Form or Contemporary Haiku Allows a greater freedom to expressed ideas, emotions through Haiku

A juxtaposition or surprise
Allows the reader to experience a sudden shift in perspective or emotion
I taught a class in ethics. Everybody has biases and prejudices. Things they were taught, things they’ll learn from their surroundings, things they learn to believe on their own.. we make determinations of people within seconds. We determine whether they’re friends or foe. by our filters of what we know. Nobody is perfect.
