Age

older today
with three years..
nearly four expected
almost… but it doesn’t matter

Appointed

a single month before
the company recruited her
she served as a connection
between unwillingness
and worrisome fact
in serious favor to the obvious
conflict of interest

Reason

a government with divine rights
there is no question
the kings rule as monarchs
administering justice among the people
an oppressive line of royalty
waiting for a revolution

Action

all luggage loaded
trunk closed
driver speaking in a foreign language
windows rolled up
accelerating rapidly
a distant siren
flowing forward
lights, camera

Different

chanting by myself
in angry determination
commenting to myself
some call it insanity
I call it entertainment
either way, it’s exciting

Vigil

blood thirsty invaders
offering a warriors death
a land with honor
spirits roaming for eternity
familiar with the magnificent beliefs
a concept of a soldier

Watchers

standing in the front door
two strange figures
another in the street
walking into the house
the door swung shut
a man stood in stone form
waiting infinitely, playing a time game
his hand raised
an ill feeling, wrenching my brain
a harsh darkness sweeping me away
that is all I remember

Hunted

the growing trees opened
their green leaves revealing
the working interior pipes
living machines creatively
working about the lobby
sending energy throughout the facility

Hunted

the mothership
glossy with trouble
a sorted collection of headaches
the shell is attractive
the deck gleaming
rugged, crisp, feels good
beaming, blackness, inspiring

Raw

nimble and content
dancing through the forest
the theater pumping out
an optical partner
to the brilliant noises
of the woods, elegantly fused
in a backwards format

Worlds

the race to connect
furiously manipulating dozens
the complete lack of leadership
and services provide a great
environment for anyone to step up
the forces, the pulses of the masses nearly giving the city away
a typical promise to any architect

Mandate

weapons, at our disposal
preparing to oppose
a battle to define the world
powerful machines
all attempting to control us
researchers with vital knowledge
navigate the information
it is familiar to us
touching our weaknesses, sensing our strengths
buttons, keyboards, mouses lie unresponsive
our end of the manipulation has run out

Unlock

held hostage in a realm
focusing on thoughts
adopted, transformed
the hidden value, surprise
that comes from being locked inside
the white is eerily stimulating
passing time along
with my best friend: myself
an audience with true potential

Land

the constant traveler
roaming, carrying out
an unknown journey
a continual game
through mysterious decisions
details undiscovered
embracing the daily life
the life of the city

Complexity

it takes years
commiting, planning
a powerful part of the investment
choosing the right goals
no…no, that is all wrong
bad advice has been given
just hope you are ready
slip into the driver seat
grab the wheel
and take a ride
into the swift, cold
wind of the future

Supplies

emerging from internal compartment
after the prolonged
space trip, cramped together
isolated accommodations
losing track of time
daunting lengths of time
the realities of long-distance travel
increased discomfort, managing inconvenience

Shrinking

realistic hallucination
hiding behind
the fake view
wounded, swelling
appearing itself
to disappear

Purpose

bad sound
a radio station
sensory distortions
brain upside down
inventing on its own

Absolute

a small gap
a chamber
following the curve
inches to pass
a careful solution
too deep? possible
a defined, sharp surface
smooth,easily
in my mind

Surrender

listening to the pulse
hundreds of slaves worldwide
regional awareness
a modern teacher
learn everything correctly
students then entirely abandoned
the weight brought down
with frozen precision
connected, lost

Cutthroat

the peak of operations
a company’s ever expanding
empire, investments and interest
raised higher than ever
an enormous source of critical information highlighted with
tantalizing and detailed science
tightly aligned to
single-handedly control
the living industry

Artificial

basic science to process
the current information
setting goals
studies published
numbers crunched
tremendous achievements
traveling fast to change
in these circumstances
meaninglessly uploaded
there is no point
it has learned too much

Emblem

fresh and calm
green leaves, beautiful
vaguely restless
running, weightlessly
moving, edging, a stream
flowing through a jungle

Uninhibited

rearranging itself
inhabiting, dwelling
carrying the heat
the power of war
business cluttered
with distant moments
of bright reactions
growing closer

Time

activities, walls sparkling
a grand piano
playing in the background
comfortable chairs all around
a beach, a dream, fading

Secret

jumping, unemployed
businesses, government even
shocking misuse of power
underground innovation
undermining the framework
of corporate construction
doors to the citizens
fountains for the passengers

Contrast

progression migration
a flow of the present
dynamics, here or there
immigrants categorized
groupings provided
fascinating surprises

Changing

full of sunshine
ordinary, signs of life
finished, detailed
intended for proper use
appearance becoming darker
actions of destruction
unnecessary monochromatic
transforming details
the whole process
now decaying ruins

Insufficient

an exhaustive process
replacing the memory
in your brain
a long time archiving
information for us
following your patters
expanding the categories
backing up significant data
let us help you
memories, stored in our database

Looking

no strangers here
to the infamous screen
we discussed the issue
most relevant to
the particular error
the topic has been viewed
two years have passed
it rests on your shoulders

Kill

risking my life
for a small reward
remember that the
day is late
how much for the face?
forsaken beast
poor souls, thirst of slaughter
a desperate monster

Kaleidiscope

back in time
i’ll stay with you
continue my
journey through life
change my perceptions forever
sooth my fears, misfortunes, sacrifices
mistakes of the future
beauty is not perfect
new ways to find
a path

Morning

tomorrow wake up
bed, first eat breakfast
considered routine
remarkable commentary
reminiscent of the cinema
a sing song monologue
events taking place
the course, the drollness of it

Downfall

pure plotting
focus on usage
interacting with data
zooming through series
charts generated
solutions tested
working, supported
powerful features
made to impress
yet it failed

Packing

watching the entire career
materials packed
dangerously, averting disaster
priceless objects, heavy things
shrink-wrapped to protect
the precious cargo
a failure now would
cost many workers
quality jobs
five years, left with cargo

Intervention

spending billions
morphing strings of code
giant apocalyptic robots
mushroom clouds
tough elements
stopping, winning, trying
oceans ablaze
a fiery tornado
vortices of magma
flares burning, smoking
hot wildfires
recycling, connecting
barely brilliant

Quiver

a monstrous illusion
controlling children
drilling the subconscious
calling on their fears
danger whispering, murmuring
a glimpse of shapeless movement
scuttling through the dark
like an injured spider
draining, stopping, sudden pains
intensifying, glaring eyes
glistening flesh, discolored
dripping corpse
collapsing in the dark
shrieking, sluggishly fading
into the darkness

Engineered

a visual representation
a single green line
working its way
through peaks and valleys
powerful progression
data in white and green
the revolution
a flood of information
collected applied to
our lives, patterns, feedback
a promise, deadly, simple
successful insights
monitoring, calculating
waiting, opportunistic
automatic and smart
everything in one
we created it
it analyzes our lives
calculates our data
monitors our moves
and for the good of the people?
perhaps not

Mainland

frozen, managing to crawl
away slowly carried
by hope, benediction
a wood fire waiting at home
frostbitten fingers, arms, toes, legs
red-eyed winter white
cold, unforgiving sunshine
jacket, wool, useless
a moment longer
phone lines? dancing in
the winter wind
ice bears down
painfully, a vengeance
flaring with a mad
white, heatless fury
gray snow, thicker
than before, whiteness
blackness, terror

Famous

word-of-mouth
a piece of news
traveling extraordinary distance
in no time at all
mobilizing followers
activating minds
advertising importancy
human communications
word-of-mouth
responding to pursuasion
telling friends
open exchange igniting
trends carrying
a piece of sensational news
the explanation found

it began

Undisclosed

pleased as usual
devised by an expert
a brainteaser waiting
to be solved
solution always fiendish
clues too obscure
tricks for the mind
unsolved after
feverish hours
perplexing

Intelligent

an army of machines
a hurricane, unmanned
emergency response
rubble, smoke, lights
scouts , remotely
controlled deployed
into collapsed buildings
prepping, testing
for the storm
victims with little
preparedness, trapped,
it will not stop
inspecting, no survivors

Illusion

a mysterious disappearance
of documents
where are they?
a magicians trick
or a veil of
deception, a mask
hidden, stolen
he ran like hell
someone would have
talked, politics
always figured
out unintentionally
or intentionally
uncovered
sensitive material?
not for long

Puzzle

the strange gnawing
feeling, the urge
to know, to unveil
reading a conspiracy
with a dream
safeguard it’s existence
or destroy it’s integrity
burning questions
bring the real thrill

Summer

entertaining, extraordinary
start early
get comfortable
stay unpredictable
follow the flow
listen, improvise
sophisticated playlist
straightforward,
not elaborate
simplistic preparations

Mess

human wellness
tempting
our records
indicate you are
due for the following
prime of your life
tempting
regular visits are
essential to your care
happy, healthy, protected
tempting
scientific, subliminal
our care is
a no-brainer
victims are patients
or was it
patients are victims

Clockwork

the cool, refreshing morning
brings the soft, fragrant greenery
to life
sun beaming through
dancing leaves
denying the night
cut off by howling
gusts and patches of
rain within
minutes clouds
smother the sun
night retakes the day

Profession

an acquanted expert
a seasoned star
in a nurtured aircraft
the embodiment of aviation
precision, sturdiness, functionality
sharing a simple
movement
an authentic aeronautical
instrument flown with
passion
certifiably located
in the sky

Unprotected

it can be summed up
with two words
strange technique
keeping odd hours
millions of designs
attracted by audacity
however willing
the songbird raves
easy to capture
harder to forget

Beauty

misguided souls
amorphous generations
traditionally durable
stunning, seamless
elegantly designed
artifacts, technology
industrialized buildings
it’s different now
than it ever was

Future Window

intelligent objects gathering
connecting advanced patterns
analyzing information
performing simple predictions
future decisions unveiled
now the world knows
the key to a
smarter planet
analyze data
optimize results
it’s what we thought
we wanted

Cityscape

between aesthetics and cost
terribly expensive
integrating beautifully
painted buildings
radically placed concrete
confusing interfaces
uncomfortable similarities
eerie differences
inflexible goals with
unexplored consequences
described in detail

Contagious

a world with rules
is a very different place
controlled thinking
veiled thoughts
clouded minds
diluted followers
spontaneous yawning
wandering epidemics
ridiculous proportions

It all comes together now

three little effects
three changes

one: drama
grade school drama
two: flu attacks
in pandemic form
three: connection of children
and rise and fall of disease
in an epidemic
classroom

Revolution

second virus
possible population drops
incremental changes
yet dramatic
pies wearing shoes
one hundred
single-handedly
started the trend
slowly, steadily
