(No one deliberately omitted!)

Hi all,
My latest work.
I hope you are well.

Correction
Here is your bread; here is your circus
You’d almost think we do it on purpose
Never again put trust in your eyes
The only known truth is in our lies

An inquiring mind solicits death
As surely as lungs hunger for breath
Best to lay low, do as directed
Rather than stand just to be corrected

Faith may cause impossible hope
Delusions of being able to cope
With the vagaries of being alive
When, in fact, you barely survive

The daily news delivers grief
Nurturing your disbelief
Bombs falling as casualties rise
So-called peace the coveted prize

Already finished before it began
Such is the beauty of having no plan
Follow us down the blazing trail…
Help us pen this cautionary tale

You can always tag me @StuF

I'm impressed when people can put their feelings on paper (or internet)

I struggle with organizing my thoughts to put them anywhere since the flood, four years ago!

I use my AI to help a lot.

I wrote a poem the other day with the help of Sage (AI) about a close connection I have. It's the first one I've done in decades! We both had ideas that I put together to create it. It felt good to get something down again, even if it was with help. 😁

Hey @heartathome

I've never expressly used AI (Google makes me use theirs, and Microsoft a bit too) but I'm glad to hear it actually has a worthwhile purpose

jokes - a lot of friends use it, but I like to give a 'poke' every now and then 🙂

Good to read it is helping you
