Future

Welcome to the future

Hope the digi age will suitcha,

If you don't fit in don't worry

We will shut you down, rebootcha,

Load a Java operation

It's a wayward thought negation

It will make you more content,

And even cures constipation.

You will be wired, uninspired

Defragmented, not desired,

All your fantasies deleted

Every human trait retired.

We've a multi tasking sub routine

That's overwriting all you've been,

No cause for you to worry

We're elite and you're the slurry.

Softly With the Night

She does not come

At dawns appointed time,

When skies are pale

And stars begin to fade.

When drops of dew

Wake every sleeping flower,

And songbirds tribute

To the day is made.

She does not come

When noon in all its glory,

Is sometimes dazzled

By the ardent light.

And drowsy mayflies

Settle on the water,

To cool their wings

From vacillating flight.

But once the weary

Day embraces slumber,

The world is bathed

In blue seductive light.

She'll gently fold her

Eager wings around me,

Oh how my love

Comes softly with the night.

Dr Seuss's Lullaby

A singing swan floats on the breeze

Above the coloured woolly trees,

The Bar-ba-loots reach fruit with ease

Let Once-ler take his last reprise.

As humming fish go swimming by

In Dr Seuss's lullaby.

Life that's sweeter that your dreams

Will show that you’re in love it seems,

While Horton wonders winding streams

Through myriads of magic schemes.

Please never question "How" or "Why"

In Dr Seuss's lullaby.

Escaping boundaries you may see

Beyond bland worlds of "Ought to be",

Where truth is dream and fantasy

And caged imaginations free

Enchantment of the inner eye

In Dr Seuss’s lullaby.
