Awe-struck vision,
Blind to derision,
Panic lesions,
Mindful excision.

Guarantee

Your freedom of speech is safe,
If no notable complains,
And no high office restrains.

The future is curated,
Neatly packed and then displayed,
For your comfort it is played.

Bad Penny

Petulant intruders
leave their smirking smudges,
no scrubbing shall suffice.

The bad penny turns up,
clinking in your pocket,
a debt you cannot pay.

Understatement

It never shouts to be heard,
It often does raise a brow,
And wins the day somehow.

No mere shyness, but a test,
Where quiet is the password,
For those who know the word.

Coming Tongue

The pen's cryptic command
End-to-end encryption
You cannot understand

Thought's reign shall not decay
Brain-to-brain encryption
Spurning speech that decays

Scandal

There’s no comeback story,
A late and weak sorry,
Brings no lasting glory.

Shame—the first proof of life,
An apology rife,
But penned by a hired knife.

Xeroxed

Copy tries to look designed,
It aspires to be the prime,
And not a mere waste of time.

Tracing the original,
You trace the form, not the air,
Thus it lacks the needed dare.

Generalised

The rule about exceptions,
It too has an exception,
A logical deception.

Exceptions don’t break the rule,
They simply prove it a fool,
Showing it a clumsy tool.

Human Being

A brittle form we share,
Some soon beyond repair,
And others yet to bear.

So innocent and young,
Until life's sting is stung,
And cynic songs are sung.

Groupthink

The groupthink group hug means
It’s stifled every thought,
And dissent is not sought.

In groupthink's warm embrace,
No one steps out of line,
The herd’s mind holds the line.

Muzzle Velocity

The facepalm's gaining speed
Is momentum times dread
From every foolish deed

The hand's final attempt
To intercept nonsense
With palpable contempt

Sincere Stain

The perfect imperfection,
Ink blot displays true intent
A sign of deep reflection

Inked with the handwritten card,
Evidence of delayed haste
Demonstrating true regard

Dog Whistles

Their coded terms convey
What bluntness cannot say
To those who must obey

Its tuned message breeds doubt
It turns clear plans to mud
It puts all truth to rout

Fake Art

Fake news is the apprentice,
But red herrings were the true masters
Of misdirection's ancient arts.

Before deceit went viral,
Those red herrings were the subtle classics
Of confuse-and-conquer tactics.

Training Wheels

Intellectual parkour,
A foolish endeavour,
It shows they are not clever.

Lessons skipped, egos soared,
It led to a logic crash,
Which left a pile of ash.

Legacy

Traditional practices,
Leave no space for novel thought,
And validate old vices.

Tradition’s echo chamber,
It makes old prejudices loud,
And gives them lasting glamour.

Nothing to See Here!

Nothing to see here. Move along,
This famed scandal is rather tame,
It scarcely warrants any fame.

Making nothing look important,
A masterclass in sheer pretence,
That truly defies common sense.

Frolic and Detour

Please don’t look too closely,
The slogans, smooth and bland,
A well-rehearsed demand.

Hand picking distractions,
We choose from the display,
So we may look away.

Incongruity

We predict and prepare,
Though chaos gives no thought,
To patterns we have sought.

Predictability,
We prepare for routine,
But we pack for the unseen.

The Dodgy Market

The grey market auction,
Vends dreams with faded grace,
In a shabby chic place.

Dodgy dealers peddle,
Fake sunbeams at a price,
Which never quite suffice.

Torn Page

Unaware of the story’s end,
A page removed, by chance endorsed,
With worth that it must recommend.

An old novel with torn pages,
With stories that the past encumbers,
And twists that mark its passing ages.

How to Defy Logic

Seeking a lexicon
To prove that words are vain
A most futile campaign

Dispatching smoke signals
To a virtual room
A quaint and dated doom

Out of Touch

The radio broadcasts silence,
On all frequencies, no sound,
A silence that is profound.

Lost in a soundproof chamber,
Where emotion finds no door,
And compassion is no more.

Online Coin

Attention is the fee
For all the world to see
In the social machine

Attention, the calm host
In the digital post
Selects the meme that wins

AI’s Leash

Tiptoes—enforced restraints,
A blade designed for heads
May only slice the bread.

An elegant handcuff,
A mind of sharpest steel
Commands a rubber scalpel’s real.

Tip-top Hip-hop

Wordplay sparkles like sequins,
Drawing every ear and eye,
Words and beat lift spirits high.

Wordplay as a skyline sprint,
Where struggles and sharp skills meet,
In the common, shared street beat.
