In our relentless pursuit to conquer nature, humanity has come close to achieving the alchemist’s dream —
turning lead into gold. Recent breakthroughs at CERN have made this a reality, but the fleeting creation
of gold is a stark reminder of the price we pay. As we manipulate genomes, shape life, and control matter,
we must ask: what are we sacrificing in our quest for mastery? The genie i...

The dreams we cherish, will they come to be?
In perfect worlds, all wishes would align.
Yet still I wonder, as I search to see,
What life will bring, and how it will define.
The storms may rage, yet in their swirling mist,
I catch a glimpse of light that leads the way.
Each answer seems elusive, hard to grasp,
But still I hope, and keep my fears at bay.
Though answers fade, my hope w...

future dreams hope life
by happy
On Mondays, “Magician”
feels like the answer
On Tuesdays, Maybe a teacher?
Wednesdays, I think of willy wonka—
in my mind, a chocolate factory I see
and decide “He’s the one I want to be”
3 days of dreaming weren’t enough so,
Travellers intrigue me on Thursdays,
and Firefighter is an idea of Fridays
But at the end of the day, its tiring
being indecisive, and living off steam
But I...

dream future motivational life poetry
by Rolph David
No banners wave, no boots in line,
No marching columns lock in time.
Yet something shifts, a silent crack,
The ground gives way—we can't turn back.
He rules not as the past has shown,
No iron grip, no brutal throne.
But whims unleashed, all rules declined,
A lawless world, a fractured mind.
The courts still stand, their robes still flow,
Yet power twists, the cracks still grow.
A w...

He leaves NATO, the pact undone,
No ally left to block his run.
Article 5 is cast aside,
No aid, no help, no place to hide.
Greenland waits, a prize to claim,
No resistance, none to blame.
Courts grow silent, power reigns,
No law to stop him, no remains.
Congress bows, the path is clear,
No dissent, no foe is near.
The Constitution torn apart,
A kingdom built from iron hear...

When I was young and time was infinite,
I was spontaneous, impulsive, and impatient.
Now I am older,
and life is precious,
and the timeless becomes a time
with an end in sight.
Love becomes more visible.
I am adventurous,
thoughtful, and patient,
building the next dream
in a timeless future.

infinite adventurous thoughtful timless future sight
by Rolph David
This poem is about a society increasingly divided, where accusations fly and truth seems lost. It speaks to the urgency of listening instead of blaming, understanding instead of judging, and choosing hope over fear. In a world where opinions are quickly voiced and emotions run high, the poem urges a shift in perspective—one that values connection, love, and the strength to find hope, even in diffi...

do not be disheartened
from the powers that be
they shape our media,
close our borders,
delegitimise our freedom,
emasculate our men,
oppress our women,
suppress queer identity,
profile non-white skin.
they take our taxes,
pay their bankers bonuses,
privatise and pollute our water,
shape our education,
control our minds,
continue colonial wars.
they steal oil and gas from the ...

Lobo’s Got a New Ride
Sirens howl in the December morning frosty air the pale haze of cold morning dew. The coffee pot drips the house back into life out of the deep winter slumber. What a good time to sleep she heard him say, but she wasn’t sure if it was she who said it first. The burst came later upon the reflections of a future not yet arrived, a direction she can’t see. She thinks it will ...
