Beyond The Midas Touch

In our relentless pursuit to conquer nature, humanity has come close to achieving the alchemist’s dream β€” 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...

Vodka Novichok

Putin, with power so bold,
Made enemies vanish, we're told.
With vodka, a sip,
And a poisonous grip,
He'd silence themβ€”brutal and cold.

The Hollowing

No banners wave, no boots in line, No marching columns lock in time. Yet something shifts, a silent crack, The ground gives wayβ€”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...

Trump's Gambit


 

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...

If I were God...

If I were God, no tyrant’s fist Would strike the world and call it law. No throne would stand on broken backs, No crown be forged from cries of pain. The fattened few who drink from veins Of those who toil, who starve, who break, Would wake to find their golden feasts Had turned to dust upon their tongues. No child would fade to hollow bone, No mother beg for crusts of bread, No fa...

The poem hopefully paints a chilling portrait of cowardice dressed as strength and the erosio...
