Are We Alright

Would you trade this life for another?
For shadows that lead away
Leaving behind only echoes
A past of painful truths

Will you forge a new pathway?
Built on lessons learned
Stories that are over now
Chapters written and done
But the book is incomplete

There are pages still blank
Waiting for a hand to touch
Words are left unwritten
Much left undone, so much

Learning To Walk

How many steps make up a life?
From the first with uncertainty
Unsure of the next one
Often stumbling we rise

Growing stronger we rush
Headlong towards oblivion
The unknown goals ahead
Yet to be seen by these eyes

Stoic Poetry

Artificial Intelligence

On the back of a lack
we still have hope
the code we will crack
in darkness grope

If it can only understand 
we always fall short
flames we have fanned
too late to abort

Hoping it is smarter still
than we are now
built without free will
keeping control somehow

Stoic Poetry
