I wish


I wish I’d helped you understand something about death before it is too late 

I wish we had sat 

I wish we had ate 

I wish we had shared 

A significant moment that helped us emerge 

Like a butterfly from a cocoon 

I wish we had been more serious 

I wish we had said what we needed to say 

I wish we had known how little of time we had 

I wish we had sat in silence 

I wish we had broken through 

Found solace in the quite 

I wish we had known 

How soon this life would be over 

But of-course we did 

We still took it as though 

We had a long time to go 

I wish we had spoken 

I wish we had Ignored our phones 

Seen each moment as a token 


We were undone by the banks 

They wanted us to take out loans 

Pay off the interest 

Forced us to labour 

Managers, executives, head of this head of that 

Buildings construction law admin 

This was our lives 


I wish I’d said enough is enough 

Turned our backs and laugh 

Foreclosure, bankrupt, owing, bad credit 


But we played along 

Played dead all along 


I wish we had been mature 

Instead of looking for grandeur

There Was A Time Before Algorithms

I know it’s going to sound strange but there was a time before algorithm   Where we basically made our own decisions Yes it sounds like we were out of rhythm   But actually we got to use our brains   People met each other offline   It was a fun time   Of-course there was no offline because there was no online   The only thing online was our brains   Now of-course our brains are offline our phones are online   Not that there is much of a difference between our phones and our brains   Haven’t you seen you go to sleep around the same time you leave your phone alone   Can’t function unless you are one with your phone So if your phone is your brain   Then what will your brain do? Anyway people met and spoke and determined if they would meet again  At an actual location, mostly outdoors, when the weather was right And you couldn’t just unsubscribe at the bottom of the email   You had to have a tough real conversation   Or r...

Love?

  The world understands love as dating and owning each other, having a person. Getting married to another person and all that jazz. Love in this way is someone that I will be jealous over. Someone that I will use for something, to get something out of them. To the world love is the person who carries my burdens, has to deal with my demons, my aggression, my flaws. Love also is not the contrary of all these things for if it were then it would not be love.   In the world a friend again is the person that you use/ abuse. When you need someone to burden and then fight with. Tell them your petty fights at work and mischievous things you find yourself entangled in.  What then is love? Love cannot be fenced into a description, precisely the word love is limited, it’s only a word and can be abused and is used and abused. Everyone uses that word even when they are drunk and when they make absolutely no sense. They use that word when they have abused their friends and want forgiven...

When people genuinely love each other there is no need for boundaries

When we love each other we do not need to set boundaries. Love overcomes the need for boundaries. It is when there is no love that boundaries exist.  If you love each other naturally you won’t hurt each other. However when there is contempt for each other we will hurt each other and then we will set boundaries.  Boundaries are not a natural part of our relationships. They are like borders, they are created because we have been hurt. They are created out of fear. When you become aware that someone can hurt you, you have to create a border / a boundary so that they do not hurt you.  Living in boundaries is limited. Rather live in love. We force ourselves into relationships that require boundaries as we have come to understand relationship as synonymous with conflict. We thrive from the ups and downs of relationships and thus we need boundaries from the very people that we say we love. Is it not possible to live without hurting each other?  Do you want to be in love or ...
