Homo sapiens: In the Grip of the Few
What a wonderful capacity we humans have
For limiting our freedom. The Magna Carta
(UK) June 1215, Land of the free, home of
The brave 4 July 1776, yet lurking behind
Our apparent love of freedom lies a control
Gene, a nasty little glitch always ready and
Waiting to wrench power from the people
Placing it firmly in the grip of the few.
It is all about removing control away from
The individual, driverless cars, a perfect
Example, primed and ready for Big Brother
To bark downwards to the would*be free.
Internet grammar sites, a cheaters charter,
Let them write your new pitch, your new
Thesis, your next song, poem, letter, book,
But then the work isn’t yours, it never was,
So what pride in writer*originality is there
To be had? Not a lot was the cry.
Now, here comes AI, medically a useful new
Tool, but that’s not all, as predicted AI will
Quickly evolve becoming ultimately smarter
Than us and in the wrong hands, and on
The battlefield… who knows what may lurk
Just a handful of years away or already be
Here.
Controlling AI will not be straitforward, and
Certainly not in Chine or in Russia, who may
Raise two fingers to the West. Technology
Gave us the A Bomb, the H Bomb and now
The AI bomb, unlike anything that has gone
Before, an alien intelligence of unlimited
Potential and perspective, brains unlike our
Own, values unlike our own and as for a
Conscience? Drastically unlike our own.
Beyond the scientific hype, do we really
Want Artificial Intelligence becoming our
Masters, making decisions about our
Health, deciding who should live and
Who should die, a will fulfilled by slave
Aerators who gave up their right to think
Rationally long ago. Every aspect of life
On earth will potentially be visited by AI,
Leaving everything we take for granted
Hanging by an ever*fraying thread.
Lies, truth, fantasy, reality, a deluge of AI
Electric*trickery, pouring over the airwaves,
Into homes, devices listening in to private
Conversations, private lives, searching for
Your information. AI scammers targetting
People, banks, businesses and worse still,
Government infrastructure, military bases.
Hell let out of the bag, No, it’s not the Devil,
It’s worse than that. Seek and you will find,
Knock and the door will be opened and
Opened it has been, to the biggest threat
Ever faced by humanity. An invasion without
A shot being fired.
Often too busy to keep an eye on what goes
On behind our backs, remember the push to
Have us all change over to Diesel cars, save
The earth, drive Diesel and then came the truth
Diesel*is*deadly, get rid, go electric, meanwhile,
Volkswagen were busy fitting emission cheating
Software to their cars. Today in the UK children
As young as eleven miss class to vape, free
Samples handed out like sweets by profiteering
Shopkeepers. Wherever one turns the balance
Of society is being disrupted, lost or diluted,
How come no one noticed what the children
Were up to until it was too late and they were
hooked?
In the mid term, ow long will it be now before
Battery driven vehicles are found wanting and
Their even less polluting alternative becomes
The preferred choice and battery waste and
Its disposal a horror of the past?
Why do we stand back as our jobs are given
Over to robots, have we become to lazy to
Learn, too idle to to get our hands dirty, best
Leave skill and experience to the machines.
Robots that work day and night, never strike,
Never talk back, don’t need toilet breaks,
Smoke breaks and canteens.
It is not beyond the power of imagination to
Envisage AI giving rise to driverless trains,
Pilotless planes, natural companions of
Driverless cars until that is, something goes
Badly wrong, Mother and three children
Kidnapped by driverless car…cops baffled.
We cannot afford to lose our Freedom.
AI is an invasion we must limit and in
Part resist. I can see the advantages
Of AI but like those directly involved
In the technology I can see why they
Beg government intervention and
Regulation exposed by the hidden
Threat to humanity. Modified crops
Once raised public concern and now
We have another more serious scare:
Modified people.
AI: Passport to Neanderthalia

Indeed no one, except Allah, knows what lies in store for mankind tomorrow. Be it glee or sorrow. But with an undeniable certainty there will be a Resurrection and Judgement Day
A permanent assignment to heaven or hell. With an absolute certainty. Absolute reality. Our deeds and Allah's mercy will determine where we will dwell eternally. Your views, opinions and feelings to the contrary are irrelevant
And astronomically insignificant. Whether you choose to believe or disbelive. Whether you plead, cry, protest or shout out in one final fit of rage. Nothing can change the inevitability of man being raised from the grave

Jesus had risen from the dead,
Who was the offspring of David;
Preached in the Gospel as it read,
That the Christians have elated.
I am suffering from evil,
But the Word of God is not bound;
With power over the devil,
Throughout the Scriptures, we have found.
I endure for the sake of all,
Of the elect that they obtain;
The salvation before their fall,
Eternal glory to attain.
Because if we had died with Him,
Then with Him, we will also live;
And life will not be looking grim,
When God is willing to forgive.
If we suffer then we will reign,
But if we deny, we will die;
For we cannot endure the pain,
As we continue to cheat and lie.
He stays faithful, though we are not,
For He Himself cannot deny;
Because it is God whom we have sought,
For transgressions to rectify.

By military standards
It was a heinous crime
Worthy of a pay cut
Or even doing time,
So you fought for a mate
You really had to try
For there but for fortune
Could go you or I.
You’re lying Corporal
The Sergeant Major said.
I tried not to blink,
Looked straight ahead.
Of course I was lying
That’s what you do
To save a mate and
The Sergeant Major knew.
You don’t get to his rank
Without knowing the tricks
And the things people try
To get out of a fix.
So you lie like a trooper
Stick rigidly to your tale
It’s in the hands of the gods
Whether you win or fail.
For in the barmy army game
Sometimes you dared and won
And sometimes you did that by
The outrageous tales you spun.
For for you knew and they knew
But if you stubbornly stuck it out
For some strange reason they could
Give you the benefit of the doubt.
For a Regiment is just a big family
With its white and its black sheep,
And within that big family
Loyalties and feelings run deep.
They'll beast you amd test you,
Listen as you whinge and moan,
But when push comes to shove
You're still one of their own.

i like black licorice
and black capes and gloves and tresses
and long short and dark dresses
and i'm aware that there are a hundred
different colors of darkness
that the color black has many dye lots
that people judge how dark you are
or how dark you are not
and thus the content of your character
i like dark secrets
and closets with flashlights for reading
Gothic novels and dark bleak poetry
and tales of monsters that don't go boo
because what monster would say that
he wouldn't say a thing
all he'd have to do is smile
with his jagged teeth or the lack of them
i love black cats and black dogs and black crows
and black days with dense fog
and nights that have pinholes for stars
for wishing and sprinkles
and dark winds to rattle and blow
how the darkness shrinks distances
and makes you squint so you can't see very far
i like black patent shoes and also
black patent train cases
filled with small zippered compartments
and small extra spaces to hide your favorite little things
and secret little finds
like a gypsy I prefer recycled
i like to recycle the past in my mind
everything everyone gets used again
in the dark corners
where memories resides
i like black satin shoes and black satin sighs
and black garters that gird the width of my thighs
and black caged bustiers and black dancing nights
that keep the dawn at bay
I'm dark for adventure that way
I've a sly dark glance and a fluttering black eye
my eyeliner cat*like makes a line for a mile
i like meeting people at night
it softens the lines and widens the smiles
and people can relax out of the glare of the day
and be themselves for awhile
or maybe even pretend to be someone else
on a rare adventure
night doesn't censure it quiets and sighs
ask me again
ask me once more
why i like all things black
i'll come back with much more
and my list always grows
and all of them
will more than equal
the sum of my black bliss
i am a creature
of the night.
(I heard someone whisper that once.and I liked HIM for saying this)

* HOW TO KNOW JESUS CHRIST OUR LORD AND SAVIOR *
A salvation prayer, known by many Christians as a 'Sinners Prayer,' is a prayer one would say to repent from sin, ask God for forgiveness, confess belief in Jesus Christ, and accept him as Lord and Savior. Saying a salvation prayer is the first step in your personal relationship with God.
If you believe the Bible offers truth about the way of salvation, but you have not taken the step to become a Christian, it's as simple as praying this prayer. You can pray by yourself, using your own words. There is no special formula. Just pray from your heart to God, and he will save you. If you feel lost and don´t know what to pray, here´s a salvation prayer that you can follow:
Dear Lord,
I admit that I am a sinner. I have done many things that don´t please you. I have lived my life for myself only. I am sorry, and I repent. I ask You to forgive me.
I believe that You died on the cross for me to save me. You did what I could not do for myself. I come to You now and ask you to take control of my life; I give it to You. From this day forward, help me to live every day for You and in a way that pleases You.
I love you, Lord, and I thank You that I will spend all eternity with You.
Amen.
If you have just prayed this prayer, congratulations!:))
You have received Christ as your Savior and have made the best decision you will ever make´one that will change your life forever!

~ ALL THAT IS IN THE WORLD ~
* 1 John 2:15*17*
John warns us not to love the world or the things in it. But what is the world? The apostle isn't talking about the material realm, so there's no need to deprive ourselves of everything we enjoy in life. Rather, he is reminding us that every good desire can be perverted by sinful longings and pride.
The nature of the world system is seen in the behaviors, attitudes, and ambitions of our culture:
Immorality. Our society seeks to gratify lust in ways that God has forbidden. Immorality has even entered our homes through the internet and television.
Greed. The culture is driven by a desire for wealth, material possessions, fame, and power´and some people lie, cheat, steal, or kill to get what they want.
Pride. People are lovers of self and want to be seen as better than others. It's common today to portray oneself falsely on social media in order to be admired.
Despite the sinful condition of our culture, we shouldn't be discouraged. God is greater than the world's power to entice, and His purposes aren't thwarted by sin. He is able to guide us through the darkness as we trust and follow Him.
By Dr. Charles Stanley.

What we suffer now is nothing compared to the glory he will give us later.
´ Romans 8:18 (TLB)*
Father, help me to go beyond the afflictions and tribulations of our age, and to look toward the inheritance reserved for us in heaven.
By Evangelist Dr. Billy Graham

*Reflect & Pray *
There's no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to
do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.
*1 John 4: 18
When do you find yourself feeling pressured to believe fear is greater than love? How might your relationships with others change if you believed you don´t need to be afraid?
Loving God, thank You for Your Love. Help us to trust in and follow Your Light and Love even when the way gets dark.
