Australia started as a penal colony right? We need a new penal colony. One that won’t do all of that pesky developing.

I watch their lips move
Their silence is deafening
They think I don’t know
Bert
by gweller01 on Oct.25, 2018, under Poetry Writing, Rhyming Poetry
There once was a man called Bert
Whose behind consistently hurt
Not due to a hernia
Or his home in Hibernia
No the answer is so much more
See, Bert was not so inferior
In fact, he was much cheerier
For what can you do
When there’s a man who
Has his hand right up your posterior

I walk onto the pier to hear a baby crying somewhere far away.
An old woman sits in her chair
She points to the lake, the moon is resting on its surface, perfectly mirrored
I’m at the edge of the pier, gazing across the crystalline waters
Sinking
S i n k i n g into another place
A formless place, pure light, yet substantial
I can walk, but there is no ground
A well-dressed woman, her white gown stained by the life she created
The moon is behind her, its crimson hues leaking freely throughout this place
I awake on the pier, the moon bleeding through the water
Somewhere nearby, a baby cries.
Just fyi

I am not purposely making the spaces between lines really large. That’s just the wordpress default and I haven’t found where to change it yet.

Silicon Castles
All that virtual power
If nothing is real
What do we do afterwards
After the servers go down?

Stop fucking with free speech. It’s a human right. In the UK, people are getting arrested for offensive tweets because they could hurt somebody’s feelings. Fuck your feelings. If you don’t like what I’m saying, call me an asshole and then ignore me. Or engage in a conversation where we share our perspectives and possibly grow as people. Don’t try to silence people just because they disagree with you.
A Solution to the abortion debate WTITW (2)

The idea here is that we invent a sort of artificial womb. It’s like some sort of big metal pod. You extract the fertilized egg from the real womb, then place it in the artificial womb. Then the pod goes to you. You can keep it if you don’t want to go through the pain of childbirth, or give it away to someone else, or put it up for adoption. It’s painless, and no babies die. The pod itself would be covered in indicators and meters measuring the vitals of the baby and if you’re a hippy you can read to it or whatever. Boom, problem solved.
