George Orwell Poem on Puppies and Teddy Bears

 

More fun with AI as George Orwell pens some verse on the topic of fun fluffy things.

Ciinnamon-Stars Deviant Art

Long Live Stuffed Brother!

In the land of innocence and plush delight,

Where fluffy tyrants rule with all their might,

Puppies and teddy bears, a surreal sight,

In a world of propaganda, we'll now recite.

 

The puppies, round and soft, so sweet and pure,

But in their eyes, a watchful, secret lure.

Their fluffy paws, a grip so firm and sure,

They play the part, but motives are obscure.

 

Teddy bears, with button eyes, so sly,

In the arms of children, they comply.

A symbol of comfort, as we imply,

But who's the master in this wicked lie?

 

In this utopia of cuddles and play,

The puppies and bears have a role to convey.

They're tools of control, in a subtle way,

As innocence withers, and freedoms decay.

 

They listen in silence, these loyal spies,

Gathering secrets, with their woolly guise.

Whispered confessions, each baby's cries,

In the name of safety, liberty dies.

 

Big Brother watches, through the guise of fluff,

Tracking our lives, and it's more than enough.

As we hug our teddies, and play with our pups,

The surveillance state only tightens its cuffs.

 

So remember, my friends, in this tale so grim,

The cute and the cuddly, it's all a scheme.

In the spirit of Orwell, let's not be dim,

For the truth lies hidden, in this puppy dream.

Halloween Poem by Charles Bukowski


 The Dirty Old Man Opines on All Hallows Eve


Did Anyone Buy F***ING Candy?

A whiskey-soaked moon hangs low and dim,

On this dark October night, a spectral hymn.

The streets are alive with ghouls and jesters,

And the damned souls of lost barroom testers.

 

The neon lights flicker, casting eerie glows,

On the faces of the dead who walk in rows.

They stumble and stagger, their laughter obscene,

In the ghostly haze of a whiskey-drenched scene.

 

The women in costumes, alluring and wicked,

Their red lips like poison, their eyes like elixir.

They dance on the bar, and they dance on the table,

Seducing the devils, the demons, the unstable.

 

The bartenders pour, with a cynical grin,

Another shot of hellfire, another sip of sin.

The jukebox wails with a mournful tune,

As the lonely souls howl at the blood-red moon.

 

In the corner, a poet, battered and bruised,

With a notebook of verses, all battered and used.

He scribbles his lines in a drunken haze,

Capturing the madness of these haunted days.

 

Halloween, a night of chaos and vice,

Where the living and dead, they dance and entice.

In this city of shadows, where the lost souls reside,

It's a macabre carnival, an eternal ride.

 

So raise up your glass, and toast to the night,

As the darkness descends, and the witches take flight.

In the spirit of Bukowski, we revel and sing,

In this twisted, demented, and beautiful thing.

ChatGPT Composes a Love Poem ala Karl Marx

The Power of Oneness

 "From Oppression to Liberation: A Love Song for the Working Class"


by ChatGPT

As the worker toils in the factory,
His heart aches for his love so true.
But under the yoke of capitalist oppression,
He cannot freely express his feelings as he wishes to.

For his love is a commodity,
Like all things under capitalism's rule.
    It is bought and sold, used and abused,
And kept from him as a precious jewel.

But in the struggle for a socialist future,
Where the means of production are shared,
Love will be freed from its capitalist shackles, And the worker will finally be spared.

With love as a human right,
Not just a product of economic might,
The worker will love freely and boldly,
For the socialist revolution has made all things right.

But will it work as an AI-crafted video? I'll know soon.

A Cheery Poem on Aging and Opportunity Squandered

The Tragedy of the Leaves

by Charles Bukowski

I awakened to dryness and the ferns were dead, 
the potted plants yellow as corn; 
my woman was gone 
and the empty bottles like bled corpses 
surrounded me with their uselessness;  
the sun was still good, though,  
and my landlady's note cracked in fine and 
undemanding yellowness; what was needed now 
was a good comedian, ancient style, a jester 
with jokes upon absurd pain; pain is absurd 
because it exists, nothing more; 
I shaved carefully with an old razor 
the man who had once been young and 
said to have genius; but 
that's the tragedy of the leaves, 
the dead ferns, the dead plants; 
and I walked into a dark hall 
where the landlady stood 
execrating and final, 
sending me to hell, 
waving her fat, sweaty arms 
and screaming 
screaming for rent 
because the world had failed us 
both.

A Thought for January 31

 

Life is not lost by dying; life is lost minute by minute, day by dragging day, in all the thousand small uncaring ways.
