Those That Mock The Sick
Lonzo’s Halloween Poetry challenge that I wrote during a meeting with some of my friends from a local writing group. 97 words.
🎃
Witches gather here
singing ballads for pumpkins
in ghastly forests
🎃
Munchkins trick or treat
candy corpses they’ll consume
blood syrup lip-balm
🎃
Mortals rejoice death
no gargoyle tears, dance instead
cackling at costumes
🎃
Those that mock the sick
beware when the full moon strikes
the role will be yours
🎃
The terror you bring
will return to swallow you
then plant you in earth
🎃
Dream of pumpkins
throats slit, insides carves for art
candles replaced hearts
🎃
The pumpkin carvings
left to rot till November
remains Christmas frost
🎃
The steam in lattes
seep through cinnamon froth
those are ancient ghosts
🎃

~ Fired ~
— Ai Intrusion ~ Are you Next ~ Is Ai Evolution after your job? — Few workplaces haven't been affected. Ai is in supermarkets, at doctors' offices, and even monitoring farms. I just can't think of anything this machine is not getting into, can you? For instance: Education ~ Law and Tech jobs will one day have a major influence or be taken over by these inanimate machines, with accuracy and vigor. From mechanics' diagnoses to a wide variety of everyday jobs, including fast food workers, with this input having the ability to cut their unnecessary work hours. I'm certain all of us have been touched by this with our short stories and colorful headings, have you? Even comments are very questionable 'Non-Robot' insertions.
