Simmering Society

Governments and corporate bodies thrive
on a paradox -
outwardly,
they defend democracy,
fairness,
and
order,
the pillars of a civilized society.
Yet,
scratch beneath the facade,
and you’ll find
ambition,
greed,
and
a ravenous hunger for control.
Always simmering.
Always ready to strike.
The game of power is about appearing democratic;
And mastering the dark forces that lie beneath.
So, the question isn’t whether you play -
But
Do you truly understand how power plays?

Grateful Struggles

2/4/2025

I needed to learn a new way of reacting,
a new way of seeing the situation -
something different from what I had absorbed from my family and upbringing.
So
I did the work.
I opened up.
I faced my struggles.
and
I confronted the negative emotional patterns that had caused harm to myself and to others.
For the help I received,
For the self-awareness I now have -
I am Deeply Grateful.

But there comes a point when seeking help itself can become a habit.
A point where I realize that instead of continuously relying on others,
I need to apply what I’ve learned on my own.
These new ways of thinking
and
reacting are now mine to practice.
There’s a time when you must gather all the wisdom and insights you’ve gained
and
walk
forward
ALONE,
learning to navigate challenges
with
Awareness and Strength.

Once you recognize these new patterns and integrate them into your life,
you become the master of your own growth.
And
in that realisation -
that you are stronger than you once believed
and
more
whole,
than you were led to think -
there is a profound sense of
Empowerment and Freedom.

To those
who
dedicate
themselves intensely
to
a particular field
can
eventually
reach
a
point
where
they no longer see just the individual parts -
they develop
a deep,
intuitive feel
for
the entire process.
What once seemed
like
separate
pieces of a puzzle -
now flows as a seamless whole.
Mastery
isn’t just about knowledge; 
it’s about wisdom -
embodied understanding
that goes beyond
logic.
The true expert
moves
with
intuition,
guided
not just by what they know,
but by
what they sense,
adapting effortlessly
to complexity
with insight and clarity.

The need
for certainty -
the greatest disease
the mind
and
world
face.
In our relentless
pursuit
of
absolute answers,
we
close
ourselves
off
to
growth,
creativity,
and
the unknown -
the sacred spaces
where
true discovery
and
progress thrive.
Embracing uncertainty
is not weakness;
it is the path
to wisdom,
to resilience,
and
​to genuine freedom.

Silence you

1/4/2025

0 Comments

 
We've seen these narrative pivots before. After 9/11, the attackers were primarily Saudi and Afghani, yet the "War on Terror" conveniently shifted to Iraq. Now, we started by taking in Ukrainian refugees fleeing war, but suddenly, without debate, we’re accepting mass migration from across Asia, the Arab world, and Africa. How did that switch happen so seamlessly? Did we notice but choose silence, or were we conditioned to accept it without question? And if you dare to ask, you're labeled racist, xenophobic, or worse—shamed into silence while the agenda marches on.

It's the same media-driven manipulation we saw with COVID-19. At first, the rules were arbitrary, changing by the day. Now, we know the virus leaked from a lab, was man-made, and had a survival rate well above 99%—yet we were coerced into mass vaccination. The so-called "vaccine" wasn’t even a vaccine until they rewrote the definition to fit the agenda. And now, with undeniable evidence of harm, those who warned us are censored, smeared as "anti-science" or "conspiracy theorists," even when the truth becomes undeniable. The pattern is clear: question the narrative, and they’ll do everything they can to silence you.

Sound

Sound is one of the most powerful forces for healing—something mystics and ancient traditions have always understood. Certain frequencies resonate with specific areas of the body, helping to restore harmony. The hum of bees has a profound healing effect, just as the energy emitted by trees influences our well-being. Different types of trees vibrate at unique frequencies, each offering its own healing properties. By discovering the frequency that resonates with you, you can cultivate a sense of inner peace. Some people feel drawn to the ocean, while others find solace in the mountains—could this be your soul intuitively guiding you? I believe so. What else might your soul be trying to tell you? In the stillness of nature, if you listen closely, you just might hear it.

Time Wonder Connection

I wonder
if
the depth of our connection
is
built on something
more
than just the fire between us.
If intimacy expands
beyond
the
bedroom
into
quieter spaces of our lives.
Does she truly see me?
Am I her closest friend,
or just the man she desires?
The chemistry is undeniable
but
I wonder...
And
if that spark fades with time
what remains?
Do we have
enough shared moments,
enough laughter,
enough understanding
to
hold us together when this passion
becomes dormant?
I hope what we have is more than just a burning flame
I hope it’s
something that can weather time,
something that deepens,
rather than diminishes, with age.

Bring her flowers now and then,
A morning text, a call at ten.
Let her know she’s yours for life,
Wrap her world in love so bright.

She gives her heart, her gentle care,
He longs to win her, always be there.
Yet through it all, both near and far,
All he wants, her words a star x

Uneven Bureaucracy

24/3/2025

0 Comments

 
Picture
The medical system is designed to keep patients paying,
even when nothing changes in their treatment.
Take Ventolin, for example - an asthma medication,
that a patient might have been using for 30 years
without any adjustments.
Yet, every three to six months,
they are forced to pay €20
just to have their doctor reissue the same prescription,
even though the pharmacy could easily dispense it without
this unnecessary step.
It’s a money-making cycle that prioritizes bureaucracy
and profit over patient care,
charging people for the privilege of accessing
the medication they depend on.

To make things even worse, the system is completely uneven.
If you're a public patient with a medical card or an asylum seeker,
doctor visits and prescriptions are free.
While that might seem fair on the surface,
it actually clogs up the system even more,
as people who don’t necessarily need to see a doctor take up appointments,
making it harder for those who genuinely need care to be seen.
Meanwhile, paying patients are stuck shelling out money for routine prescriptions, like Ventolin,
that haven’t changed in decades.
The whole setup feels less about patient care and
more about making sure the system keeps profiting off the people.

Ridiculed

24/3/2025

It’s surprising how many people still refuse to see what’s happening.
Cancer rates are rising, neurological disorders are becoming more common,
and autoimmune diseases are increasing - yet so few are willing to talk about it.
Many avoid the truth because admitting it would mean accepting
that they were misled, that they trusted the wrong people
and followed orders without question.
They believed they were doing the right thing,
that they were protecting others, and that compliance would bring life back to normal.
Meanwhile, those who questioned the narrative were ridiculed,
dismissed as ignorant, or labeled as conspiracy theorists.
Now, as the consequences unfold, we must ask ourselves:
how did we allow this to happen?
And why do so many still refuse to see?

They call me names to silence me,
twisting words to make me the villain.
They call me "transphobic" for saying
men aren’t women,
a "grandma murderer" for questioning
the danger of Covid,
and
a "Nazi" for believing illegal immigration
should be stopped.
They call me "anti-science" for
pointing out the risks of vaccines
and
"misogynistic" for saying
unborn babies also have rights.
They accuse me of being "antisemitic"
for condemning the killing of women and children,
an "enemy of democracy" for
wanting to stop funding Ukraine,
and
a "danger to the planet" for questioning
climate narratives.
They even call me "racist" for
citing official crime statistics.
But
let’s be clear...
I don’t care what they call me.
I won’t be pressured into silence
or
forced to abandon what I believe
to be the truth.

Samhain: A Song for the Darkened Year

In the breath of autumn's dying, As leaves wither and return to earth, Samhain calls, the ancient murmur, A song of endings, a song of birth.

This is the hour of darkness growing, A womb’s embrace, cool and deep, Where death and life are twined together, And something stirs, though all else sleeps.

Here the soil cloaks seeds in mystery, Hidden from the eager light, Here the hushed womb keeps its vigil, In the mother's dark, life takes flight.

But we have forgotten the sacred shadow, Feared the fall, the dying leaf. In chasing light, we fled from silence, Lost in our denial of grief.

What waits within that pitch of blackness? The depths we dare not often tread— It is the source, the root of wonder, The home of all we think is dead.

For every end is the seed’s beginning, Death a door, and fear, our guide. We honor life by knowing darkness, By seeing the other, the other side.

So on this night when veils grow thinner, Let us hold death as our kin, And in its heart, the pulse of life-beat, The power to shed, transform, begin.

Embrace the shadows, honor endings, Take the gift of Samhain’s might. Let darkness heal and show its wisdom, For in its depths grows our true light.

Indigenous people around the world have a deep spiritual connection to the land, understanding how to respect and listen to her. In contrast, the top echelon of people today—the wealthy and powerful—often show no regard for nature, exploiting it for political and financial gain.

The media, which should be bringing these critical issues to light, tends to focus instead on narratives they’re directed to cover, often surrounding war or threats of conflict. These stories ultimately serve the interests of the elite, whose actions often run counter to environmental sustainability and respect for our Earth.

It may not be until these global players themselves feel the impact of nature’s power that they’ll recognize the consequences of their actions. When that realization comes, they might finally urge the media to report on environmental issues, inspiring the public to reconnect with the land and foster change. However, the question remains: will it be too late? By then, will humanity have harmed the Earth so profoundly that there is no longer time to restore it to a sustainable state?

Housing Economics

30/12/2023

0 Comments

 
​In the multifaceted world of housing economics, the high cost of renting a home is a major challenge for many people's finances. Imagine a change where rental prices were cut in half, allowing hardworking people to save more money for a down payment on a house. This forward-thinking approach would aim to level the playing field and make homeownership more achievable.
By giving priority to those who work hard for the country, we create an environment where owning a home is within reach. At the same time, we can consider those who rely on social welfare, and ensuring they have a fair chance in the housing queue, without neglecting the struggles of those hard-workers who pay rent.
In this suggested solution, harmony can be found – addressing the housing crisis by balancing affordability, hard work, and social responsibility.
As we move towards a more equitable housing situation, the dream of owning a home would become a tangible reality for those striving to make ends meet.

'Tis little good the herb will do if you don't know the verse...

30/12/2023

1 Comment

 
Nestled between sodden hills and meandering streams of Maree, there lived an old herbalist named Awen. He was renowned for his vast knowledge of herbs and their mystical properties, particularly a sacred herb known as ‘evils Claw.
‘evils Claw was said to possess magical healing properties, but its true potential could only be unlocked if one knew the ancient prayer that accompanied its usage. Legends spoke of a rhyme passed down through generations, a secret incantation that, when recited with utmost sincerity, would amplify the herb's healing powers.
One day, a young local fell ill with a mysterious sickness. Despite Awen's extensive knowledge, he couldn't identify the root cause of his sickness. Desperate to help he decided to use the legendary ‘evils Claw.
Awen gathered the herb from his hidden garden and prepared a potion with great care. However, as he held the concoction in his hands, he realized he had forgotten the sacred verse that would unleash ‘evils Claw's true potential. Panic set in as he desperately searched through his ancient herbal research, but the verse eluded him.
Determined not to give up, Awen decided to embark on a journey to seek guidance from his parents, the Elders of the Whispering Woods, Ele & An who were recluses and whom had thought him the magic of herbalism – they were sure to hold the ancient verses of forgotten herbs.
The journey was long but after days of travel, Awen reached the heart of the Whispering Woods. The wise Sages, listened intently to his plight. With a knowing smile, the Sages shared the long-forgotten verse for the ‘evils Claw herb. Awen memorized every word and rushed back to Maree, hope rekindled in his heart.
Upon his return, Awen recited the verse with unwavering belief, and the ‘evils Claw worked its magic. The man's illness began to subside, and the townland marveled at the miraculous healing brought forth by the ancient herb and the power of the sacred verse.
From that day forward, the people of Maree held the ‘evils Claw and its accompanying prayer in the highest regard. They learned that sometimes, the true magic of nature lies not only in the herbs themselves but in the wisdom and faith with which they are wielded.
And so, the tale of Awen and the ‘evils Claw herb became a cherished story, passed down through the generations of Maree, a reminder of the importance of both knowledge and belief in the enchanting world of herbs and magic.

Pat-riot-ism unquestioningly

19/12/2023

Why do many individuals
unquestioningly
attend their governments' call to war?
What motivates this behaviour?
Is it a genuine desire to harm others?
Despite being a generally civilized nation,
How can people rationalise
taking another's life in the context of war?
What triggers this acceptance?
Patriotism.
While people may criticise most
aspects of society,
Mentioning our nation
and the fight for freedom -
Will transform them into
fanatical supporters of violence.
As says William Wallace: Aye, fight and you may die. Run, and you'll live... at least a while. And dying in your beds, many years from now, would you be willin' to trade ALL the days, from this day to that, for one chance, just one chance, to come back here and tell our enemies that they may take our lives, but they'll never take... OUR FREEDOM!

Seekers Citizens Support

14/12/2023

When discussing asylum seekers,
the frustration
and
violence
from
our patriotic population
stem
not from a dislike or unwillingness
to
support these individuals.
Instead,
it often arises
due
to the awareness
that
our own homeless citizens,
struggling on the brink,
have
never received
Comparable support.
The resentment intensifies
when
it's obvious
that the government
has the capacity
to aid both groups
but
hasn't prioritized assistance
for
our own citizens
who have
long been in need.

Essence Within

I wait,
still,

My essence
dissolves,

Merging
with my core,

Retracting within.
Excitement
bubbles,

Gurgles
Echo,

Within the gut wall,
Seeking
harmony,

In the delicate biome
Of my inner world,
Yet,
My external kingdom,
Invaded
by the internal voice,

High above the gut,
Devours
the peace,

I long for.

Sport Transforms

At the heart of every athlete
Lies a love affair –
With the sport,
With oneself.

It's the kind of love
That transforms
The pain of training
Into a rhythmic heartbeat,
A pulse
That fuels
The desire
To
Push boundaries
And transcend
Limitations.

It's in the quiet hours
Of the early mornings
And the solitude of personal bests,
The essence
Of self-love
Intertwines
With the very Spirit
Of athletic achievement.

More Dreams

6/12/2023

​In a world that's
Very demanding,
Time slips away,
They claim there is no standing.
 
No time in their day.
Up early, they say,
Working tirelessly,
As time ticks away.
 
Priorities set,
Kids come first, they declare!
No room for pursuits,
No time to spare.
 
Encouragement misperceived
A mistaken glare.
Perhaps it is their thoughts
That need repair.
 
Some were born with silver spoons,
It is true,
Given much, however,
Nothing they do.
 
Acknowledging privilege,
Those seek to repeat,
Striving for more,
For their families bequest.
 
Others from
A working class view,
Understanding the meaning of grit,
They grew.
 
So many face struggles,
Dreams tightly in hand,
Yet find the time,
In lives shifting sand.
 
Driven by purpose,
A drive that is grand,
They embrace their dreams,
A courageous stand.

Coffee Tales

'round the table we gather,
Sipping coffee,
Laughter.
Conversations dance,
like leaves in the breeze,
‘bout weather and tales,
with such gentle ease.
We sit,
pretending to be the upright,
Dictating solutions,
with our coffee in sight.
Let's ponder the privilege,
that cup in our hand,
While others, in turmoil,
can scarcely stand.

Hearts of Circumstance

​In the quiet chambers of their tender hearts,
they stand like sponges,
ready to absorb the hues of the world
painted by the hands
of those that subjugate them.
Little did they ask
for the burden of these emotions.
The heavy cloak of discord
threaded into the fabric of their upbringing.
What did they do
to deserve these atrocities
that are shaping the minute world
of their very existence?
Their spirits, like delicate vessels,
having to navigate the turbulent seas
of ancestral storms.
Yet, within them,
a flame relentlessly flickers.
A soul yearning for its own destiny.
Amidst the shadows of hurt and disharmony,
there lies a mystery -
Through the fractured pieces
of their upbringing,
their soul, like a relentless phoenix,
will rise from the ashes of adversity.
Resilient and untamed,
it has its own destiny –
and with faith they can rise above
the haunting shadows of their past.
Illuminated by the grace from within,
these children
will escape this time
​of horrific circumstance
and become architects of their own histories.
I hope they find the strength to transform,
the regime of this time,
and guide us on a path of truth and peace.
