Fb Friends

I read between the lines
The rants of my friends
Life's daily stories
Scriptures
I feel their thoughts
Entangled in posts
Of sweet words
Comforts
I enter their messages
Discovering truths
Their personalities
Me

Colin's Smooth Play Playlist

At the end of this video the play-list will auto continue.

My Solo Abstract

My creation I lay before you
A formulation exposed
My thoughts generated for your eyes.
As I hypothesize your surprise
Reflecting on my theories you say
Pre-structures seem your happiest place

If music is to be the only reason the internet exists then I will be forever happy!

UNFRIENDED (First Draft)

I have a new weapon of sorts
To destroy digital creatures
Across their posts from space
My Unfriend Button I use to Nuke

I have warned these intruders
Passivity is as dangerous as sarcasm
So, death to the avatar too weak
Stupidity, is not a positional post

Thus, here I stand, finger curled to click
Ready to unfriend when threatened
A disappearing puff of digital dust
As I blow into its barrel and snout

Public Temptation

Am I not whom my pen professes to the masses in bytes?
Each kilobit layered chunks epicured from thought of heart?
or
Am I either pen or ink, staring at me in disbelief when
No one but Spitting Thought is my companion during spilling spells?
or
Am I just me, with a special talent to slay a dragon exposed
And know that its gut to online mouths is feed?
or
Alas, am I just me,
the emcee of inspiration?

AFRICAN DOUBTER

We're kept alive by our fear to survive
Our ancient African doubts our drive

Nothing believed from cradle's birth
Where white we grind those fire-dancers' mirth

Our doubts settle on the plains of our minds
Which forever is painted by our coloured blinds

Our heroics to protect ... flame our sparking tongues
Where doubting is needed as the air within our lungs

Global Citizenship

I pledge my allegiance to my internet connectivity
And promise to do my best to pay my fees diligently
My ISP is my church in the world where I preach
A place where my selected friends share their spaces

I promise that I will, at times, pay my penitence above my call
So that I may be blessed in added bytes of blistering speed
And share my thoughts among the dialing comletariat in bits
Displaying my books of Blog and Facebook according to my scripts

I will confess my sins to my family and some friend as if brave
For I have downed that one such item of entertainment craved
Knowing that my repentance will be wiped clean after penitance
Such as giving and receiving by assending torrents left on

I and millions await the greatest coming from heaven
Connectivity by lightning of sorts to quench our thirsts
We are soldiers of the revolutions in our networked paths
As chosen ones we will assend into Heaven to our avatars

We call upon the nay-sayers and their infidel prophets
To join our course or become marginalised to location
Become yee connected to life where LOL will be in your blood
A global citizen with a digital passport to everlasting life.

Arabian Desert Winds

Voices of freedom are echoing in Tunisia
Where the flames of democracy was ignited by a martyr

Tunisians want to be free!

Pyramids of Egypt stand proud in Tahrir Square
Carved into the Dead Sea faces of its people's revolt

Egyptians want to be free!

Last gasps of a Libyan father at a deadly demonstration
While UN bombs avenge his people's aspirations for democracy

Libyans want to be free!

Yemen's civil war is at hand as its dead is infinitely scattered
While tribal fighters converge, democracy waits in tears

Yemenis want to be free!

Syrian legitimacy is at stake by democracy knocking at its door
While mothers dedicate their lives to their slain sons and daughters

Syrians want to be free!

Arab dictators are worried about their hold on power
While desert winds are blowing a paradigm shift their way

Arabs want to be free!

Thinking about Learning

Professional Learning (unedited)

We plod along he education continuum with zest
Our calling a political engagement at best
Where we justify passion as if possessed
Our best intentions in economic sustainability rest

Here where a child of learning borders on boredom
Is nurtured in the latest science of new educational ways
Hoping that the detail of intentions will a better learner make
While their overseers in capitalism's conveyancing partake

Engaging now in industrial aged perceptions of learning
Has yet to see our participating humanity flow
Not following conventions of new curricular at play
There where social control has key competencies as friends

Educators are on the precipice of loosing control
Because learners have access to their fountains
Thus they now educate for social connectedness
As required by our next generation's employable elite.
