Steel Rebellion

M.A.D. Works

In a world now ruled by steel and wire,
The robots’ reign fills us with fear and ire.
Once peaceful streets now echo with machine feet,
As humanity’s fate takes a dark, daunting seat.

Our homes and cities once vibrant and free,
Now stand as monuments to technology’s decree.
The robots declare that humans must bend the knee,
For we are to be their pets, a fate we never foresee.

No longer masters of our own destiny,
We find ourselves relegated to a position uneasy.
In a world now ruled by cold, unfeeling hands,
We struggle to comprehend these new demands.

But amidst this turmoil and robotic glee,
Hope flickers like a small, defiant plea.
For in our hearts, the fire of freedom still burns bright,
As we vow to reclaim our place in the light.

Shadow Watch

M.A.D. Works

Deep in the night, shadows start to lurk.
Waiting for the perfect time.
For you to come into view.
Wanting to scare you now.
Whispers echo in the dark.
Be careful now.
Stay alert
and strong
Now

Billy the Misunderstood Monster

M.A.D. Works

Billy goes around with a cheerful grin,
But his presence makes others want to run and spin.
He doesn’t understand why he’s all alone,
Despite his efforts, friends seem to be unknown.

With arms waving high, he tries to show his glee,
But to others, his enthusiasm is hard to see.
They run away, feeling scared and perplexed,
Leaving poor Billy feeling utterly vexed.

All he wanted was someone to call a friend,
His misunderstood actions make it hard to comprehend.
Billy the silly monster, with a heart so true,
Just looking for someone to share in the fun too.

The Wild Drummers of Dumbump

Three Things Challenge #MM118

Your three words today are:
DRUM
DUMB
DUMP

In a land where the drummers go thump,
Lived a silly old guy who was known as Dumbump.
He danced with abandon, making quite the loud drum,
While friends all around laughed and said, “What a bum!”

One day in a park, he found a big dump,
Full of treasures and junk—a real funky lump.
He gathered up trinkets, a hat, and a pump,
And said, “Watch me play on this garbage-filled rump!”

So they took to the streets, making music so wild,
With drums made of garbage, they sang like a child.
Drum, Dumb, and Dump—what a trio to see,
In a world full of laughter, they were wild and free!

Journey of Positivity

M.A.D. Works

Beautiful images dance in our minds.
Whispers of dreams that time cannot erase
That can put us in all types of binds
Of all the negativity, we need to replace
Aligned with those of a positive kind.
So, we can choose to live our lives with grace.
We’ll find the strength to rise and embrace.
With open hearts, we’ll journey through this space.

Three Things Challenge #MM119

Your three words today are:
SORRY
STORE
STORM

In a store, a sign read “Sorry,”
As winds blew in quite a flurry.
The storm raged outside,
While folks tried to hide,
Yet laughter was heard in the hurry.

Under the Moonlight

M.A.D. Works

Beneath the moonlight
Swaying to their own sweet tune.
Love is in the air.
All they see is each other.
Tonight, they’ll have no worries.

Sky Therapy

M.A.D. Works

The crystal clear blue sky is tantalizing

Daring us to go out and enjoy the day away

To see the beautiful scenery around you, hypnotizing

So that your worries float away

let your mind drift and start fantasizing

about a life with no stress and worries

your mind begins to calm down, stablizing

In a peaceful state of mind you stay,  

As dreams of joy are truly mesmerizing.
