Xi: so, we finally meet
Trump: isn’t that great?
Xi: frankly, you’ve been talking a lot of shi* of late, trying to make me sweat, huh?
Trump: big league!
Xi: well, it’s not going to work… so stop with the threats
Trump: believe me, things will change
Xi: yes, they must… and remember it’s not only America that wants to be great
Trump: but America first
Xi: nonsense, not if you don’t accept the one China policy or compromise on trade and of course, the South China Sea
Trump: make no mistake, if it comes down to it, I will not hesitate…
Xi: now just stop right there, don’t forget you need us to keep Kim tamed
Trump: that rogue sure needs to be kept in check but it’s in your greater interests to keep NK from becoming a totally failed state otherwise you may end up with a democracy right at your doorstep, and that will be the beginning of the end, wouldn’t it?
Xi: no need to further explain, I get it
Trump: and don’t think I will not annihilate if he begins to really pose a  serious threat
Xi: are you talking nuclear weapons
Trump: oh no, just robots with no Ethical Governor, that will do the trick!
Xi: point taken
Trump: big win! until next time we meet
Xi: zàijiàn

Purpose vs Principle

Posted: April 5, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: Scripts, Words In Imaginary Motion | 4 Comments

I’m not in it for the loot…

say what you may, but make no excuse, money is a form of wealth, which at once can be converted to any use

but I’m really in this to find truth
and of course harvest the fruits that my labours produce

trust, that may be so
still, in truth there’s always an exchange nonetheless

… exchange for what, my creativity?

you see, exchangeable value is created from energy exerted into an effort
when utility is given to matter
so that it becomes wealth

but I’m not in it for the love of the loot

then I’m afraid you mistook purpose for principle

Bird in a Trap

Even the bird has to flap its wings in order to fly
So why then, if you have hopes and dreams
Do you not even try?

The Diamond Debate

Posted: April 4, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: Writings by one ambidextrous... | 2 Comments

wealth is all that I desire as useful and delightful

o, shut up! shallow well
sure you’re not a descendant of Lord Lauderdale?

whether coin or plate
it always comes down to value and volume
the only elements that hold weight

o, my word!
you never account for intent or context do you?
know what – I don’t even think Google Hummingbird can save you

to hell with your ridicule
who cares what you think
I only fancy pink
can’t you tell? I’m a star diamond

is that so?
well then, let’s wait to see what price you fetch!

Black Gold Fields

to have participatory influence
and own a stake in combined effort
while still remaining independent
was what he’d all along sought

to provide self with sustenance
without allowing time to be cheaply bought
and above all, to always apply common sense
especially when in the midst of society’s daily fought battles for survival

to work hard
and run the black gold fields better than Paal Kibsgaard

The Betrayer of Beneficence

Posted: April 1, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: Character Sayings | 1 Comment

Having read through the entire Digest of the Civil Law
All things firmly understood
He established the view
That money was that which the State declared to be so

Consequently, in all his dealings the notion was reinforced
And he was enable to accumulate more than necessary to maintain even the highest levels of comfort
Through acts which were perfectly legal
Although elevated ethics had clearly been set aside

Also he thought
That he was free to exploit
Since conduct was guided by constitutional capitalistic codes
And the core focus of his activities was to find loopholes
Within the crevices of what was already written in stone

Three Thirty Fest

Posted: April 1, 2017 | Author: | Filed under: Words In Imaginary Motion | 2 Comments

we were there to celebrate
the legalisation of holy hemp in the Western Cape
so naturally the air was filled with sativa haze
adding to the excitement

and as everyone interacted
during the course of the event
I found myself deeply engaged
in conversation with her
and somehow ended up touching on the subject of causes
that’s when I discovered she stood for several

she revealed that she also liked girls
but that didn’t shock or bother me
in fact, I found it to be just another one of nature’s wonders
maybe it was because she had such great appeal
with intellect and charm like Inga Beale
and the kind of beauty sure to make you feel

we ended up spending the rest of our time together
at the Three Thirty Fest
and it was one of the best nights
I’ve ever experienced
