Dry Well

 

 "Dry Well" - Bahamas AI Art

This poem explores the theme of taking things for granted, only realizing their true value when they’re lost. The dry well serves as a metaphor for love, relationships, time, and life's blessings that we often assume will always be there—until they’re gone.

 

 Dry Well

Once, the well was brimming high,
A mirror of the endless sky,
Cool as dusk and deep as time,
A silver thread, a whispered rhyme.

It quenched the lips of those who came,
It knew no thirst, it knew no shame,
A quiet giver, strong, unseen,
A steady hand in fields of green.

Its waters lapped at careless hands,
Soft as silk upon the sands,
Taken freely, day by day,
Never thought to drift away.

Don't Stop Now

When the road is rough and the skies turn gray,
When your strength feels gone and hope drifts away,
When the weight of the world bears down on your back,
And the courage you carried starts showing a crack—
Don't stop now.

When the voices of doubt whisper close to your ear,
Telling you failure is all that is near,
When the path twists sharp and the climb feels steep,
And the summit above seems impossibly deep—
Don't stop now.

For the storms will pass and the winds will die,
The clouds will break to reveal the sky.
Every stumble, each scar, each tear that you weep,
Is proof of the battles you dared to keep.
Don't stop now.

No More Jobs

The dawn has broken, but the light is cold,
A future written in silver and gold—
Not for the hands that used to toil and sweat,
But for the machines we now won't forget.
They stand in silence, waiting for command,
To build, to serve, to make life more grand.
No need for wages, no hope for rest,
In their perfect gears, our dreams are suppressed.

Once there were factories, crowded and loud,
Where men and women stood proud, unbowed,
Working to build the things we desire,
With sweat on their brows and hearts full of fire.
But now there’s a hum where voices once soared,
Where work was a struggle, now it’s ignored.
For the robots are here, and they don't ask why—
They do the labor, we say goodbye.

No more jobs, not for you or for me,
The robots have come, and they’ve set us free.
They don’t need a salary, don’t need a raise,
No union to join, no endless delays.
They clock in at dawn, and they clock out at night,
But they never sleep, and they never take flight.
A thousand tasks, they’ll master them all,
No human could answer, no human could call.

Don't Do Stupid Shit

 

 "Don't" - Bahamas AI Art

A poem about  poor decisions and risky behaviour.

 

 

Don't Do Stupid Shit

The world is vast, the road is long,
So walk it wise, don’t get it wrong.
Life’s a test, a fragile thread,
One bad move, you wind up dead.

Think before you jump, my friend,
Not every risk will meet its end
With glory, riches, or a prize—
Some roads lead straight to your demise.

Don’t text and drive, don’t taunt the bear,
Don’t scale a cliff without a care.
Don’t chug a bottle just for show,
Liver’s fragile—now you know.

Make Way for the Youth

Make Way for the Youth

The river flows, the seasons turn,
The stars still shine, the fires burn.
Time does not pause, nor does it wait,
For all must yield to changing fate.
The aged hands that built the way,
Have shaped the world we see today.
But wisdom speaks, so clear, so true:
Make way, make way, the youth are due!

The elders stood, both wise and strong,
They fought for justice, righted wrongs.
Their voices echoed through the years,
Their strength dissolved so many fears.
But time moves on, the wheel must spin,
New voices rise, fresh minds begin.
The knowledge passed, the lessons taught,
Shall not be wasted, nor be forgot.

Train them well, those eager minds,
Sharpened keen like tempered knives.
For they shall carve a future bright,
A dawn of hope, a guiding light.
Do not withhold what they must know,
Lend them the tools to thrive and grow.
Give them wisdom, give them trust,
For lead they will, and lead they must.

Give It Your All

Stand tall, be bold, don’t cower in fright,
The road to success is lit by your light.
Ambition burns bright, a fire untamed,
A beacon of hope, unshaken, unnamed.

Aspiration whispers, a call from the deep,
Dreams that are yours and yours to keep.
No mountain too high, no ocean too wide,
When courage and heart are your trusted guide.

Motivation fuels the steps that you take,
A force unrelenting, a thirst you can't fake.
Set forth your goals, define your aims,
With steady resolve, through trials and flames.

Honesty is Still the Best Policy

In a world of masks and shifting shade,
Where truths grow thin, and trust may fade,
A golden thread through time remains—
Honesty, pure, through joys and pains.

It stands unshaken, firm, and bright,
A beacon cutting through the night.
No varnished tale, nor silvered lie
Can match the worth it holds, so high.
