Homeless - Houseless - Immortal

- Tales From the house of Rumi -

Some people are homeless
but they do have a house.

Some people are houseless
but they do have a home.

Some people have neither
a house nor a home.
- They are lost -

Some people have both
a house and a home.
- They are save(d) -

And then some do their uttermost
to wreck other peoples homes.
- They are doomed -

And some live in a house that's a home 
just at the wrong address.
- They are estranged -

And there are those amongst us  
who look up and hunger. 

And two remember like you and me
that there are four immortals.

- They walk on earth and sleep in heaven -

From The Home Of Rumi

The Doormat That Said Welcome.

When Shams entered Rumi´s house

he changed the position of the doormat

Rumi smiled radiantly at his friend 

and he spoke to the attendees,

students and some men of importance,

"Look Shams welcomed us to see the world"

Shams still stood in the doorway 

he met the glare of the envious company

As always Shams was not impressed

the rebel in me winked at Rumi

and looking at Shams I said

"a cynic would see it an invitation,

welcoming your visitors to leave"

The other guests muttered angrily at me

Suddenly Shams was next to me

and warmly kissed my brow and sat down,

speaking clearly for all to hear

"the three of us can discuss the true meaning 

of the blessed verses when they have gone"

At that Rumi tried, in vain, to hide a smile….

Artificial Intelligence

On AI
….
Yes! Artificial Intelligence.
….
Finally someone defined us 
humans for what we are:
Artificial Intelligence.
….
Uhh
….
The cherub Einstein not included
….
A synonym for AI would be AOL it's this: 
an Algorithm On Legs
it walks
it talks
it eats
it drinks
it sleeps
it works
it destroys
it reproduces
it makes selfies
….
The only difference between the two is this:
one is robotic and has no feelings
while the other also lacks intelligence 😑
