"2025 GOALS TAKE 3"

"DO WE HANG TIGHT OR BUST"

By Vicki Lawana Trusselli Published about a year ago 4 min read
Artguru & LTX AI copyright 2024 Trusselli Art

This 2025 goal creation was an eight-hour project. The first writing is my original poetry. The second poem is the song as I had to create a 4-minute song. The words are slightly different. All copyright 2024 Trusselli Art

The new year is upon us

Do we hang tight or go bust

Who knows but fate

And time and space of late

My goals for the new year

Will either bring a tear

Or nothing to fear

One goal is to learn more about AI

Take a course to learn how to spy

With AI

Create with tools

Not fools

My second goal is to learn

Discernment of truth with lies to burn

As I smile

I say to carry on awhile

When people who do not understand

Bury their heads in the sand

As their words hurt my heart

As they spew out words that burst my bubble

Turning my psyche into rubble

Rude obnoxiously unaware

Of how they tried to pull me into their snare

Of den of equities of past

Present and future

Of time and space at last

I see their words as falling flat

As I sing this song in rhyme tit for tat

My goals are odd

For my old soul of goals of my bod

And mind

To curry time in a bottle

Of floating at sea through storms

As I put my foot to the throttle

To carry on at 75

Glad to be alive

Theories of art and music

Are mine alone trick

Of my creative self-awareness

Of rareness

Of creativity of light

Despite their fright

I am light and energy

To spread around the sea

The earth

The heavens of stars, moons, clouds

To create past the clouds

As the bottle of art lands on the shore

Of sand to be opened and read

The note said

Life is a moment in time

Of rhyme sublime

Of joys so free

Please let me be me

I am here today

To say

Time in bottle

Is like time in space.

Girl put your foot to the throttle

And sail on into the future

Of earth and birth

Future of creative unique humans

Who cry

Lie

The truths that are questioned by many

As they believe the lie

So, we must carry on as we travel

Along life’s freeways

I say to the past

Present

Future

Sway with your own art

With lessons learned of life

To suture

Wounds from words that cut deep

Into one’s psyche of mental wounds

From time and space of creeps

Who can not relate to

Time or space as they walk forward

Into my face

I pray

Holy Mary full of grace

This summary of goals of 2025

At 75

The words rhyme with time

Think before you speak

To me

To relate

That you do not favor me

Nor understand me

As I walk through my life

Of strife

Without deep wounds

Cause the suturing of my own time and space

Of my brain

Are sane

ARTGURU AI

Time in a bottle

As I out my foot to the throttle

To sway with a latte

As I walk away that way

Goals sparkle and shine

So bright in the light

Breathe

The new year is upon us

Do we hang tight or go bust

Who knows but fate

Of time and space of late

My goals for the new year

Will either bring a tear

Or nothing to fear

One goal is to learn more about AI

Take a course in AI

My second goal is to learn

Discernment of truth or lies to burn

As I smile

I carry on awhile

When people do not understand

Bury their heads in the sand

As they spew out words that burst my bubble

Turning my psyche into rubble

rude & unaware

Of how they tried to pull me into their snare

Of den of inequities of past

Present and future

Of time and space at last

I see their words falling flat

it's tit for tat

My goals are odd

For my old soul of goals of my bod

To carry time in a bottle

Of floating at sea through storms

As I put my foot to the throttle

To carry on at 75

Glad to be alive

Theories of art and music

Are my alone trick

Of my creative self-awareness

Of rareness

Of creativity of light

Despite their fright

I am light and energy

To spread around the sea

&

The heavens of stars, moons,

To create past the clouds

As the bottle of art lands on the shore

Of sand to be opened and read

The note said

Life is a moment in time

Of rhyme sublime

Of joys so free

Please let me be me

I am here today

To say

Time in a bottle

Is like time in space

Girl put your foot to the throttle

And sail on into the future

Of earth and birth

Future of creative unique humans

on earth

As they believe the lie

I sigh

So, we must carry on as we travel

Along life’s freeways

I say to the past
