Your Mother’s Love Is Lying
Your Mother's Love Is Lying
by Michael Doyle
There is so much assumed as basic fact
And from these, we choose how to react
Accuracy is important from our conception
You'd be surprised at the level of deception
As with these things lending toward ready detection
There is a script that provides strong indication
If a mother is asked, deception can likely result
Should you and I take this as an intended insult?
I don't want to leave you sad and crying
But Coyote AI says your momma is lying
When she says her love for you is true
AI doesn't lie, so maybe please take the clue
The new polygraph is as accurate as 93 percent
One has to wonder at the uses and the intent
Anything we can do, you know a company will do
And this adage is the same truism for me and you
In this dog-eat-dog world of detecting lies
Everyone wrongly assumes the truth is in the eyes
Such wrong insights have created bad decisions
Mostly due to the coin-flip level imprecisions
I don't want to leave you sad and crying
But Coyote AI says your momma is lying
When she says her love for you is true
AI doesn't lie, so maybe, please take the clue
The whole trouble comes down to its complicity
With guilt being mistaken for feeling anxiety
All of our best guesses at this lack of duplication
And become poster children for pseudo-replication
There is no real leakage in the "leakage" in detail
It's the facts that are needed to be close to real
To reach 'alpha' we reach for language clues
It's the best bet we have to dig in or pay our dues
I don't want to leave you sad and crying
But Coyote AI says your momma is lying
When she says her love for you is true
AI doesn't lie, so maybe, please take the clue
Algorithms don't need psychology to reveal lies
There's the dog-ness of the steady gaze of eyes
The theories inform that deception is hard to call
But given time and exposure the best will recall
We flag forward to signal need for future inquiry
But the mistakes made most certainly cause injury
False positives democratize this art of lie detection
Assuring only one sure result, this needs correction
Lying is seen as essential in our social interactions
Absent the lies, privacy would cause the detractions
To outweigh the gains that are given by any device
And this should be avoided, is the sound advice
I don't want to leave you sad and crying
But Coyote AI says your momma is lying
When she says her love for you is true
AI doesn't lie, so maybe, please take the clue

A Prayer For the Unbroken Passage
A Prayer For the Unbroken Passage
by Michael Doyle
Daily prayer helps along our communion
It keeps our path to God in its union
Launched humbly into a daily conversation
It guides us toward our heavenly destination
Jesus brought disciples to see his transfiguration
They had a godly experience beyond exaggeration
Revealing Himself as God's only beloved Son
Bringing the knowledge of how God's will is done
There's work to do before we reach perfection
We are called by God toward this direction
We walk in a fallen world, but we take our heart
Knowing Jesus is with us from our very start
Everything is possible for those who believe
However hard it is as the fallen world deceives
Remember Noah and Moses for what God is about
You'll realize there is no cause to ever doubt
God's name reveals what he can truly do
I Am is the God of everything; He lives in me and you
Self-sufficient, He is universal and eternal
Accomplishing beginning and end, defeating the infernal
Everything is, and all can be completed and done
When we align our will with the ways of the Son
We are to believe but need help to overcome
What we ask, if right, will be done
I Am is the answer to wishes we call
It's best for us to always recall
Our Father is with us all the time
I know this to be true about this God of mine
We are limited by what we ourselves can do
But our God awaits the prayers of me and you
And what we can't do, He can and will
This is the greatest truth we can reveal
We can pray alone or in the midst of community
Praying for the church as if we are God's family
To remain always steadfast in our humility
That in boldness, we'll become all we can be
Pray for the love of our godly family
We pray for strength in marriage and unity
Orphans, widows, and all in our constant reflection
All the children of God know this connection
Pray for all who serve to better our community
They are the servants of our holy family
We lift them up in our holy moments of praise
As upon this world we continue to gaze
In a proclamation of belief, we join hands
To give this love as best that we understand
let us be servants and leaders in all we do
The best of this world begins with me and you
Called by God in our great commission
Let no one slip by in accident or omission
This unconditional low is our greatest gift
God's is the love that heals every rift

Long Gone Phrases (Phases of Yesterday)
Long Gone Phrases (Phases of Yesterday)
by Michael Doyle
I'm not sure where this story should begin
It doesn't matter - the color of your skin
And what you care to believe
Matters not as much as you don't deceive
There are jokes enough to not like all
But it's worth remembering and to recall
That ordinary people are basically the same
Yet, unique, regardless of surname
Of the phrases I'm glad to hear
That have managed to disappear
Maybe the ugliest that I fear
Is that there is no place for you here
Nobody deserves to feel the neglect
All of us need a little honest respect
Especially when we have earned
This right as it should be is easily discerned
It's been all in playing the long game
Learning to choose better and not to blame
It's in learning to think and not just say
That's what's needed to complete our way
Of the phrases I'm glad to hear
That have managed to disappear
Maybe the ugliest that I fear
Is that there is no place for you here
Tribes and types often prefer their own
But that's a slur to which we must atone
We are essentially one and the same kind
This is evident to all but the blind
There's no room for all this ugly hate
No god would ever make his people's fate
In closing the door on what should be
We close the door of the best possible could be
Of the phrases I'm glad to hear
That have managed to disappear
Maybe the ugliest that I fear
Is that there is no place for you here
