Ricardo Walcott – Author Biography
Ricardo Walcott is a philosopher, poet and author whose work stands at the intersection of philosophy, literature and the enduring search for human meaning. A graduate of Philosophy from the University of Liverpool, England, he has dedicated much of his intellectual and creative life exploring the fundamental questions that have challenged humanity across the centuries: Who are we? Why are we here? What constitutes a life well lived?
Living in High Wycombe, England, Ricardo brings together rigorous philosophical inquiry and poetic expression, creating a distinctive voice that is both intellectually engaging and deeply reflective. His writings draw inspiration from the great philosophical traditions while addressing the moral, spiritual and existential challenges of the modern age.
As the author of The Philosopher of the 21st Century, his poetry invites readers into a thoughtful examination of contemporary life, encouraging them to look beyond the distractions of the present moment and engage with the deeper realities that shape human existence. His work explores themes of truth, consciousness, freedom, justice, spirituality and personal transformation, presenting complex ideas in a manner that is accessible, compelling and relevant to everyday life.
Ricardo believes that philosophy should not be confined to academic institutions but should serve as a practical guide for navigating the complexities of the human experience. Through his poetry and prose, he seeks to revive the ancient tradition of philosophy as a way of life—one that encourages self-knowledge, critical thinking, compassion and wisdom.
Combining the contemplative depth of a philosopher with the creative sensitivity of a poet, Ricardo has emerged as a thoughtful voice in contemporary literature. His work challenges readers not merely to think differently, but to live more consciously, question more deeply and pursue a richer understanding of themselves and the world around them.
For Ricardo, philosophy is not simply an academic discipline—it is an ongoing journey toward truth, meaning and human flourishing. Through his writing, he continues to inspire readers to embark on that journey for themselves.
Love I am again
Three hundred and sixty degrees and here I am again.
Returning to a point in time that does not exist. Insane!
Familiarizing myself with metaphysical vibes I felt once before…
I accept my fate and make a date to create on this tour.
Like a ripple that becomes a wave or seed to bloom.
Unfolding spontaneously, an entity playing a cosmic tune.
A bastion of truthful living and altruistic giving.
Came from above, unconditional love ever forgiving.
Gifted and via sifted glands, I am a being that can.
Characterized by the third eye I rise as a higher man.
No show boating, no glow thing, know meaning.
Instant realization of the one, uplifting.
I crave what is ignored.
The supreme reality calls out to the pure.
Flickering into consciousness I never rest.
To rest is to cease to exist, to fail this test.
Therefore, I ride the eternal vibe to where it can take me.
Like the river I flow towards the source, immortality.
Forgiveness and Love
If you cannot express love, you won’t grow naturally.
If you harden your heart, there will be no unity.
Expand your consciousness, you will reach a higher level.
If you want God’s love, don’t worship the devil.
Do not waste this opportunity, experience the vibe.
Tune in to the hearts of others, don't hide.
We are special individuals, all from the same source.
Open up your soul and feel the force.
Equal means equal, no one is better than you.
Life is your reward, but you must always stay true.
Realize the journey begins from the heart.
If you are ready for change then make a start.
The adventure you seek commences right now.
The truth you shall find, make that vow.
While on your quest do not forget to smile.
Travel in harmony for an eternity of miles.
A Cat’s Life
The cat rules with their laid-back attitude.
Return home for some love and a bowl of food.
Then out with the lads to play in the night.
Affairs with the neighbour’s cat and a territorial fight.
No lead for your collar, go where you want.
Patrolling the area, looking for a mouse to hunt.
A nice little cat flap so you can stroll in.
You love your life, strutting around like a king.
When the sun is out you just lay back.
Carrying the title of the coolest cat.
Demanding attention when it suits you.
When you relax you find the best view.
Fooling the dogs with your cunning ways.
Staring hypnotically with an evil gaze.
Cats have the run of the land.
More freedom than the modern man.
The Plan
Mental images manifested through matter materially.
Motion moving mysteriously, magically motivating movement.
Observing orbs in the air, I stare without care.
Inspired to invent individual innovations, creations, atomic revelations.
Society sighs seriously suppressing their special selves.
Turning against one’s true psyche, highly unlikely to evolve naturally.
People present proposals, perplexing physical properties.
Philosophizing, fantasizing, mesmerizing, puzzling policies.
Instant ideas injected into the atmosphere, illuminating.
Stating their solutions, soothing the sceptics soulfully.
Awaking the sleeping souls, sending signals secretly.
Indiscreetly subtly sparkling the senses inspiringly.
A single entity playing with immortality.
Emerging in images, immensely igniting my individuality.
Investigating, no hesitating, purely contemplating, elevating.
Entertaining theories and concepts that cause a threat to my intellect.
I accept life's tests, play it like chess, never digress
from the truth, if you want proof, investigate your inner self.
Listen to the lyrical lessons it leaves you, feeds you.
Uplifts your essence, communicates via common sense.
The inner workings of man, hard to understand the plan.
Creation of a nation from a seed, sends a shiver
throughout my whole being, spiritual sights I am conceiving.
On this unusual evening seeing is believing, the beauty is never ending.
Inner core
The truth hurts so deal with the pain.
Ignorance is bliss, but what do you gain?
Rise up from the ground and look after yourself.
Never be afraid to ask for help.
Nobody is perfect, nobody wants to be.
This is so change evolves naturally.
We cannot stop the wheel of fate.
We will never progress if we still deal in hate.
Petty squabbles everywhere, how immature.
Can’t we come together and end this war?
Banging our heads against walls for so long now.
Getting along together, do we know how?
My inner core burns with a passion.
Love to share like it’s going out of fashion.
Never been afraid to show my emotions.
A window to the world shows too much commotion.
I am qualified in the art of enjoyment.
Nothing can stop me, no matter how high the rent.
My soul has been around before money hit the scene.
Now it seems the world is controlled by a machine.
