So you flew
More then soared
Poured like liquid gold
From the fingers of God
Rose like mists of Heaven
From the mouth of Hell
Now you must plunge
Higher, pushing further
Crushing into the freedom
Of space, a new space
So you can shape change
A world only your Divinity
Could create
Over which you will soar
Like an atmosphere
Through which you are saturated.

Meeting of Meaningless
I got up this morning
And went to the office
To do what I had to do
There they sat me down
And I suddenly found
My morning was munched
By the Meeting of Meaningless
At lunch time I sat
On the park bench I favour
And as I flavoured the savour
I turned to ask you for time
You lowered your paper
Completed the caper as we chattered
Of conventional things
It was a Meeting of Meaningless
That night I got a fright
My mouth cried, eyes wide, I died
I was swallowed dove, heaven's above
In the lolling lull and lilt of all that was lit
In the light of the longed for land
The great Chairperson's voice could be heard
Like a dream, Reiterating and Reconstituting
The Regulations and Rules on the Right and the Wrong
It was another Meeting of Meaningless.

War Memorial Charity for the Civilian Dead
The idea here is to create a charity to put up war memorials for the civilian dead of any war any time. This serves several purposes. Firstly, to help grieving communities feel like they have some closure for their deceased loved ones. This will help prevent similar outbreaks over old grievances. It also serves as a record and reminder for future generations of how devastating war is to their friends and family, how many people are no longer in their world.
It also gives surviving soldiers a chance to bury their dead, which often haunt them for years after the conflict is over. During wars people (particularly soldiers) do and see things (like civilians maimed, tortured, and killed) that can haunt them almost timelessly, leading to suicide, murderous rampages, night horrors, flashbacks, abuse of their own, and other nightmarish side effects. If they can contribute towards a decent memorial for the civilian dead it may ease their pain somewhat. It may even occasionally unify old enemies in a more worthy cause.
Of course, people who would want to contribute to such a charity would be the loved ones of the dead, as well as concerned citizens, peace mongers, the U.N. and anybody who was disturbed by the experience.
The "any war anytime" aspect is that the charity is that they put memorials up wherever a war has occurred regardless of who won and who was on which side. The only requirement to get on the listing of the memorial is that the civilian died due to wartime activity. I also think that it could be placed near war memorials of soldiers of the war, although war mongers might not like that because it will inevitably show that far more civilians died then soldiers.

The Eagleman
The Eagleman said
I could too
So I took the plunge
Into the icy void
The freezing silence
Of falling
To the jagged rocks below
Snapped
As I was lifted
By the mighty pull
Of the wind-blown wings
On my back
The Eagleman said
I could too
And laughed a little
At my pale face
As we flew on in time
It really hurt
Hair and feathers
Ruffled and tangled
Skin a slow scream of ice
Hot blood pumps
Through my joints
Through my head
Sweat singes my eyes
Trickling, tickling
Down my spine
Like my mind's eye
Is crying
And when I thought
"I can't take it anymore"
We reached our destination
Perched on the cliff
Sharing the meat
The Eagleman and I
Laughed into the Moon.

The new expresses the repressed in the old.
You were created in your parent's sexuality of the time. That's only your problem in that you are here now.

The Proof of Einsteins's Last Frontier
Recently, Einstein's Theory was finally proved by years of effort by the space travelling and engineering scientists. The formed a very nearly perfect sphere, which took ages, took it into space and did some tests on it's effect on the space time continuum as a mass, the results proving that yes, Einstein was right mass does bend or pull the space time continuum towards itself. This is very interesting stuff, and I recommend further research (try www.spaceandmotion.com ) or media on the recent events, such as www.newscientist.com for instance.
This is very interesting on a more lateral level, because not only does the mass of our own dear planet bend the space time continuum (made more interesting by the fact that it is moving), but so does every other mass object in space and time in our universe. Stars, galaxies, planets, moons, and dark matter (that will be very relevant in the future).
I am going to supposition here that it lends weight (excuse the pun) to the ideas of the ancient stargazers. If these masses are bending the space time continuum, surely the position of the sun and the moon and the earth in relative relation to each other would influence the effects on our world and ourselves? Maybe also the other planets, light (energy) bent from the solar system and the milky way could also have their effect in due course. Maybe a constellation might not have that strong an effect (theoretically) individually, but the milky way as a whole surely would, and maybe the area of the constellation may have a different hue of influence. It might not be exactly the effect the old world would have indicated (such as a personality disposition or a likelihood of a kind of event), but it would be an effect. Also, other schools of astronomical legends, such as the Australian Aboriginals, concentrate on the dark spaces between the stars, which is an area of a lack of bent space time continuum waves, which could have an effect, even if it is riddled with dark matter.
I might add here that you, as a mass, must be bending the waves of the space time continuum (towards you), whether or not you are still (simple) or moving (complex). Full on, hey! I wonder if living energy of ATP processing (glucose burning, high vibration activity) is effected by the phenomena in an unusual way? If it is, does the neural activity of thought bend (with) the time space continuum?
I wonder if the waves (or vibrations) of the space time continuum effect the waves (or vibrations) of the mass or matter (which is one thing that has mass) it bends towards? What happens if you take the concept to a (super) microscopic or macroscopic level? Does the microscopic mass on mass (no pun intended) interface with macroscopic mass(es)? It is pondersome, and of course needs further research.
