Notes About The Poem

The Several Mysteries of Stanley Meyer

A
man who
wanted to
invent things, he
claimed he had made a
car that ran on water!
Said to be bribed and threatened
by Big Oil, he was deemed a fraud
when he refused to let the court test
his creation. Did no one see it work?

This is but one of the mysteries that 
surrounds Stanley, who died after he
sipped some juice at a restaurant.
He gripped his throat and said that
he’d been poisoned, but this
was not proved. Why? Was
he gas-lighted?
Or was he
conning
US??

Michael Tor June 30, 2022 at 7:42 PM True story and Stanley proved it could work. He didnt let the court test his creation because he did not want them to steal his invention same reason he didnt file a patent. I believe without a doubt he was murdered. Love this piece Andrea.

Joe Maverick June 15, 2022 at 3:04 PM Hello Andrea, 1st off thank you for supporting My contest.' A worthy 2nd place along With Priya, who I think must have studied up On what I think is not A familiar genre or Setting for her.' (Maybe I'm wrong?) Just my thoughts.'

Bill Baker June 14, 2022 at 3:34 PM We'll never know, but the poem was a delight. Thanks for sharing it with us, Andrea. Hugs, Bill

Sotto Poet June 9, 2022 at 12:47 PM It's such a shame that those who wield the power don't want to negotiate with people who aren't driven by profit. While I'm on a cruise to Alaska, there's a chance that my internet connection will be spotty, and might not be able to comment on your work

John Lawless June 9, 2022 at 10:47 AM Poetically powerful, historically questionable, ..... a winner in my book Andrea.

Kim Rodrigues June 9, 2022 at 6:20 AM The love of money, power and pleasure - a target on many a back. Even when Jesus showed up, the fear of the elite caused them to incite riot and kill the Son of God.

Vijay Pandit June 9, 2022 at 6:07 AM Anything is possible in the world of greed--I didn't know anything about this inventor. Thank you for the info, Andrea.

Connie Marcum Wong June 9, 2022 at 5:46 AM Those with the power don’t want to deal with those who are not after greed, so sad. Blessings xxoo

Sara Kendrick June 9, 2022 at 4:27 AM Reads like a winner to me. I guess you might say he was thinking outside the box. Of course, locomotives ran on steam, but it took a lot of hot coal to make the steam. Water damned up can be used to make electricity, a water wheel to grind corn and wheat, and many other things. Way to go. Thanks for the visit to my page. Sara

Harry Horsman June 8, 2022 at 11:19 PM No not a con, Big business has destroyed many a useful invention. Dyson the vacuum cleaner man, must had known a thing or too, about this sort of carry on, he resigned from his job, having worked in the industry, when inventing the bagless machine that has made him b/millions. Joe Maverick June 13, 2022 at 2:04 PM If any are interested you can look up yamagata hydro engine Project, as late as this year I think.? So that to me means he was ahead of them, with a viable project at least.' Andrea Dietrich June 9, 2022 at 12:55 PM thanks so much for saying that. It makes me tend to think he really did invent this car. There ARE actually cancer cures too and Big Pharma shot them down (Essiac tea for one was shot down in Canada when prior to 1976, it was labeled as a cure for some cancers). Therefore, I do not support these cancer research places. They are only trying to get money from us when all along, we can find some good natural cures which sadly are not covered by insurance. What a damn world.

Sam Kauffman June 8, 2022 at 10:44 AM Well done - well stated Andrea. Great questions with answers out in the ether only to be answered on the other side of life. Best wishes for the contest.

L Milton Hankins June 8, 2022 at 8:50 AM Andrea, you raise valid questions that have always surrounded the claims of Stanley Meyer. Common sense tells me that if there was an engine that could run on water, nothing could stand in the way of its development and use. I put Meyer in there with other wackamamie conspiracy theories I read about. Good Etheree, my friend. Joe Maverick June 13, 2022 at 2:10 PM Look with all respect my father was a freemason.) Until he at last accepted Christ, and up till then he always Made it pay.' You don't know The half of it.' Andrea Dietrich June 8, 2022 at 3:51 PM Milton, it's not necessarily true that the car didn't work. I know of a company with a very healthful product and the drug companies tried to bribe them with millions of dollars not to sell it to people. I used it and it was very beneficial for what my problem was. It's always possible that he was severely threatened. Some conspiracies ARE true!

Tom Cunningham June 8, 2022 at 7:16 AM Any invention that would cost the big companies money is ridiculed until it fades away. Hope your week is going well Andrea. Tom Andrea Dietrich June 8, 2022 at 3:52 PM I have heard of a very important invention that this happened to, all kept from us for the greed of the elite.
