Nesting and fabrication might lead to
the breakthrough most wish to
achieve.
It's much more than a marvel:
and less
speculative
then other could believe.
Confinements properties,Chheaper
and more frequent reproductive cycles.
Fields of fusion science and it's
challenges
will meet the must achieve status
The positronic net a field of
sophisticated sentiencing.
Comutationing and figurance.
Generative design.

often times we shall miss it
due to undying drive for speed
quick answers what we solicit
the right questions what we need
there is plenty of good advice
to be found in books we read
wisdom gained at so little price
from wise people we should heed
be it Dao, Christ or Ghandi
all had the same basic notion
always keep the truth handy
subjectify your emotions
try harder to treat others
as we hope to be treated
like true sisters and brothers
not those we want defeated
Archimedes led the way
useful knowledge seek
work toward a better day
don’t be an antique
bathtub heals
rubber duck
olive soap
buoyant plug
backside sore
Eureka
science hurts
hit his head

How many nights
you
remained awake for me?
If
not shed tears whole night,
how can you think to come to love me?
~x~
If I could breathe back life into one
Archimedes would have to be the one
And not just for fun.
Inventors to fill a need is what we need
Not ones that serve no need except greed.
Archimedes once re-acclimatised could yet fit the bill
If we give him a pill so he is not yet over the hill
His inventions though blasts from the past
Still apply to today's class.
Every time I turn a screw I think of him anew.
Filling a bath I cross his path.
Shifting a rock with a lever makes me a believer
That Archimedes could yet come back in favour.
Problem solving was his game
I am sure he could still put some current inventors to shame.
For which we are all to blame
For not telling them what we need
And letting them invent for no need.
Maybe that is why we have no modern day Archimedes,
To meet our needs.
To reinstate the original I see as the only way
If we want to save the day.
To avoid any glitch, I will steer him clear of the rich,
So they can not get first pitch.
It may not yet be too late,
If we bring him back to this date,
Our problems to relate
And ask him to invent to suit our need with all speed
To save our planet from our greed.
Oh Syracuse, Syracuse,
A bright star born to you.
This genius of three was touched by a muse.
Pi, levers, bringing a king great mirth;
With his brilliance this man moved the earth.
Oh goddess of the moon,
Indelible event!
Your festival doth give cause to swoon.
Circles, a shadow, slain dead in the sand;
A horror to mask even an enemy's land.
My heart is beating once again!
Call Archimedes from his grave so we may celebrate!
Eureka! I found it again!
My heart’s pain has gone away!
My life’s darkness has lifted away!
Stark in the middle of the wilderness I have regained the way!
Oh! How beautiful it is to see and feel me back on my way!
Eureka! I found it again!
Call Archimedes from his grave so we may celebrate again!
Writing literature in my dreams,
While praying for success in my sleep!
Writing poems in my head while strolling ahead!
Painting masterpieces in my head while bathing at midday!
Seeing tomorrow today while it’s still too much work away!
Oh! How beautiful it is to see and feel me back on my way!
Archimedes Fish
Archimedes
To whom mathematics seemed a breeze.
Had fish needing an aquarium.
But he invented a planetarium.
