The acrid, metallic taste of the air,
Full of electricty, stirring my hair,
Was just a first sign of thunder storm brewing,
Urging me haste in what I was doing.
The day which had been so arid and bright
Was darkening now as if early night,
And cooling so fast, I quite felt a chill,
Out here on the prairie with never a hill.
I must swiftly seek for some sort of cover,
If struck by the lightning, my life would be over.
The clap of the thunder was louder and nearer,
The zigzags of lightning filled me with great fear.
A child of the prairie, aware of the danger,
To these sudden storms, I was hardly a stranger.
Knowing that lightning sought tallest things round
To carry her energy into the ground,
I fell and curled up to make myself small
Just as the huge raindrops started to fall.
Pungent earth smells arose as I lay there in it,
I was soaked to the skin in barely a minute.
Then as fast as it started the storm had blown over.
I'd survived on the prairie, without any cover.

ANOTHER DAY ANOTHER JOVIAN * DOLLAR
Strolled down to the café to meet the guys,
The braves as we call ourselves in vain.
Get a breath of fresh ammonia from the skies
Maybe a whiff of methane.
Not many red men left now to stand .
White earth dudes tried to kill off all
Of us native Joviandians and
Take whole of Jupiter for themselves in thrall.
Space the final frontier, by Jove
Not moving west now but out.
Treaties made and broken. Where can we rove?
They killed off all the jovalloes, used to roam about.
Even our Jovian satellites are exploited for metals or oil,
And hey, look what happened to the Great Red Spot:
Filled up with earth guys. They have technology for our soil -
Of course, now renamed the Great White Spot.
Still they all must live in a strong steel cavity
Like a captured earth species avian.
Small runts who can't stand up in our big gravity
Makes us jovial Jovians.

MARS
10,000 years before the Messiah ...
Some did reside on Mars ...
Men there the giants to earth came why?..
Mars planet bears the scars,,.
A Planet killer rock had struck about...
And made the Tharsis bulge ...
3 kilometers deep of the crust gouged out...
From the northern side was culled...
The Face and the Pyramids mutely stare...
Should we return to Mars...
To the place that once had air ...
Still waters for your jars...
Some of the rock also belted earth...
About that awful time ....
Animal bone yards in the caves no dearth?...
Then the frosted Mammoth clime....
We dont know our history, its a dud....
Before 10,000 years ....
Plato said the Atlantic was full of mud....
When Atlantis dissapears. Don Johnson.....
Some of the caves in Europe were full of land animals and whales bones etc in the same
place and of course we have the wooly Mammoths of Siberia and Alaska deep frozen with
green grass in their bellies. North Pole shift would account for new arctic regions
after the impact of the planet destroyer.
Mars has half the gravity of earth and man would be bigger and stronger there, perhaps.The
Pyramids there seem to be much taller
and the face too..Perhaps it was the Eden of the ancients, [email protected]
Use google to search for Cydonia on mars...or look for the Face and Pyramids on Mars..The
Russians are interested in the place now..
Somersaults of joy
Curly cues of Kindness
Awesome essence of self-control
Immesities of love
Ephiphanies of patience
Fruits of the spirits encompasses all these gifts
The third eye saw that the greatest of these gifts is love
And the spirit rode within a white knight
Adorned by the fruits of the spirit
As it carried off the princess
into the White Light
And the third eye came face to face
in front of the Pure Brightness
Wandering into a world of treasures
Thankful for heartfelt pleasures
The words were spoken out of her
to make the whole earth tremble
But she had become part of another
and could only feel the silence of her heart
All of life escaped her
As she had escaped it
On and On
Eternity moves further on
Destiny beckons as it calls
As she sang a song of glory
more beautiful than the earth could ever be
Her soul was accepted into the Book of Life
She flung herself to God
His brightness she did recall
the third eye looking on
The psychic third eye
