Premium Member Project Eden

The crescent moons of the auburn sky
The acid rain clouds dance, purple, by

The air it stings as I respirate
A strange howling noise as the storms berate

This tempestuous land, a million clicks from home
My genes robust; Seventh Generation Clone

As I stand here longing for the ship's repair
To accelerate, under robot's care

For the time is short as the signal's down
Only two more sols. We MUST leave the ground

A hundred brothers and sisters too
We escaped our home as the lucky few

In our AI ships under proton power
Left in final days of the meteor shower

With just enough time to load species galore
Under Ark Project VII, just like Noah, once more.

With hope we can find an Eden like Earth
Only this time we'll treasure, for all she is worth

Gravity

Encapsulated

'Observation earth'

Dreaming of Space

Looking up at the stars at night,
Makes me feel such delight.
But I wonder what's beyond the dark,
That hasn't yet made its mark.

Maybe there are creatures,
Just like you and I.
Or maybe there are bright green aliens,
No one will ever find.

Will they like to go out
and play amongst the rock?
Or will they hate all other life,
And laugh and shout and mock.

For now though we don't know what's there,
That we are yet to see.
I just wish I had a rocket ship,
To take me to my dream.

It holds us in check
Keeps us from floating in space
from this spinning ball.

Cosmic Blue

Shining gold on mellow blue        Melting mass aglow for you       Floating, rolling feel the heat       Melting down the frozen sheet      Big and round, the ants do crawl         Blues and browns surround the ball         Sparkle, shining through the space          White on black do they lace                       Deep inside the rolling mass           Fires of Hell on slicks of oil        Steaming moats beneath the soil        Truly impossible we say to you             Living within the Cosmic Blue

Premium Member End of Days - No Tomorrow

A news flash said there is no tomorrow 
And it fills me with a feeling of dread
A pity that more time we can't borrow
This time tomorrow we will be all dead.

A huge comet has decided our fate
Our family gather to say farewell
We all reflect on our lives as we wait
For mans stupidity has unleashed hell.

Scientists tried to change the orbit
Of this giant comet of rock and ice
Missiles sent into space failed to stop it
Also chose to ignore expert’s advice.

Soon humankind will no longer exist
All vaporised in a flash of white mist.

Cosmic Trip

Pastel skies collide with waves of atmosphere
Through rockets blast on thunderous gaseous fire 
Hurled away from Spring time madness flowered
Comforts of the Earth revoked

Man owns the universe and all that's in it
Cold has no name in deep space for color

Planets run with rocks in celestial quirks of nature
Through circular asteroid belts designed by black 
Take blankets of dark wrapped in permanent night 
Answer back at strangers who invade their space
Warned to keep a distance from the stars 
 
Electronic noise with lights do not intimidate 
A leap of faith is needed when you travel
Astronauts cover themselves in silver suites
Filled with oxygen and sensors to detect
To step outside the craft into the universe
Outside themselves into the past 

Destinations measured become absorbed  
Stored in the books of knowledge                 
In time it will all be sorted out
Bound to have some meaning this time out

Signals bounce from an antennae reaching 
Calculated at a distance to the nearest stars
To be discovered as they are 
Inclinations on the not so new
So far from home from our perspective

Only a soft beat can be discerned                                 
Words have no sound in outer space
No meaning from the start
Only a murmur of humanity as matter
Sounds a faint echo in the distant heart

Living Down Below

Inhabitants are living deep down inside the earth
Interstitial creatures following their birth
Waiting, watching deep inside they hide
In the darkness never seeing simply they abide
Freezing cold and blistering heat they flourish like the trees
But who can tell they’re even there in the land that never sees
Without a nation, without a light
Abiding in the land of night
If I hadn’t told you now, you’d probably not know
Most of life upon this earth is living down below

Premium Member Shake From a Quake

A little pre-dawn shaking was going on around LA.
Early morning risers got a jolt on St. Patrick’s Day.
This quake went the same way so many had gone before.
Today, it measured on the Richter scale at 4.4.
Nobody was hurt, and no damage had been done.
However, experiencing an earthquake is scary and not fun.
Was it the spirit of St. Patrick romping along the heather?
No, it was just two tectonic plates rubbing together.

hello world?
calling a new world
anyone out there?
death over here
earth calling you
send a crew!
bring clean water
life a slaughter
we need food
life and death feud
not even a breath
imminent death
we are dying
stopped trying

Premium Member The Beginning

In the beginning there was nothing  
No music
No  social media  
No Nordstroms 
It was boring as hell 
On a positive note
There weren’t any distractions

Flat Earthers

Flat Earthers

I’ve heard some rubbish in my time,
But this one beats the lot,
Some people believe the Earth is flat,
How crazy, what twaddle and rot.

If only they’d researched history books,
Look up to the stars and swear,
It’s obvious to all who study these things,
The Earth isn’t flat, it’s square.

Ontogeny Recapitulates Phylogeny

By studying ontogeny (the micro development of embryos), scientists can learn about the evolutionary history of organisms. Ancestral characters are often, but not always, preserved in an organism’s development. For example, both chick and human embryos go through a stage where they have slits and arches in their necks that are identical to the gill slits and gill arches of fish. This observation supports the idea that chicks and humans share a common ancestor with fish. Thus, developmental characters, along with other lines of evidence, can be used for constructing phylogenies (the macro evolutionary history of a kind of organism).


Ontogeny recapitulates Phylogeny
Haeckel’s embryonic thing
The reflections of life
Micro and macro stages of change

Placenta fertilization
It's the origins of growth
Recapitulation of the species
DNA manifest and begins to takes hold

Fish gills - Reptilian
Mammalian hair
The development of consciousness
Would evolve us to contemplate and care

This micro macro theory has been rejected
The Haeckel proposal denied
But to believe the earth is 6,000 year old
Is to ignore Einstein's theory of relativity, space and time

So, when people say “it's just a theory”
It becomes very clear to see
If you don't understand the scientific method
How will you ever understand the reality?

Some of the scientific principles
Maybe hard to accept
But when you're not interested or dismiss the facts
It's the beginning of an intellectual death

I'm not saying that faith and beliefs aren't important
Culture and curiosity provides the way
But to ignore scientific information
Is a choice to remain ignorant in modernity today

Darwinian evolution
The most incredible creation story unfolds
It reveals the language of God - science
Now the true beauty of life is told

Premium Member Cosmic Consequence

Seeing spirals of Andromeda's dish
flinging itself towards the Milky Way;
many billion stars stuck in divine drama.
Through Gaia Observatory's scope eyes -
seems like two Ospreys warring in the skies.
Yet yields colossal change, spun at light speeds.

Seeing clearly our own old origins,
for mortals, this is how it all begins.
Knowing the truth may relieve one's worry,
hear earth's dynamic galactic story.
We're such specks, one of trillions;
in its vastness, aren't many minions.

Seeing one's self on our globe, universe;
always has had deep meaning for humans.
These billions of spheres shall surely collide,
the laws of physics cannot be denied.
Orbiting at an edge of our disk's swirl,
this galaxy's end will likely unfurl.
