I can also say that, in my heart, I firmly believe... Since my youth, before bedtime, kneeling on my bare knees, I prayed to God. I prayed that way until I reached the age of 50. From that time onwards, I pray a bit different, but it doesn't matter, the essence is the same, and I pray to God every day. ~ Nikola Tesla
His father was a priest, believing
In the light, the love that completes us
Once they guessed
He’d be a child of darkness, depressed
Life would give him opportunities
To prove that he was blessed
Even the air seemed more alive
Knowing this soul who would indeed thrive
What he gave our world surely impressed

Why does English have so many words
that have two or more meanings attached
There's many unused letter combos

The steampunk inventor named Tee had a glorious rep.
We waited for him gladly on the top institute step.
A pretty girl walked by dressed in steampunk gear.
With the kind of beauty most scientists fear.
We knew not to whistle, that is frowned on today.
She greeted us with a smile, she had a soft way.
I am Tee she said, in a commanding voice that day.
A female! Wow! We were kind of blown away.

Cami is an inventor, a genius, a marvel said the witch
We let her do things her way, never used a belt or a switch
She grew up knowing she was the best of the best
School was nothing to her, she out tested every old test
We let her come home and spend time being a tinker
She is a philosopher too, a model creative thinker
Cami is on her way now with things from an estate
She said she has found the best spell book to date!
So are you all witches then? I asked the old hag.
Shh! She said to me. I do not disclose my doctor’s bag.
Cami rode into the compound on a motorized bike.
Pulling a trailer full of books, and birdcage by Mike.
She is a unique figure, no nonsense, knows what she is doing.
Cami soon had an enormous bonfire and cauldron both brewing.
I sneaked away, but not before giving the satchel a quick look.
She has her hands full now, for she has a witch doctor’s book.

- Thinking of Jobs and Wozniak
they are like arms
left handed or right handed
there may be,
Discrimination between the two hands
is impossible,
because they are connected
each other
Oh yeah, one thing
inventor compared to engineer
walking slowly but
can laugh with
a relaxed smile
because he is not competing
towards the goal.

Teal’s concoction is mannequin madness, grandpa said.
He thought new inventions were whacked in the head.
I thought it was genius, because my cousin Teal is bright.
Her ideas are spectacular, her brilliance is more than all right.
In my grandparents’ living room were new mannequins now.
They had been turned into lamps. I could not stop saying “Wow!”

An independent inventor, Stanley Meyer
Delved into his innate cauldron of genius
Thought ingenuously out-of-the-box
He’d revolutionize the automobile industry.
He claimed to have designed an engine
That he designated as the water fuel cell
Using the established principle of electrolysis
Of water making hydrogen, burnt to generate energy.
Although the concept in theory seemed feasible
Meyer couldn’t demonstrate that it really worked
Skeptics branded the claim pseudoscience and fraudulent
So, water as an engine fuel remained a myth.
Meyer’s innovative design interested some investors
His effort and idea upset the influential oil companies
It’s unclear if his untimely unusual death was connived
Or he actually succumbed to cerebral aneurysm.
Meyer failed to give the world unlimited supply of fuel
But he survives in mystery as a derided inventor.

Praise be to you in the Highest
My Highness
Answered with Glory
Created our story
Truly no other
May be called our Father
Among the wild
We heard your smile
Within arms length
Strength
Bless our Author
Who entered the water
Washed us from within
Took away all sins
His Holy oil
Blessed our soil
Quite exquisite
The Holy Spirit
Within the wave of your hand
You blessed our land
We shall never thirst
God love shall always come first
All kindness deserves
To know your prayers we heard
We blossom within your rope
Many days we felt we could barely hope
Built your inner wall of fire
Gave us our hearts desire
Within your magical shoe
Jesus Christ carried us through
Found one that fits
And does not resist
A perfect match
Your love attached

My neighbors and friends were astounded
Many had doubted, did not think it could be done
However with my dandelion-generated motor
I began to show them how, and it was incredibly fun.
You just add dandelions! They said incredulously.
That is right, I assured them as they sipped their tea.
We had brought in the neighbors, the doubters too.
We were demonstrating my new auto-engine. I had painted it blue.
Just ordinary everyday dandelions? Yellow humdrum?
Found in yards all over the world? Asked a man wearing a mask.
I nodded, and if you run out of gas, just pick some.
Will the people charge us for them? One idiot asked.
I nodded and laughed, and my six driving-age children nodded too.
For we had built each of them cars out of bits of junk yard stuff and glue.
The total cost to us was around two hundred and sixteen dollars apiece.
So my dandelion-engine put-together car was featured from here to Greece.

When I'm gone and I'm back
If it's true
Do not put me in the land
Of our hollow heroes.
Reinvent me;
Pass me through a lab no matter how crude
To become an inventor
Take me through the the furnace of war
Refine me into a real general.
Let me go through the sprawling fields
Where birds twirp to fill
An abundance of the earth,
Make me a scarecrow;
A whistleblower in the land
Not a pawn on the table of our heroes.
