When the World Grew Wings - Full
There once came a day
when the world took flight
('twas only a handful
who gaped at the sight)

A Better Person

Long ago I learned it
Nobody on this Earth is
Perfect
That's for certain
I'm determined

over the western horizon, it’s peculiar though,

Science and Faith
They are not natural enemies,

Ego
You never ignore yourself.
You....a finger pointing nowhere.
You flap; make waves,
what else you got?
A flashy kite with no sky
that's what.
If a vulture and a jellyfish
gave birth to an offspring,
they would name it: Ego.
A monstrously beautiful blob...

Kingdom of Doubters
Reacting to every stimulus
