Premium Member Theory In Crisis: I

If Darwinian evolution is correct,
then there should exist a continuum of forms,
but what we see with a closer inspect:
that taxa-defining features are norm.

We see hair in mammals, and feathers in birds,
But of ancestral stepping stones, nary a word.
You would expect intermediate fossils,
But this doesn’t bother old Darwin’s apostles.

You see, Darwin posited random mutations;
This is well known, and without refutation.
Of course, he knew nothing about DNA,
But somehow his theory survives to this day.

He studied finches, examined their beaks,
Noticed some changes and took some great leaps.
From observations of the beaks of some birds,
He extrapolated far past the absurd.

None will deny populations adapt,
But he jumped to origins, and folks were enrapt.
The logic employed was exceedingly odd,
But it marketed well, for it rejected God.

See, Darwin knew nothing of what’s in a cell;
Today such a theory would be a hard sell.
But “settled science” has old origins too,
And as we all know, settled’s not always true.

What’s true in the large sometimes fails in the small,
And that is close to the root of it all.
But the ultimate stab in the heart with a knife:
There’s no explanation for the origin of life.

I hope this is the first of a series of these…

Wheel of the Year

The wheel of the year has turned again. 
New growth is on its way. 
WE sow seed and watch it grow ,what we say and do is the seed of life. 
There is one Earth,one human race with variations .
Our bodies replenish the Earth , our sould travel on to where we desire .
This whole world is connected ,little fish feed bigger fish, krill ,so tiny, replenish giant 
whales. 
One chain of life which feeds off one another, the Darwinian theory isnt evolution but 
survival and the ability to adapt.
 All creatures great and small adapt to their surroundings. 
Only the Human Race finds this difficult to understand we kill for pleasure ,for the thrill, 
for excitement for some who have closed minds. 
Wearrive here naked , we leavr here naked that is an irrefutable fact even for billionairs 
and kings and rulers. 
So the wheel turns again in its never ending circle of life, nothing changes except some 
numbers the cycle of the world stays the same in an never ending story.

Truth Behind Tradition

Mel got knocked up very early
when out playing the field,
then she went and murdered it
before it all got ‘too real.’
Now her baby haunts her dreams,
and she sees only perdition,
there’s a reason we don’t kill kids,
there’s a truth behind tradition.

Allan called himself ‘open-minded,’
and said ‘he would never judge.’
He’d let anyone into his house,
be they poor, homeless, or thug.
One day he woke up and found he
no longer had a television,
still he refused to make judgements,
blind to why it’s a tradition.

Sue was an empowered type,
she “did not need no man!”
She went ahead and had a kid,
to be raised by her own hand.
But now the boy is out of control,
and her pay-check’s but a pittance,
with no husband to share the load,
as was done by tradition.

Mark was a male feminist
who stood by to help his ‘girl.’
She was a strident activist,
she was his entire world.
Until he learned a Hell’s Angel
upon his true love had ridden,
there’s reason men should act like men,
not by chance is it tradition.

Jane, she was a young GI,
one of the very few
women who had passed the tests
Aal male soldiers must do.
Where her squad was over-run,
her captors laughed in derision,
She knew what they planned for her,
a dark and horrible tradition…

Rick was a damn millionaire,
quite blessed by inheritance,
never had to work a day,
nor a toiling hour spend.
Still he sent out resumes,
surrendered to the repetition,
to have no task would drive him mad,
he needed that male tradition.

Sure we know some had to go,
discrimination comes to mind,
but the bulk of them still remain,
and I think most folks will find
these ideas stand the test of time,
face Darwinian competition,
those that survive all the world’s trials
are entrenched as tradition.

To seek change for it’s own sake,
is a foolish waste of time,
a vanity of success and wealth,
a byproduct of good times.
But this world is a ruthless thing,
with nonsense it’s not smitten,
to survive at all is a great fight,
your best weapons are traditions.

Premium Member Ode To Tropical Island Loneliness

Oh Sweet Island!  Thou tropical paradise:
   Miles have I traced upon thy ceaseless reach
Of ocean-choked shorelines owed Heav’nly device
   Sheltering I, this marooned guest on thine endless beach.
Safe House against left alone misery;
   Whereby, alongside thine evergreen canopies full
      Darwinian mysteries perched high atop their home,
Do I maintain nourished in flesh ‘n faculty
   And keep this wit sharpened when blunted dull
      Should become elements awash reduced but to roam;

Added all, all for sake of thine increased covenance,
   That keener my eyes and keener my tongue
When my throat succumbs thine euphoric abundance;
   Pink spilled over warmth -
      Else-wise myself, by self, selfishly by now would’ve hung;
For if not for that which is thy sun (may thy sun also hear praise)
   My sight might yet be withheld those rare flockish friends
      Who keep in time the shared sweetness of functioning words;
Therefore to thee, and to they of thee, whom of wing’ed realm I appraise
   As reason unsought are frenzied neurotic ends;
      True thanks directed thee and thy mystic splendors; thy talking birds.

Alas, sadly, not even thou distills lunar ascensions
   By which subside hopeful rays in thy sobering night;
Nor be those which aviate above as homing pigeons
   With beaks to carry silent pleas where may come ends to my plight.
Thus, this I ask thee;  What good is time spent when time’s spent alone?
   Yes, thou provides: plentiful shelter, plentiful warmth, plentiful food
      As well as fiery fuel to fend off critters of strife –
But, this be thy kingdom, not mine.  Here, I sit on a remembered throne
   Where days threaten months threatened by years in which strangers brood –
Oh, Sweet Warden;  Relinquish me!  I beg thee on behalf of slipping sanity;
   Let this rambling sentence end
      So I, once again, may stand by my daughter and wife.

This Iz Not the Poem Part Uno

that will neither revolutionize whorled wide web,
   nor pollinate like fecund human loam
viz - it mine neurological nuances here
   within Schwenksville, Pennsylvania,

   my present home,
town pulsating with
   so called "butterfly effect" ineluctably
fluttering microscopically
   like dust motes or invisible foam

(bell leave me) metamorphosed
   mental whim, within cranial dome
(in valise case body electric)
   covered in 50 + nine slim shades
   of gray streaked brown dread fully medium
   length lockets i rarely comb,

   boot food for thought to set literary stage
before affixing my poetic missive -
   from this word wrangler,
   hoof hinds himself dumbfounded

   at whiz bang of years cuz - just yesterday
   aye remembered being a boy,
   now i yam more than
   half a century since birth didst age.

without further ado
i offer literary missives enclosed
   within this body politic spooked
   me playful teenage inner child goes "boo"
fur ye to ponder and brew

of his small bread box sized lil motley crue
two daughters due 
tee flapped wings, and flew the coop 
whereby aye resemble offspring hybrid 
   ostrich crossed with an emu,

whose deux progeny sired from personal
   super reproductive goo
swimming swiftly in 
   harried styled, swiftly taylor made
   viscous tailored tulle lord hue

carrying miniature bin - laden
   genetic heritage predominantly Jew
wish with one late uncle Sam,
   who preferred to be called cra debt lou
who himself happened to be,

   a milch cow frequent moo
wing for bare naked lady gaga friend
   winnie mandy della pooh,
which induced inxs doth rue
what comprises Darwinian 

   Origin of Species to be true
evolutionary biologists versus
   Bible thumping creationists claim
   with tangible proof as their view
perchance includes you
this chimp bull leaves humans 
   originated from primate zoo.


Mountain Meaning Iv - New Being

I imagine
A day with plants and no plastics

No oil gas or coal dug up and sprayed from underneath
No trees removed
No bees boxed up

No smoke curled to the blue sky
No animals carved up and slaughtered

We
The Gods of Technology
Living in a universe separate and freed

From the violent capitalist divine of Nature
And from our own wild Darwinian instincts

Driving us like depressed unsatisfied madmen
To consume s**t sleep and reproduce

Consume s**t sleep and reproduce
Consume s**t sleep and reproduce
Consume s**t sleep and reproduce

To wonder from this cycle
What is the meaning?

Climbing a mountain because it is there

Yes
I imagine when each human being
Is but an artist an angel a scientist philosopher

Modern pioneers of less not more
Cuddling to Love that’s real Within.

Distressing Calls of Discontent

Distressing Calls of Discontent 



Distressing calls of discontent frowning upon my brow 

Convalescing with the fall of a malcontent who was too haughty and proud 

Coalescing in forms of consequence that are meant to be spoken out loud

Blessing the tall deliverance of being alone among the crowd



Interjections of circumspections for those crossing the civil lines

Mass contentions of introspection as we search for the divine 

Condescensions from such pretension that it stupefies the mind

Predilections of inventions that are formed from those who actively look for what they find 



Revolution from inside the homes of those who cant afford to pay their rent 

Evolution of a Darwinian theory that Creationism circumvents 

Convolution of a weary postulation that’s going around inside my head

Pollution of a planet that refuses to create a carbon dent 



Microscopic elements under review for replication 

Biopic relevance of a relative who is patiently genetically awaiting 

Some myopic recognition of the claims that they are steaking 

While I’m off the topic I’m still reeling from the borders that I’m breaking 



Incandescent reflections that imbibe a lucid dream 

Convalescent infections that permeate a populace to scream

Illuminesent interjections of light from the purity of a single sunbeam 

Reminiscent of collections that are above the creation of a common theme



Musing always soothing my mind while ceasing the debate

Grooving all the time while I try to syncopate 

Perusing all these ethical crimes that make one want to incubate 

While using the refine to give and remain hesitant to take 



Ammunition for another war that transcends national borderlines

Intuition used only for the expansion of mankind 

Premonitions that abhor everything but the expansion of the mind 

Nightly visions that store it all across the passages of time 



The End

Darwinian Doubt

One hundred and fifty years ago a man made a huge hypothesis
Species after species would grow so from algae we came to this
Life itself still unexplainable yet this theory had gone on to say
These changes are incredible always working out in a perfect way

There weren’t any facts behind simply his observation from a far
And neither I even remind, science has long since crushed that bar
For without even a microscope not even knowing of the complex cell
So to then know the atom, there was no hope of knowing that as well

But he told his little story without facts or a single fossil of change
You see, that is all God’s Glory and Genesis, Darwin can’t rearrange
Even with all the proof today,  the amount of technology in our hands
A society has lost its way when it’s own creation, no one understands

For all will be held without excuse standing naked in Our Fathers eyes
For it will be too late to choose the Truth once you’ve come to realize
For today the proof is before you, you need only to go and seek it out
But no matter what you may do in the end no one will have any doubt


For since the creation of the world God's invisible qualities--
his eternal power and divine nature--have been clearly seen, 
being understood from what has been made,
 so that people are without excuse.  Romans 1:20
