Hugs of Life

HUGS OF LIFE

A hug is a lasting momentum medicine,
Its inventory would dwarf the works of Edison
And certified as the most wanted vaccine.
It could heal a broken heart, 
Mending body and soul in a mythical act,
It could put smiles on your face
And brighten all your days,
It could fetch tears from your eyes, 
Calm your fears no matter the problem size, 
It could altruistically reassure
Even when it's presumptively premature,
It could pacify and set you high,
A statement of LOVE to satisfy.
Never take a tight hug for a penny
if at all you hope to get any.

Premium Member Thomas Edison's Mother

My mother loved me into wonderfulness
An odd child, too unusual for school.
I was sent home the first day, with a note.
I watched my mother’s face, for nuances.
A small wavering cheek dimple would have
Confirmed my most horrid fears.
I could tell by the whisperings of the day
The teacher did not want me there
Would my mother feel shame?
Would she call me names too?
Like the children had?  
Arms enfolded me. 
Relief.
She still loved me.
My mother, the one person who 
Believed in me when I was feeling like
No one else did.
You my blessed son, are too smart to go there.
I stared into her brown doe eyes.  
She had never been more convincing.
And I was a child who needed to believe.
She is the reason I persevered.
No other teacher could have taught me 
Resiliency and tenacity like my mother did.
She, and she alone, convinced me of my
Brilliance.  
No one else would have failed nine thousand and nine hundred and ninety-nine times and still tried one more time, right?
So in a way I must dedicate the electric light-bulb to my mother.
God bless you, Mother.  
You are my hero!

Premium Member ''NFC'': Entropy COMPLETE

Energy found its way through the rigorous
rigamarole of trial and error of those persistent
like the Wright Brothers, the Curies, or Thomas 
Edison, and others. The close failures were consistent.
At the time, based on their hypothesis
that it will benefit all living-kind existent.
Yet they were all clueless to the vigorous
negativity that their inventions will be hell-bent.

The electric chair, countless deaths by accidental
electrocution, then the military plane that dropped
the atomic bombs, first on Hiroshima's citadel
by using devices onboard for their best opt
to maximize deaths. Also, Nagasaki being critical.
The Atomic bombs were both propped
with radioactive properties that were essential.
Ergo, good and bad are clarified when mopped.
    
Since the beginning of human history,
entropy played a significant part
that affected borderlines, racial sophistry
another open flesh wound of the heart 
as fanatism occupied and warped the symmetry
of religion and segregates, faiths impart
brained the clueless first via chemistry
until Tsar Bomba took the chart. 

The atmospheric conditions are codependent
with temperature. Barometric condition affects
weather and health that are both consistent
as one trails a single value that projects
air quality being as effective and existent
ergo, temperature gauges the fall and rise as subjects
and cannot separate themselves as self-dependents
so they're not polarized, but affectionate objects.

A preposterous venture to entertain as the last phase
of the Three Laws. The First and Second Laws were
easily fathomed, yet the Third, like dots in a maze
became blank when they didn't link keeping the stir
as the only constant having left my mind in a haze
being kerfuffle and not stifled, the informed concur
casting doubts as temperature measures my mind strays
returns a better me. I deduced 'twas by an amateur.

First Law: Energy cannot be created or destroyed, only transformed or transferred (conservation of energy).
Second Law: Entropy, a measure of disorder, always increases in a closed system.
Third Law: As the temperature of a system approaches absolute zero, the entropy of the system approaches a constant minimum. 

I chose "NFC", Not For Contest, due to my drawn conclusion, sadly truth became the judge.

Premium Member Inventions

Edison is the father of inventions
Bringing light and hope to this world 
And the Wright Brothers too
Bringing closer the corners of the world to you
Nowadays thousands of inventions have accumulated 
And we even didn't know the inventors
We accept and enjoy their hardwork
Their wisdom and contributions
Unfortunately many are misused 
Making the world harder, more sick and more horrible
Who is to be blamed
Of course
The devil in man's heart
Who has overuled 
The pure soul of the inventor
God has given man the intelligence to invent
But man destroys it 
With his own bad motive
Who is to be blamed
Maybe we can't blame God
It's our own fault

A Pool of Minds

This world is a fine creation,
Every where innovations,
Day by day the creations in renovation,
Africa was in dark before Edison,
Donkeys carried people until Ford,
Edison and Henry Ford this world know as inventors,
They were poets and writers,
Maths a king of subject opening the minds wide,
Poetry also a mind booster,
Edison a poet,
Light his known poem,
Ford wrote,
Automobiles his known writing,
All creating minds brought innovations,
For this world to walk in comfort,
Poets we are,in thousands,
From the West,East,North and South,
Come to put all our minds into a pool,
To drive into light from where it's broken down!

Premium Member They Are Noncompliant Messes

He is deemed least likely to succeed in kindergarten
Cannot follow in a line, is horrible at being redundant
Never fits in with the rest of the cookie dough
Distorted immediately after being cut into a circle
He cannot be educated the teacher says in a note to his mother
He is Thomas Edison

She is strangely odd, her professor writes.
She does not take direction well, is disrespectful, 
Is too strong willed, and will never be compliant.
She is so many modern women it is not funny
And they are all presidents of their own businesses now
I guess they could not do anything else

He is a mess; no home schooling.
No one can control him; he is a wild man.
He runs to Hollywood to star in movies.
No one has to tame him there.
He is a millionaire now.
But how can that be?
He did not finish school.
This does not compute.

Have No Fear

An idea wrapped up in a dream, 
it will never work, don't even try. 
Another wacky out there scheme, 
better to let it lay and die. 

If that were the attitude taken, 
by those great inventors of old. 
Like Edison, Bell and Franklin, 
great men who were so bold. 

We could't call the ones we love in the middle of the night,
we would still be in the dark without their bulb of light. 
Without the brothers Wright, we could not own the sky,
we would never have the right to spread our wings and fly. 

If we had been too cautious, to venture into space, 
this moment in history we could never face.                                                                                                             We would have never stepped foot on the moon. 
if we had listened to those, who said it was too soon. 

Strike while the iron is hot, 
that's the motto we should adopt. 
Fear is just a wall to keep in hope, 
let's unleash our dreams, let's cut the rope. 



" Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. 
The most certain way to succeed is always 
to try just one more time. "    -   Thomas Edison

Naysayers

Naysayers

You know those people whom
Always have something negative to say, 
Got you believing you set your hopes too high. 
I could care less about the things you say, 
The only real voice that affects me
Is the one in my own home, 
The people raising me day by day.

Understand that some dreams,
Are tougher than others, 
And it's a competitive field; 
But that doesn't mean,
It's impossible to make it real. 
I know a guy, a friend of mine, 
He's about 16 and he made his dream real. 
So, don't give up until you make it real.

To be honest, I'd rather take the chance and fail, 
Rather than not take a chance at all. 
Sometimes taking chances 
Can lead to the opportunity of a life time.
It's like science all over again; 
Howard Schultz, Thomas Edison, or even Graham Bell. 

Three ordinary people with visions and dreams, 
The world wouldn't be the same,
without their passion to succeed.
The world is full of naysayers and unbelievers;
The people whom don't,
Believe you can succeed. 
It's up to you to prove them wrong
Live your life and find out where you belong.

Premium Member In a Day Like Today

~In A Day Like Today~
 (Sonnet)

 For winter,kind of cool here,yes,it was
 Very nice today,completed quite some,a bit
 Then just relaxed,reflected 'long,did sit 
 After many chores I've done,took a pause
 Read in 1927 Dr.Seuss marri'd Helen Palmer
 In 1927, King Tut's tomb was discovered too
 Many events in a day like today
 Befell.Some good,some bad,catchy scar or star.

 Turn off TV.Only depressing,joyless shows
 Today,writing here another new sonnet
 Now,again,for a third day in a row
 Mulling over,just surfing round the net.

 In 1877,Edison his crank'd phonograph play'd
 In 1981,famed,actress Natalie Wood died.

Our Daily Bread

Racism. Trying to prove ones skin tone or ethnicity is superior to another’s. 

Why we let a such word control society is beyond the human brain. 
Why it is unfathomable to process we are all made of the same thing; but different because of how we come? Incomprehensible.

Why most are unable to understand that being baked in a different bakery, at a different temperature, slower or faster, rising more quickly than others or not; is a perfect example of how close minded we have become. Do your conditions not make you not bread?


We are all made of the same things, carbon mostly. Along with Oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, calcium, and phosphorus. 

Yet because the outer coating of someone’s body, that has nothing to do with what kind of person they are, they are targeted as a lesser class.

Elaborate why, when all the things, that all races have discovered,and accomplished are so completely amazing, we still discriminate? 

Did you know the three light-stop-light was invented by an African American? Or that Thomas Edison collaborated with an African American scientist who created the most vital part of the light bulb? 

Not only is the actual racism a problem, it’s the misleading term that gets most people.

You are not a racist if you dislike a person with the same skin color of your own; only if you dislike the whole population of people, because of their skin color. 

We could move so much further towards making the world a happier place. We could bring together whole communities and end all slurs in one fell swoop. We need this change, for future generations. If only we could only see past what is another persons pigmentation. 

We are a species of infinite curiosity, with the resources and assistance to satisfy it. We as a whole, every single color, race, ethnicity, religion, we have created so much beauty.

But we let skin color define us.
