God,
In His infinite wisdom said:*
“Let there be light”
Then
He went on to create this spectacular world
For us to delight!
Man,
In his infinite "stupidity"** retorted:
“ Let there be darkness”
Then
He was set to destroy this marvelous world
With his mind's dim-witted starkness!
Now,
Man has the horrible consequence of his
Abominable crime to face
That no other is than the obliteration of
Self-centred human race!

**“Albert Einstein said: "Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.”
*** Although I do not post these days I wish to repeat what I have said before for it is important for all of us to ponder, along with the rest of the world. In some cities, as Beijing today, one cannot see more than ten meters because of pollution. I know for I have passed seven months there.

"Madness," Hitler's honcho’s sneer.
Madness splices genes with fear.

Whisper this in your baby's ear
science poses little fear.
Though still primitive and childlike,
it finds first tracks on which to strike.
Billions spent on science research
scantly more than a stumbling lurch.
Bright babies will topple toy towers
as Mom picks pieces up and glowers.
Twisted forces tempt to abuse
having doubts, deny and confuse -
truths used as toys, science as tools.
So the rest can be played for fools.
With all we know of life and earth,
clues about our universe's birth;
each new truth reveals another,
there's so much more to discover.
Few children dare to stare away
while others sit and play all day.
Babies do grow and take the veil;
when they learn, science shall prevail.

Discrimination
Knowledge is power, know your history,
Study his story or her story.
Whichever you favour, to choose your reaction,
For illumination, learn about the history of your nation.
For history repeats itself,
So make a change, to help yourself.
Learn what made you, the person you are.
Know your roots, before planting your seed,
Don't let your mistakes, line your history.
Affirmative action will set you free, to ignore the bigotry.
The Afro-American struggle, has similarities with your own;
Surely you too, have been persecuted by someone.
Sure maybe on a different scale,
But still persecuted, like the feminist females.
Still, treated differently
Because of their thoughts of you.
Their opinion of how you look,
Or what they see you do.
Surely they've closed the door to you too?
And sent you away,
Before hearing your words?
Simply because of the way,
You are perceived to be.
It may have even lead you,
To question the person they see.
They judge you with their power,
Without even knowing you;
But even Einstein looked stupid,
With his mad scientist hairdo.
So follow what you believe, you can really do,
Don't quit because they say,
You can't do the things you wish to.
Prove them wrong, prove yourself right.
Never let them overcome your struggle,
Because nothing good comes easy,
There is always a price.
So is it worth the fight?
The hardest fight you'll have
Is with the demons inside you,
But when you've conquered your inner demons,
Nothing in this world will be able to stop you.

Quote by Albert Einstein
Keola – Rhyme
On the eve of the invasion, the world braced for an upheaval.
Two ancient foes were poised for war, a war between Good and Evil.
For things are deathly dark and unsavory when Satan's soldiers ride,
and only acts of heroic bravery can help Good turn the tide.
So we watched with pessimistic dread as soldiers circled ‘round Kharkiv.
We feared so many would soon be dead, we feared what’s up Satan’s sleeve.
In numbers seeming infinite, his warring hordes were drawing near,
when we watched a young Ukrainian boy, a boy who showed no fear.
He would play on a grand piano, he would play a soulful song,
he would play sweet chords of calmness in the face of the warring throng.
He would play with skill and feeling, he would play with a touch of class;
while the rest of the world was reeling, he was kicking Putin’s ass.
For nowhere in this universe could crimes of cold cupidity
be justified and understood but for human stupidity.
And I'm not sure who will win the war, if wars can be won or lost --
the one thing I am sure about in the universe is the cost.
For the cost of freedom is bloody steep, the consequences grave,
if we fail to battle bullies, and if we won’t stand with the brave.
And while we watched him on our big-screens, this boy’s bravery was clear;
just don’t think for a single second “it could never happen here.”

“There are only two ways to live your life.
One is as though nothing is a miracle.
The other is as though everything is a miracle”
I love this quote by Albert Einstein…I’ve read it a hundred times before…
and it was in my head this morning as I headed out the door.
You see, I grew up thinking miracles had to be momentous…divine in their design…
Like healing the sick, feeding the hungry or turning water into wine.
But who am I to quibble with Albert Einstein…a brilliant man who wrote a lot of books!
who believed miracles can be discovered…everywhere I look.
So I decided to test Albert’s theory…to make sure he’s not just ‘all talk’.
by making a list of miracles I encountered on my morning walk.
The trees, the grass, the flowers were the first miracles to catch my eye.
The air we breathe, the moon, the stars…the clouds up in the sky.
The rabbits, the dogs and cats…little miracles who walks along with me.
The insects…like the crickets and the butterflies…miracles a little harder for me to see.
Halfway through my walk and still more miracles remain…
The ocean made me think of water…like rivers, lakes and rain.
An opossum crossed my path…I heard the waking of the birds…
And isn’t it a miracle that we can put our thoughts down into words?
As I walked up my driveway…with those birds singing high above
I had to smile as I thought about the miracle of love.
When I saw my reflection in the window I thought how I am a miracle too
which, of course, means, if Albert and I are correct…so are you….and you…and you.
Yes, I grew up thinking miracles had to be momentous…like turning water into wine
that for miracles to be miracles they must be divine in their design.
But with Albert’s help I now realize from a single drop of dew…to the brightest shining star
When I look at all the miracles around me…that’s exactly what they are.
I love to laugh no question bout that
Clowning and being absurd
D'ya hear the one bout a girl and a sailor
Limericks got lotsa bad words
How is laughter defined in the dictionary
Beside it, there's a picture of Jack
With a cute definition that reads like this
Very nice but a bit outta whack
Sure don't appreciate that nasty last line
May not be an Einstein or a Gates
But still have other redeeming factors
Hot dogs? I can eat twenty-eight
In our local community I'm surely loved
They think there's nobody sweeter
Ride a motorized cart round the stores
Once maimed a Walmart greeter
Bottom line is to this crazy nonsense
No doubt I'm a fun loving jester
But I can get quite belligerent at times
And give you a very rude gesture

I am a nerd/geek through and through,
my past time is seeing how something
works.
What really gets me going is numbers
and equations.
My nick name was little Einstein, I really
loved science.
I was the loner and math tutor after school.
Tutoring gave me the chance to socialize
and come out of my shell.
I enjoyed it until I had to tutor the captain
of our football team.
He was arrogant and he had the brains
of a kid in kindergarten.
And I was head over heels infatuated with
him.
Once we got over our stereotypes of each
other, we became fast friends.
He was actually smart and played the role
of an airhead.
When our walls came crashing down it was
a mutual attraction and respect.
I’m still pinching myself, who would have
thought the nerd and the captain(football)
would be together.
Yours truly,

In this world, vast as it is,
A mere pinch of my lies
I hope would catch no undue eyes.
So how a liar in man carries on--
Carries on till caught.
And as is the ugly truth,
Lies sure the truth outweigh,
(A man of white or gray lies
Makes nary a rare bird),
And so, a liar takes to the highway--
What if one more lie is unfurled,
So how the lies smoothly sail
In a life of lies full of youth
Living on an endless bail.
But then lies as they are, posing upright
Among them fight
As to which one is more upright,
Truth nowhere on any side,
Each lie feeling, its fight’s always fair!
Such as be a liar’s dare.
My word whatso says does weigh,
So how poets pen their poems
So how like pinch of salt spread lies--
A product of poetic imagination
Liberally pen-painted,
Plenty shades of gray oriented.
Who’s on the part of truth?
A real painful tooth.
Poets have their licence
If or not things make sense.
Maybe, there’s a grain of truth
In any false narrative,
So thinking, some get friendly with loud lies.
Now, if a fight breaks out,
Who, and what would win?
What’s north, what’s south, east or west,
Only on Earth the truth comes to rest,
There’s up nor down outside of Earth,
Sun may in east rise upon Earth
Yet, does it rise or set at all?
So is a straight line
In a curvy-linear world
Truth gets easily whirled.
In a relative world of Einstein
Where’s an absolute line?
The wise talk of ‘practical’ truth,
Amidst Supreme or Ultimate
In perennial youth.
So, let some pinch of lies
Give truth a telling punch,
Wisdom lies in one being worldly wise,
In just mouthful of lies to munch.

What genius is in taking IQ tests,
when cures for cancer rot, decompose unfurled
with Mensans and half-brilliant fools? Digest,
then, that with all the intellect in the world
these nerds from wasting their brains fail to graduate,
and lay aside their intellectual games
(like Rubik's Cube) than mentally just “masturbate,”
to never rise to lofty genius's aims.
If Plato, Newton, Einstein, Beethoven,
or Shakespeare had been content to misspend
their gifts away, then the world of mere men
would long have come to its benighted end!
Therefore, reform your minds, ye half-smart fools;
and test yourselves instead in better schools.
