Action And Reaction

Isaac Newton is said to have stated,
'For every action,
or force in nature,
there is an equal and opposite reaction.'
And the proof in his pudding is,
if I exert myself
in search of who knows what I want to be,
it also brings to bear
an equal and opposite influence on me.
As, by doing so,
my own headwind I create,
which inhibits my progress,
and the harder I push, or fixate,
the more resistance I set up,
so to speak,
and the farther away I am
from finding whatever it is I seek.
Indubitably, it's a rule of thumb,
the more forward I go,
all the further behind I become,
but is it better to do nothing at all,
than beat my head against
an invisible brick wall?

Premium Member Paper Kingdom

Immigrants why do you come?
Whether you are spiritual or mathematical etc. This is our Karma:

Isacc Newton’s 3rd Law
For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction—Sir Isaac Newton
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy—Sir Isaac Newton
I can calculate the motion of heavenly bodies but not the madness of people—Sir Isaac Newton


Dangerously nearing a very steep precipice –ran by the shadow in thy kings tarnished soul, he proceeds with his paper kingdom—I Am Anaya

Do not be fooled by the power
of the king, by the shadow he’s enveloped 
Open your eyes to the shadow
He pokes, pricks, and stirs the fear inside
Drowning in remorse, regret, and sorrow till
nothing remains but the hatred
Hatred has the king for his paper kingdom
A tyrant evolves

Fragile like the house of cards
Tis but origami paper
meticulously folded
with patience,
is his castle
Immigrant why do you come?
Immigrant you must have dire reason
You’ll only find division, malice
and disfunction

So many dwell under a rock
blindly leading blind
Toward the precipice
Tis this charade!  The king’s been tricked
As he parades his symbols
Dangerously close to the precipice
How do we choose
Who will vie for king?
Riddled by the law
not founded on solid ground
after all
The two dimensions
The jack-ass consistently
kicks the lion 
discombobulating him

Heretical in families
misjudging the way of the world
Nothing ever resolved
In his paper kingdom
how should society work?
Whose ethical ideas?
Whose ideology? 
Spectrum such as the left, 
the centre or the right

Ode To the Introvert

Sometimes folks will go and pity us,
“Come out of your shell!”they always cry,
forgetting that it you do that to a turtle
the poor beast is going to die.
But still some folks insist they try.
Introversion, they never truly understand,
better to sleep on nails then have a hundred friends!

But they never realize they need us,
that we see what slips their view.
Hell, if anything, we see too much,
it’s why we need time away from you!
To sort out perception into truth.
A loner’s mind finds this no travail,
as they always say: God is in the details.

You read, and enjoy the movie screens,
they bring escape from weary days,
but to create all that you need someone
not afraid to sit with just their brain,
and daydream the hours away.
When they strike upon an amazing thing,
it fascinates the millions, makes the heart sing.

You like your phones and gadgets,
they’re a centerpiece of your life,
but what went into making them work
were the inwardly-focused running rife,
given the space to push and strive.
Using the kind of math most never learn,
they connected billions, for better or worse.

The music that inspires millions
came from Beethoven’s maddened mind.
But in person he was a sonuvabitch,
not the type who’d show you a good time,
downright unpleasant, most would find.
But I think many more would be annoyed
to live a life without the Ode to Joy.

Some others would not understand
that the science we take for fact
came mostly from a half-mad loner,
utterly bereft of taste or tact.
All These things Isaac Newton lacked.
Yet when that crazy bastard focused within
the age of modern science did truly begin.

In some ways it makes no sense,
to try and explain the way we are.
The outgoing cannot understand it,
to them it’s a step too far
to slink away when you could be a star.
Just keep in mind the next time you mock,
without us you’d all still be banging rocks.

Virgin Conjurings

Virgin Conjuring’s

If I were a virgin I would lock up all the birds and bees
Keep them in little yellow boxes in the attic 
And never feed them aphrodisiacs 

If I were a virgin like Sir Isaac Newton
I would do something good for humanity
Have an apple fall on me and explain gravity

If I were a virgin I would become a cartoon
Just like Kim Jong-un, of North Korea
And pretend to be human

If I were a virgin in a strange religion
Where sex was a sin and crime all the time
Suicide and lobotomy would be on my mind

If I were a virgin, which I doubt very much
I would probably have to be age four or five
Living on a desert Island with no women by my side

If I were a virgin things would be different
I would suffer from malnutrition
There would be no reason for living

If I were a virgin……..

Eureka - a love song Tanka series
~ art by Edward Burne-Jones ~

It's a fair question:
as you smile that smile, you ask
how much I love you…
"You are constant as the sun
   ...and I am Copernicus"

As you close your eyes,
you ask how far I'd travel
to show I love you:
"Love, you are the seven seas
   ...I'm Ferdinand Magellan"

"Why do you tell me
I'm the apple of your eye?"
you wonder out loud.
I say, "You are gravity
   …and I am Isaac Newton"

You furrow your brow
asking why I pursue you.
"It's simple", I say,
"you're 24 karat gold
   …and I am Howard Carter"

You crinkle your nose,
"Why do you never give up?"
you ask me coyly.
I say, "You are a light bulb
   … and I'm Thomas Edison"

You get somber and
ask if loving you is such 
a good idea
to which I say "Eureka!"
   … for I am Archimedes

Premium Member What If

Biden has never felt weller
He’s seen off that crazy-haired fella
With boxes to dump
Of votes ticked for Trump
He simply can’t move in his cellar.

           ***

Neil Armstrong had NASA to please
He slowly got down on his knees
He dug up a rock
And got quite a shock
And said ‘Yum... it really is cheese.’

           ***

Pythagoras drove a big wedge
He said the world’s round with no ledge
Columbus was stressed
When in the Crow’s nest
He cried, ‘We've gone over the edge‘

           ***

That Alexander Graham Bell
At least as far as I can tell
His chisels he’d hone,
Carved a dog and a bone
Marconi had made one as well

           ***

Alexander Fleming earned his shilling
By working so hard and so willing
He ate mouldy bread
But before he was dead
He invented a pen with a quill in

           ***

Adam, it seems, had no mother
But God had sent Adam a lover
Eve, naked in bed
Was sad when he said
Hi ducks, have you got a brother?

           ***

The asteroid wouldn’t desist
It’s path wouldn’t turn, wouldn’t twist 
That fireball from space
flew by at a pace 
A caveman said f*ck me, it missed

           ***

That covid was terribly cruel
It just wouldn't run out of fuel
We first sent rebukes
And then we sent nukes
When Xi Jinping said ‘April Fool’

           ***

Isaac Newton is astounded
The apple has left him confounded
His half crazy stare
As it floats in mid air
Is strange for he’s always so grounded

           ***

No seconds, no minutes, no hours,
A cosmos of dust and gas showers 
They’d clash and they’d clang 
To make a big bang...
Phut!

There is a magic that, if we’re blessed, throughout our life persists…
a phenomenon that can’t be explained by philosophers or scientists.

It’s been around long before we were born and will be around long after we are through…it’s something you might find hard to believe…until it happens to you.

It can only occur naturally…it can’t be manufactured…or bought…and only after you’ve experienced it does it become easier to spot.

You can see it in your family and friends with just the naked eye…it is particularly easy to spot in older couples walking by.

Since, once experienced it becomes easier to see…
I wonder…if Charles Darwin knew of its origin…or Isaac Newton its gravity.

Surely something this fascinating begs for the expertise…of Plato…
his mentor Aristotle…
or his student, Socrates.

And what is this phenomenon whose praises have long been sung?
It’s the fact that even as our bodies grow old…the love inside us stays young.

That, even as we age and our actions and reflexes are slowing,…the love we first experienced long ago in our hearts and minds…keeps growing.

It is a fact we all will die…to think differently is a fools endeavor…
but love…once it’s touched us and touched another…will live on…forever.

Love has a way of defying time and space…of gravity…of origin and causation…
of never being fully understood…of eluding explanation.

And I, for one, having experienced it…
feeling its wonder every day…
am not only glad it is so mysterious…
but wouldn’t have it any other way.

RoyGBiv, RoyGBiv, RoyGBiv, I love you RoyGBiv with my might
You have to do with rainbows, wave length frequency and light
Electromagnetic Wave Prism Experiment gave us many a clue...
We can credit Isaac Newton, a scientist whose credentials are overdue.

RoyGBiv, RoyGBiv, RoyGBiv, I admire you RoyGBiv, I truly really do!
Relationship between wave length and frequency are ultimately true.
Gamma-Ray, X-Ray, Ultraviolet Ray Too. They are all famous now
Thanks to the likes of you! Even those short stubby radio waves. Wow!

If you are interested in experimenting, verifying some of this great stuff.
See website “Imagine the Universe”. Their lesson plans are not tough.
RoyGBiv, RoyGBiv, RoyGBiv, you show us light travels at one speed.
But diverse wavelengths and frequencies give us colors that we need.

Premium Member Tale of a Scientist, Edited

A long time ago there lived one Isaac Newton,
a great scientist of all times, a famous Briton.
Born premature, into a quart mug he would fit, 
said his mother, who left him to grow up on his wit.

Isaac Newton with a refined brain
stood on shoulders of giants to gain
view of the far none had seen.
On him fell an apple green,
derived gravity from his thought train. 

Newton had no commerce with women, Voltaire said. 
In science endeavor mathematical matrix he had laid.
With disarrayed mind he had died mired in controversy,
alchemic pursuits poisoned him with mercury, a mystery.

Premium Member Can Mankind Survive Mankind

as children we watched the sky wind clouds
from amongst trees or sandy beech crowds
we played in the water and had fun with reflections
picturing lions tigers and bears as with our cloud assumptions

until isaac newton no one understood the nature of light 
water reflections and cloud images were mysteries in actual sight
ancients pictured these visual echoes in rivers of water or air as proof 
revealing what exists above is but thought to what lies beneath

high ideals of mind grasped a system of logic that appeared as lawed
from above the cloud image reflections of those looking down called the gods
heaven was thought as wisdom above so below was pain ignorance and death
and we slowly evolving fractal biological thought forms knot and pain the earth

typically problems grow till out of control and we finally summon all our forces
to first protect corporations with legal 'personhoods' not our people sources
of families labor and taxes without guaranteed government health care fallback
just an 'us against them' two party political system with hollywood at its back
