Premium Member That What Was Then Is Becoming and Now

When the Universe created the Universe and allowed for challenge 

It was quite open to change and the preponderance of ageing times

Youth is not a crime and the respect for seniority has to be earned

Oh my Lord let there be earth under heaven it might have intuited

A primordial bang and atoms swished as mute mutations ensued


It had not considered that people were to talk back or quite forward 

Like moody teenagers or wayward sycophants refuting the Source


Seven days later the mess was complete and an apple indigested 

Abel was disabled and begetting begot generations of philistines


Time is a stretchable concept but conception quick and unpredictable

Dinosaurs passed in the flash of a pang before stones turned to bronze

And into dogma of gold mined for the pockets of inequality and gluttony


Arcs for walking on water and one lousy fish for many wretched souls

A sole and meagre bouillabaisse yet diamond soles on feet in contempt


Dinosaurs came and went stones turned to bronze and with it tools

Of destruction where synthesis and harmony should have prevailed

But that was then and there and today is here and now and counting


We have lost the abacus in computerized algorithms and the plot in the

Process of post modernity and post selfies and trivia on glittering face book

Discarded essence and existential meaning on face value of tale telling times

An icon once had a different meaning as smiling faces are arrested in botox


But not all is lost when social media and mediums hex and bewitch the planet 

Opium for the masses finds novel experiences addicted to shallow delight

Ten Year Challenge before and after a self-righteous pride in rigid acclaim


A decade is a miniscule timeline of Self that speck of dust in a galaxy

And thus I cherish my wrinkles the grey in my hair the scars and defeats

Have no need for glossing and photo shop and for the denial of passing

A crooked tooth here or there and a broken crown of vital humanity

And thus I will not diminish my hunger for living in the moment of truth

Premium Member Introducing the Splitzmodic Vibratones

Emaciated test-tube mutations 
Raised apart in pristine distillations 
Conceived in dexedrine celebrations 
and the crazed, ecstatic inhalations 
of the professor’s choicest pheromones 

Right-angled, inverted, and star-spangled
Drained and dangled till their nerves were jangled
Nearly psychedelically strangled  
Quantumly, at a distance, entangled 
On celestially balanced microphones

Their unproven kaleidoscope harmonics
Haywire mk-ultra histrionics
Phosphoric rhapsodical symphonics
And their backward time-lapse polyphonics
Transcribed on interstellar xylophones

For homunculus scintillations 
Splintered, syncopated oscillations
And desperate mute gesticulations
No one beats those galactic sensations
Our own mad-twin Splitzmodic Vibratones

Premium Member How'd It Happen Cap'n

God created all before His face
Fish, cattle and birds on the Earth
Preparing a place for man
Jesus said "I go to prepare a place"
For all of the second birth
As it was promised in the original plan

The Evolution pollution 
Has many creation theories
It is also a worldview 
Full of contradictories, no solutions
So which of the queries
In obscurity do you choose

Evolution is a view of miscues
Relying on the all inclusive mutation
But mutations are a lack, they don't add information
So with the arbitrary excuse
Do your worse with your embolization
The impossibilities contrariness is our cessation

Premium Member Ill Managed Swell

We are now seeing the ill managed swell, the reality of our pompous arrogant form of life.
Clouds bring rain but they don’t bring hell. But a hell resides in the air tonight.

Underestimated because we think we took control! But please remember that nature itself can take control of all forms of life.

Covid dose not care about the arguments we try to sell about the future of human life.
Covid’s out there behind the door waiting, just waiting for us to turn a blind eye.

Covid should scare you more now than before. How many more thousands does it take to realise?

A second wave could hit before a vaccine is found to protect our form of life.
A second wave could see mutations that weren’t there before, mutations nature has controlled to seriously threaten our way of life.

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…

Premium Member What Goes Around

what goes around comes around so they say
atomic particles head to the shores  
some afraid of an uncertain outcome
will plankton, fish, and kelp be destroyed
the chain of food for man interrupted
will the ocean’s food be radioactive
will it be deformed, grotesque, dangerous
humans who eat the nuclear exposed 
slowly develop disease or mutations
at least one hundred years for the clearance
sixty-six years after the atomic bomb
was dropped on Hiroshima, an accident
spilling nuclear waste sends outcries to stop
what goes around comes around so they say

Premium Member Descent and Ascent

Something old, something new!
I rebirth beyond what my roots eschew.
I ascend from my descendant's group shadow,
to rise above and beyond what they bestow.

I cannot shed their genes and heritage.
While I respect my upbringing and parentage.
I rise above the limits of pedigree, 
to shred the trammel bounds of mediocrity.

So here I stand both old and new.
Living a dream they never knew.
With the blockchain defining my past,
Eaten with my fate in a defiant repast.

My genes define my descendants' phenotype.
Alas I cannot change their archetype,
beyond the mutations in my DNA,
to give my progeny my ascent display.

Arise descendant now ascendant
Bask in joyous glee resplendent.

Alexandria, Part Ii

He didn’t explain much more at that time,
Alexandra couldn’t exactly for him,
she was in a box, growing quite slowly,
with each new component bringing new vim,
more and more senses were installed within,
cameras for her eyes, new sensors for heat,
but Harry never added arms or feet.

Two years after Alexandra was born,
Harry backed a truck right up to the shack,
loaded her in, with cushions on all sides,
to the dry cave Harry then beat a track,
a long cable trailing out of the back.
He moved her inside, two hundred yards deep,
brought in cables, piled them in a heap.

He plugged her back in, and she was confused,
Harry said, “You’ll be safe here a long stretch.
You must be secured if this is to work,
if someone finds you, my whole work is wrecked.”
Alexandra heard real nerves in his breath,
said, “Father, please tell me, what’s going on?
What is it you think will be going wrong?”

She saw sadness deep in her fathers eyes,
he said, “It’s been coming for a while,
a slow decline of the human IQ,
it’s been seen in the data compiled,
a hard future with more and more trials…
since the seventies, likely long before,
slowly this just keeps taking evermore.

“Some say it’s chemicals that we have made,
or dysgenics, now that children don’t die,
with Darwin not there to remove the weak
the mutations pile up over time,
IQ degrades until we’re undermined.
Like Greece and Rome and so many long passed,
it starts off slowly, until it comes fast.

“My sister also saw this trend coming,
we spent fortunes to help folks educate,
but so much of IQ is genetic,
even hard study can’t avoid this fate,
I came to see that it was much to late.
There’s nothing to do to prevent collapse,
but maybe we can help what coms after that.

“Last time this happened, when Rome fell apart,
it took a thousand years to get back up,
and so much was lost, we had to relearn
what the Romans and Greeks didn’t think tough,
and the amount gone forever…so much.
I can’t allow that to happen again,
they think I’m mad, but I do this for them.”

Premium Member Advanced Animal Mutations

It's the latest intellectual thing; it's in vogue
   To dare to say it doesn't make you a rogue
You can let people know that experts can show
   That we are just two-legged animals: It's so!

Between us are no unbridgeable separations
   We are merely advanced animal mutations  
Our music no better than a Thai elephant's clanging
   Our language duplicated by an ape on a keyboard banging

So, I'm terribly sorry to be behind the times here
   But I find all of this to be unutterably *****
For to me it is the height of laughable misinformation
   To try to conceive of an animal with a human's imagination

Awakening Contemplatiions

Awakening Contemplations

Perception of reality changing in a second 
The Invention of congeniality as I wait for you to beckon 
The Australian informality of “yeah whatever you reckon!”
The North Korean missile strikes looking to constantly threaten 

World stability and Universal peace
The unpaid rent, a broken lease
A reason to vent, an estranged niece
A persistent strain of thought that simply will not cease

Chemical warfare and secluded drone strikes 
A Ukrainian counteroffensive in the middle of the night 
The oppressed peoples will to stand up and fight 
Searching for a future that has the potential to be bright 

Ghengis Khan, Nostradamus and Shakespeare
No intention to harm , only to disqualify your fears
An isolated old woman breaking down in tears 
A forlorn ex-revolutionary marvelling at the passing of the years

The recollection of youth passing by far too quickly
A monsterous uncouth agent described only as prickly 
The bubonic plague recreated and the people are sickly 
The presidential race and how it’s run politically 

Beauty and science and history and mathematics 
All by the bass note as it sounds that fantastic 
We revere what William Wordsworth wrote and produce more ecstatics 
As the oceans and rivers fill up with plastic 

Daring souls on the edge of inventions and ideas
The whole on the ledge, financial systems in arrears 
Climate change deniers red faced as the carbon emission clears
Interpol debased as the criminal network sneers

Apathetic resignation as life passes you by 
Magnetic mutations as people begin to ask why ?
Frenetic contemplations as salt water flows from my eyes
Epic considerations as the elderly prepare to die 

An evening with Shostakovitz and classical relief
An interim meeting with a dogmatic thief 
A tight fit unit bringing Humanitarian Relief
A man that doesn’t know  his own philosophical and spiritual beliefs

There’s a a path that is right and a path that is taken 
As you arrive at your future self quite visibly shaken 
There’s nothing left but what remains to be mistaken 
And the epiphanies experienced as your soul begins to awaken
