I OPENED A DOOR
IN THE UNIVERSE ,
THAT DOESN'T EXIST ,
AND NEVER EXISTED.
I FOUND MYSELF STANDING ,
IN THE OCTAGON ,
OF THE IMAGINATION.
UNDERSTANDING THAT
IMAGINATION IS ESSENTIAL ,
TO UNLEASHING OUR TRUE
POTENTIAL , I UNLEASHED
MY CURIOSITY OF IMAGINATION
IN EVERY DIRECTION.
IN SEARCH OF WISDOM
AND KNOWLEDGE.
UNDERSTANDING
I AM NOT THE FATHER
OF SOLIPSISM.
I AM NOT THE CENTER
OF THE UNIVERSE NOR AM I
THE CREATOR.
IF THE ABILITY TO THINK
IS A MENTAL ABILITY ,
THE INABILITY TO THINK
BECOMES A MENTAL DISABILITY.
IF IMAGINATION IS THE SIMPLEST
FORM OF THINKING ,
THE INABILITY TO IMAGINE
MAKING A DECISION
WITHOUT THINKING FIRST ,
IS NO DIFFERENT
THAN THE INABILITY TO THINK.
CONFORMITY IS NOT
THINKING FOR YOURSELF.
IT'S ALLOWING OTHERS
TO THINK FOR YOU.
AS IF YOU DO NOT HAVE
THE ABILITY TO THINK
FOR YOURSELF.
SO THE REAL DIFFERENCE
BETWEEN THE SO CALLED
HAVES AND THE HAVE NOTS ,
GOES BEYOND THE
BARRICADES OF IMAGINATION
WHEN YOU THINK ABOUT IT.
BEWARE THE IMAGINATION
DISGUISED AS FANTASY
LIVING A LIFE OF VISUALIZATION
IN A REALITY THAT DOES NOT
EXIST.

Study of meaning in numbers: numerology
Study of "Theos" or God: Theology
Keep them far apart, still they love 1 and 3
Does numerology espouse a timeless theology?
II
Father, Son, and Spirit have a trifold duty
One into Three; One God but PERSONS three
It rings true, but befuddles mental ability
To explain when hearts grasp the subtlety
III
From time immemorial, humans ignored "2"
Adam and Eve allowed another, father of Lies (TRUE!)
Happier couples want Number 3, a baby,
Otherwise two would be as famous as 1 and 3
IV
Why is it there are THREE tries & 3 STRIKES usually?
And people insist there is but ONE God, not many!
Even wise Hindus worship The UNITY in Godly diversity
Like seeing two stars in 1 Quasar, distorted by dark gravity

ABSENCE
Pay attention to the unavailability,
the unavailability is the most missing inconvenience of all.
Does the unavailability make you shiver?
does it?
A presence, however hard it tries,
Will always be availability.
Does the presence make you shiver?
does it?
When I think of the inability, I see a lack of mental ability.
Incompetence, incompetence, incompetence.
Just like a want, is the paucity.
Dearth. dearth, dearth.
I saw the the emptiness need of my generation destroyed,
How I mourned the deficiency.
Does the deficiency make you shiver?
does it?

Part 2
Memorize times table
Music is a great tool
Multiply and divide
Mastery is child’s pride
More Math operations
Made no more confusion
Miss Len’s innovations
Part 3
Miss Len was the teacher
Math problems made easier
Measurements- they did top
Merit badge since the start
More mental snappy drills
Maximized all their skills
Master key to their dreams

Death of an Answer
Written: by Tom Wright
February 2015
Abandoned, by time,
In pre-dawn hours, I sit meditating,
My mind being brushed, by recurring thoughts,
Of things hidden from sight,
Which come un-summoned.
I lapse into the profundity of silence
Thinking, perchance,
This time might see variety,
But distressing thoughts and my unknowns,
Forever appear to tote with them,
No answers with irrefutable resolution;
So, I remain engulfed in this sea of thought
Without mental ability to alter;
Athletes of intellect ponder difficult questions
Cortex’s quiver to cerebral suggestions
A genius theorises with a deepening frown
Well, how come my toast always lands face down?
Quantum conundrums confoundingly dreary
Cynical scientists dismiss a new theory
A mastermind clutches his head in distress
Well, if a crab has no shell, is it naked or homeless?
Wisdom, the child of mental ability
Science, the offspring of cranial agility
Empirical evidence so hard to collate
Well, why does sour cream have an expiry date?
