Science
has brought
us closer
to the edge of our oblivion
Nuclear fission
angel dust
processed foods
and smog
Two steps forward
ten steps back
ennobling every dirty fact
as children choke and cry
There’s one award
the Swede’s leave out
that’s missing
on their dais
The Nobel Prize
for mass destruction
as progress masquerades
— unchecked
(Sweden: May, 2008)
Having a child is a big decision.
They might be powered by nuclear fission.
I, too, was once a child, as I recall.
One thing you can count on - they are small.
You made the right choice
Sign right here, be a pal, oh..
One more thing can I ask?
Though I know I seem shallow..
Could you just click a like?
Or a heart, that would do
I don't wish to impose, but
It makes our friendship SO true
Then I'll visit as well
Send our numbers to maximal
I do love you and this is
In no way transactional
You can stroke me and hug me
With your words affirmational
My reply will be Shakespearean
Or at least dissertational
When we're done with our tags
Or the half dozen kisses
With the hearts and the stars
Loaded high with best wishes
We can sleep safe and sound
As with nuclear fission
There's nothing to fear
From our popularity mission
xxxxxx
We yearn for the day
when armies become arm-ease
Knowing it to be a fool's mission ~
the planet glowing from nuclear fission
No matter what anyone says to the contrary
I firmly believe in miracles, not the divine kind
Turning plain water into fine wine, necessarily,
But seeing a newborn deer first learning to run
A deaf child hearing sound for the very first time
A spectacular natural eclipse of the morning sun,
Tests confirming a dreadful disease is in remission
Watching an unfolding rosebud flare out in full bloom
Imagining complex formulas proving nuclear fission.
Miracles are often showing up in the smallest feat
Coming when least expected--in a windfall, a bonus
Or, just when we had given up all hope in defeat,
Victories over those formidable obstacles, you see,
Are identifiable, verifiable, bonafide miracles to me.

Oh my God they’re carrying the soil..!
From my precious planet fertile
It seems their homeland is of no use
Now they are at my home abuse
Thus their abode is full of pollution
Unfit to stay and survive in motion
After many a nuclear fission
Their planet has lost its fruition
Now hell-bent on my planet Earth
They’ve come to exploit the earth 8
Let me get into the action swift
By alerting my Interpol Hist …!
This is my earth and I love it
In no way I let aliens steal it
For it’s the land of my predecessors
And made fertile by my ancestors
We earth-dwellers are unique men
We live and let others live in den
Peace keeping has been our virtue
Violence and greed we hate true 9
The moment I want to dial a number
I woke up and amazed at the wonder
Thus it’s a dream and not reality
My earth is always my property
Now to protect it is my duty
And maintain its evergreen beauty
I understood I should be careful
Making my earth a clean place full
Let me plant trees in abundance
As there’s no 2nd Earth in distance..10
I've often been accused of mass exSTINKtion
Too much fiber can cause violent ignition
Clear the decks
Protect your pets
Bad stuff can happen during nuclear fission
the ether is alive with oscillations
pulsations and electric frequencies
satellite and shortwave intonations
invisible, yet carried on the breeze
neutrinos and photonic modulations
infrared and x-rays, promptly spun
ultraviolet streams and applications
gamma rays and ions from the sun
ozone filled with radio transmission
microwaves pass thru us constantly
the residues of past nuclear fission
all that we have yet perceived to "be"
I've always had an issue with believing
the paranormal "ghosts" phenomenon
yet, with all the atmosphere's receiving
who am I to say what's here ... or gone?

A Word in Time
Minds expanding souls are demanding our existence through resistance
Searching stars the Moon and Mars with no assistance for the distance
Hemispheres facing fears launching rockets of insistence for coexistence
Dimensions and apprehensions with juvenile persistence in subsistence
~~~~
The word in transition thru hyperspace echoes in time to soon efface
With nuclear fission to start the race the future is hear we all embrace
Science the new religion full of grace our consciousness it shall replace
With black holes in position that will displace ideas of the human race
~~~~
Speed of light acoustical Angels in futuristic flight science at Godspeed
~~~~
Absorbing the now we accept and we bow and thus compliant to heed
~~~~
For Science fiction our new addiction under rule and consuming creed
~~~~
Cygnus x-1 will devour our sun a nebulous dust we will eventually bleed.

Fire
Fire burns using and exhausting fuel,
If furious, outrageous and cruel,
Rigorous flames can even destroy furnace.
Enchanting flares in blazing elegance.
Hydrogen is burning in the fire ball Sun.
Molecules break into those of Helium.
Reaction is nothing but Nuclear Fission.
Nuclear explosion follows at random.
Friction of dry leaves or twigs causes forest fire.
Instant ignition can lead devastating turbulence.
Frightened animals, prey or killer flee together.
Fire is extinguished slowly, natural occurrence.
Fire of mind chases fear raising drooping head higher,
boosting heart, strengthening soul, fire the purifier.
I feel like doing a math on how many times
you laugh and smile when you are around me.
Your beauty is like rocket science - I can't
yet understand how you are so angelic!
The warmth of your kiss on my lips
is like nuclear fission- my body bursts with
so much energy to light the sky like day!
Poet’s Dozen Solely Solar
White sun ray splits in
Seven colors in rainbow
The visible spectrum
Colors of visible portion appear in sequence as VIBGYOR
Invisible ultra-violet, infra-red rays are not to ignore
Life in Earth and Mother Nature all are nurtured
And blessed by abundant energy, solely solar
Sun is blazing with hydrogen burning constantly turning to helium
Devastating chemical reaction is termed as Nuclear Fission
No special event occurs as same cycle is followed by stars at random
Sun is only ordinary star among billion and billion
Tiny in Cosmos, as sand particle in Sahara holds its position

Memo To The Cosmos
Speak softly to your children in their billions
Burning stars and planets planted in the dark
Avoid the void with colors you created
Started in the garden of your heart
Watered with the tears of ages parted there
Shared with the cosmic dust in their parade of days
The Great Animator of antimatter who made us all
Calls to you on the winds in angular momentum
Remember to always care
Absolute zeroes walk hand in hand
Deceleration parameters of the dark matter clamor
Cajole all things from nothing, shakes them into life
Remember cosmos, to close your eyes
In the explosions, reds and whites, blinding lights
Knit them into place
Ponder nuclear fission
House the gravity of souls with every hour
Sit on the emission distance. String the theories
Stitch them together
Inertia reminds you where you are today
Drift with it in silent vectors distance
Take inertia to heart
To the stars, to your little ones, your little heroes
Calculated by their zeroes
Take this memo to the Cosmos
Be light
Try not to be absorbed while being born
Remember that familiar old saying
“Let your wind blow free”
Well I've thought of a much better idea
Beneficial to you and me
The methane gas we produce each day
Could fuel factories for hours
They could install a crepitating room
They'll need a bunch of flowers
You may think I'm obsessed with farts
And other bodily emissions
But the huge benefits could even rival
The power of nuclear fission
No more problem with soiled Jockeys
It would stop the stains in your pants
And possibly be a way to finally alleviate
Those horrible nighttime cramps
The future shortage of fossil fuels
Would no longer worry mankind
All the world's economies would flourish
As this product comes on line!
