A Poem: The World in Which We Find Ourselves In - Fantasy exists to console the poor soul who's discontent with his present reality. Like milk dripping from a foot, it seems to be void of meaning. But oh, how I wish how we all wish. We can't seem to wrap our heads around the apparent cold existence that we must all suffer.... Existential Poem: Streams of Consciousness - Assume the worst in people, for grief is better than laughter. The world cries from the catacombs of its flowerbed; a cacophony emanating from between the sheets. The rivers rejoice because the lech has finally died after years of maligning the stars. The celestial bodies mourn the passing of the earth and all its inhabitants, for the stars love us more than life itself.... A Poem: The State of the World - I can smell a delicate sense of decay on your breath. I don't understand why you put it there, and I can't figure out why you don't remove it.

Your injuries are chickens blood. And of course, it's the kind of stuff that he always feeds upon.... Enjoy More - I had lot more to enjoy than to loose Between the devil and good I had to choose.

The Philosophical Debate on Free Will - The philosophical debates on free will have been the basis of conflict for many generations. Quite possibly, ever since the world found the concept of religion. The important thing is to listen to both sides of the argument and to try to understand how people on either side of the debate might feel. They may be right and they may be wrong. The only way to really tell is to listen closely to both sides of the debate and gain more understandings. One of the biggest problems in the world has always been that people don't listen enough and don't even try to gain any understandings of someone else's point of view. Free will can be a great thing. No restrictions on anything accept what one personally finds inappropriate. However, one must understand the religious, spiritual, and philosophical beliefs of others and understand that especially people who follow an organized religion can't help but feel that many things that the majority of people find to be casual recreation is actually somethi...

I know it sounds like mumbo-jumbo to some, but it's real. If you don't know how to get in touch with nature, you can start by walking through the woods or by a lake and blessing everything you see (that nature produced). I, myself, walk by the lake and say: "Blessed are the trees", "Blessed is the water", "Blessed are all creatures who are part of nature." When one does this for a long time it can help one to develop a better relationship with nature and soon it will be no problem to write a poem about nature....
