A Better World

The pendulum flies with so little effort.
Everyone’s vision catches a different spectrum of time.
We may all live on earth in what seems to be the same dimension,
but we see different degrees of separation between the wavelengths,
and dream in different colors of the rainbow.

Is it a good idea to designate positions to maintain order?
If only everyone could catch the draft and ride in the wind tunnel.
The world is changing like a kaleidoscope spun in double-time,
making everything else seem to be
stuck inside an irrelevant time dilation.

There is something wrong with the world today.
So much hate, and too many people being betrayed.
So many just want to hide away.
What used to be green is turning grey.
Pills and guns causing so much dismay in the good ol’ USA.

Dollars are flying and people are dying.
Peace & love through superior fire power!
How can we nurture love on a mountain of bones?
We need a new generation of people who understand,
and we need politicians who will listen to philosophers,
and lead us in the direction of a better world.

EARTH

Far into the bowels of Mother Earth, the deeper you go, the hotter it gets.
In the center of the earth, 4000 miles deep,
there is a massive 85% iron, 15% nickel solid metal ball 800 miles thick.
This monstrous ball of solid mass reaches temperatures of 13,000 degrees F.
Did you ever roast marshmallows over a campfire?
Campfires are about 900 degrees by comparison, hot enough to melt lead.
Beyond this atrocious center ball core, there’s a river,
1400 miles across, of liquid metal pouring,
in perfect centrifugal motion around the core.
A molten sea as thick as the distance from Niagara Falls to Miami,
pouring a river, 1400 miles across, of constantly revolving hot liquid metal,
around this magnificent 800 mile thick solid 13,000-degree mega hot solid ball.
The math involved in computing the density, and the pressure, and the gravity,
and to be able to see it all working like a clock in your mind, how every detail,
all had to work, just the way it did,
for billions of years, to get us too exactly where we are today.
After the big bang, gravity collected stuff scattered across the universe,
about 1800 miles deep, all the way around the top of this molten sea,
pulling together space dust, containing all the elements we have today,
to finally, after several billion years, develop the rest of this extraordinary EARTH.

To What End

To what end do the rich accomplish in high society.
Would it be a chosen path after experience on the
outside looking in, or the future, looking back.
Some people analyze, some people rationalize,
and others criticize and patronize.
Who is to say what is right and wrong?
So many laws; man’s law, God’s law, the laws of the jungle,
the laws of nature, the laws of physics, civil law,
paternal law, maternal law, money laws, criminal law, constitutional law, corporate law, family law, and many more. This world is so messed up, we need family law to settle disputes, and other matters. SMH Shouldn't family be sacred?
Think of how much good Governments could do if we could trust.
Why can’t human beings trust one another?
I estimate the world spends 2 trillion dollars
a year on “Military Madness”.
Isn’t there something we could do to the mad Russian
to get him to go home and leave Ukraine alone.
Could we maybe send the marines to Darfur to stop the madness?
Why do we interfere in the Middle East,
but stay away from the madmen killing children in Sudan?
Could I get a congressman to give me a call?
I want to understand.
