Leaving Behind Armageddon

I do not want to plot my thoughts
against another generations demise,
hoard gold, buy stocks in silver mines.
If I view it all like
a body,
where are the blood lines
and what is the oxygen?
Can you see it from that view
each of us pumping our thoughts
into to this giant organism
and deciding what we will
make happen?
Can you see it
swelling and contracting
like a heart
like a heartbeat
kicking out new born
souls and aberrations.
What if we are doing that
and being watched?
What if there is some
saline solution
that we savor ourselves in?

In 9th grade
three things happened to me.
I realized that though taught
to name, maybe we don't
see the same color
looking at red or blue or green.
Or maybe twelve inches
is a yard for you
or a different math system
would work better.
And, that the most important things
were not the atoms, waves or particles
but the space between.

Truth Or Consequencies

I wrote this essay as a comment to articles on the following site: http://www.becker-posner-blog.com/archives/2007/02/ One might not think so, but there is a relationship, between trans fat, global warming and the drunk driving issue. Unfortunately, I think that the problem has to do with education. These days in school, we are so afraid to step on someone's toes, so we avoid teaching morals in school, and why should we? Are you shocked? Read further. It has always seemed quite interesting to me that no one can come up with a simple means to start teaching community, integrity, self responsibility and the like to young children from their very first textbooks. I don't see that the word God has to be in there or in order to do that. All great religions teach a core of values that cross borders. There are values that are there in the constitution and the creation of America . By the way, a constitution created by people (whether or not you want to call it a dem
