Time of Problems

*There was a time, once, when man walked the Earth.  His mind was full, confused, running full of distractions.  He lacked the capacity to solve large eqautions, large problems in his head.  It was necessary for him to use tools to complete or accomplish his tasks.  There were too many emotions in him, condemning him to certain failure.  He was weak. *Then a man came by the name of C206-Q25-R7110. …

Essence

I float, if that is the word to be used.  Lifeless, and yet eternal.  Neither space not time have meaning to me now.  If I were to look, I would see an infinite expanse of stars, planets, galaxies  stretching out before me.  This is my domain now, here amongst the myriad flows of gasses and energies, all beyond the wildest human imagination. I am energy.  Anywhere I wish to travel,…

The Bout of the Century II: The Final Solution

In a large dark cave lived one called Goblin, And he enjoyed it, for he was alone. When one bright day, with a skip-and-a jump, Came wandering in the one called Gnome. Gnome liked the cave much, and with a shove of his thumb, Told goblin he’d best soon be leavin’. Goblin gave a great sneer, bearing his yellow-brown teeth, And a very wicked stick started heavin’. The stick was…

The Bout of the Century

The two combatants slowly circled, One named Ogre, one named Orc. All around the land fairly whirled, And they swung their weapons with incredible torque. Ogre swung, caused Orc to dodge, And Ogre’s club went whistling by. Then Ogre’s club in a tree did lodge When an arrow went flying by. It missed completely that arrow sure did, But really caused Orc to frown. So then did Orc’s massive hammer…

Nation

N A T I O N AS A CHILD WAS I TAUGHT, THE FLAG: WHITE, FOR THE HONOR OF OUR MEN; BLUE, FOR THEIR COURAGE; RED, FOR THE BLOOD THAT WAS SPILT. WHY? THESE LESSONS, WHAT DO THEY MEAN TO OUR COUNTRY NOW? I CANNOT SEE ANY OF THIS… …EXCEPT BLOOD. DOG EATS DOG. WHY DO I EVEN TRY TO DO ANY RIGHT? BECAUSE…I CANNOT STAND THE LIES.
