Believing is Seeing

Believing is seeing
Is not what we’re taught
So our lives then remain
Chained to reason
Through thought
If the chain you can break
Light will reign
Not the dark
In a world that is born
Not of mind
But of heart

Finding Out

If
finding out where you are
Is the first step to knowing
Where you are going
-Finding out who you are
Is the first step to knowing
How you might get there

The Big Bang -v- The Big Doughnut Theory MkIII (Or what happens when a Big Doughnut Spins)

To be read following: THE BIG DOUGHNUT THEORY MKII (Or THE LONG SAUSAGE ROLL THEORY) Now, those Sausage Rolls without their sausage Their pastry long, and smooth and glossy Described how there had never (EVER) been The need for a - “BIG BANG” - To start this mess that we’re in (THE UNIVERSE!) - In fact I can think of nothing much worse Than a “BIG BANG” to start off a whole Universe! - Therefore, and in keeping with my original theory (Regarding the general distribution of matter) Without any need for a “BIG BANG” TO SPLATTER' - Our cosmic dust into a great space (That had waited how long?) For this event to take place I return to my doughnut The original plan (Remember the type with a hole, and no jam) But to make it much clearer (ie the system we’re in) I have added another element; - REVOLUTION (or SPIN) - For if our doughnut were of - “UNIVERSAL” - Proportions In the form of a vacuum with matter within - (analogy DOUGH) - In view of it’s totally enormous - CIRCUMFERENCE - It’s speed could then vary - (IF IT WERE TO SPIN) - For when “Spun” on it’s axis at slow revolutions It’s centre could seem to be totally still Whilst an object attached to it’s outer circumference Much faster than light might travel - UNTIL - The dough at it’s surface grew darker and darker (Just like night) As it's speed prevented the escape of all - LIGHT - I would then suggest that this may be the answer For the reason there exists such a mass of - “DARK MATTER” - Though It Does not result from ANY - “BIG SPLATTER” - But merely because; - WHEN A BIG DOUGHNUT SPINS - Light cannot escape - SO SOME BITS GO DIM ! - So you see (Although on the EDGE you will not) - POSITION - Determines our SPEED in this plot And as SPEED is as TIME (Just in case you’d forgot) The “SPIN” is the reason; WE ARE and NOT NOT! - Egal Bohen March 2008

These poem’s words
Through lines
Lead to
The poets mind
Who wrote
His thoughts
Down
Just for you
He did not ask
That you should find
His verse was good
Just true
Be kind

Perception

Ghosted images
Not light
Move through
Our blinded sightless night
Motion
Out of vision’s line
Detected energy
Outlined
The basis of a world
Defined
Perception without light
Unseen
Perception that is real
Not dream

Essential Imagination

In nights of no wind
When just animals speak
From the hills to the valleys
Shadowed so deep
A river like silk
Runs silent and dark
Over boulders of gold
That lie in it’s path
Through forests of emerald
Growing tall on it’s banks
Past glades softly silvered
Where Unicorns prance
To cliffs where the river
Falls ravaged and torn
To the plains far beneath
Where a new world is born
Dim lit by a Moon
Is this land of the fawn
Where gossamer wings
It seems are the norm
For faeries at peace
That in flowers do lie
Are a reason perhaps
That we all want to fly
Yet who could not see
Such a mythical place
(As Shakespeare imagined)
Where time has no place
Is the food for our minds
An infusion of grace
Imagined
Essential
Should you wish to escape
There are many such rooms
In your mind

You may make

Dreams in a Box

As dreams in a box
We live out our lives

-
Aware of ourselves

-
Our worlds distance derived

-
Though horizons may come
And horizons may go
In boxes we stay

-
Trapped by Time
In it’s flow

-
Our decisions decide
Where that box with our name
May travel the system
Will move

or

Remain

-
Escape is uncertain

-
We have to be blind

-
To the world, as we know it

For it’s all in the mind
