Diamonds are worthless, so why be rich or famous?
That gemstone is so common in space, that its just called rain on Neptune and Uranus!
Search the entire universe, and guess what you might not find anywhere?
Wood, beyond earth, it is extremely rare!
Of all the elements, combinations, and things that can possibly ever be
There might not be anything quite as unique as a tree!

Growth RingsI never imagined the present future back when I was a kid Suppose that I did? How could I possibly count all the blessings that rose to the surface? For I found love, security and purpose Beyond all my hopes and dreams A kid from Indianapolis, born with middle class values and means As I approach 50 springs I also can’t imagine myself being nine 1985 seems like such a distant time Even the present sometimes seems hard to understand The hours and days fly by so fast, its more difficult to plan Or imagine what the next future presents will be Like annual rings, recorded beneath the bark of a tree So I’m writing down all my stories to help the future remember me

Perfection is a mythAn unrealized lie that causes folks to just wish Knowing all the unknowns is the pits! Ignorance is bliss! Take a hundred shots, and you're guaranteed to miss! Possibly more than you’d make Think everybody’s better than you, please don’t take that bait! Envy’s the thief of joy, so don’t be a statistic Just do your best, don’t stress and be more realistic If you accept this truth, you’ll evade the fangs of failure’s pain Treat perfection like rabies, or you might just go insane! Even the most talented artists, musicians, and athletes fail more often than not I’d be a hypocrite if I told y’all what you shouldn’t do or ought Perspective, isn’t black is what the kettle called the pot? Those who choose peace or fought Folks who choose to live o... |
8 billion humans and 7 billion ratsThere are more humans on earth than rats! By over a billion in fact That’s 8 billion humans to 7 billion rats But only 700 million cats! Goats, cows, and sheep There are about one billion each Scientists estimate 784 million hogs And approximately 900 million dogs Earth's mammal numbers are small to behold Compared to 20 quadrillion nematodes! Those microscopic roundworms match the number of ants present on our planet Both are double the number of all other insects, but don’t panic! In the oceans, Antarctic Krill number 500 trillion But the deep sea bristlemouth fish many be more than a 20 quadrillion Scientists have only discovered 10 to 20 percent of all life on our planet Now you may start to panic!

Humans vs. PrimatesThe opposable thumbs and will power debates Many surmise as the only lines that separate humans from apes However, I’ll ask just one question without refrain Could 30,000 apes sit in a stadium and enjoy a 2 hour football game? |
Schrödinger’s cat - 1935Both dead and alive, a cat trapped in a box Trapped with a radioactive atom, a hammer, Geiger counter, and vial of poison fastened with locks Theories of quantum mechanics debated in 1935 When Schrödinger and Einstein wrote, to this conclusion they arrived The hammer brakes a glass vial When will radiation spike the Geiger counter’s dial Killing the cat, or not See the paradox? We don’t know the cat’s fate until we open the box Known unknowns, zero, one, or both, fate chose Radiation, nine lives, broken glass, poison, hammer, gravity, who knows? |
UnderstandingPuzzle pieces in an unassembled heap Flipped and grouped to form a boarder neat The frame, the start of one’s belief A collection of unknown shapes defined provides relief How everything is connected, our purpose is to try and fail Colors, patterns, and answers write our life’s tale As more is known than not, and our work is near completion Once our purpose ends, we face deletion. |
