OK, how many of you fabulous femmes, or gay guys, want to jerk him off after reading that poem?  :eek: :winkle: :biggrin2:
There is nothing more frightful than ignorance in action.

If God Exists, Why Does He Pretend Not to Exist?

This is actually from an earlier version, but I think I prefer this phrasing:

Sunlight shining on my face,
Just arrived from outer space,
Moving very fast,
Beyond the blue.

I tweaked it some more this morning, mainly to get the rhythm better.

“Beyond the Blue”
Solomon Zorn


Sunlight shining on my face,
Just arrived from outer space,
Moving very fast,
Beyond the blue.

Crossed a distance to the Earth,
More than seven times its girth,
In a second passed,
Beyond the blue.

If you were to time its course,
From the sun, its blazing source,
Minute eight surpassed,
Beyond the blue.

Pondering the sky at night,
Nearest neighbor shone it's light,
Four years in the past,
Beyond the blue.

Far beyond those shining spheres,
Looking back so many years,
Galaxies amassed,
Beyond the blue.

Stars that seem to have no end,
Can a human comprehend?
Space is truly vast,
Beyond the blue.

I love it. I'm a fan of space science and that sort of thing. I went to the dermatologist a couple months ago. He had a whole mess of space paintings and information. Really awesome was a stage by stage detailing of the conception of the solar system and GASP! The Earth is not 6,000 years old! WHAT LIBERAL PROPAGANDA!
It took science to do what people imagine God can do.

There is no god,
There is no Jeeze.
You're free to do
Whate'er you please.

Here's a little ditty I just typed:

the ultimate cabal



when they divide us - black from white
when they divide us - left from right

when they divide us - sick from healthy
when they divide us - poor from wealthy

when they divide us - gay from straight
when they divide us - church from state

when they divide us - far from near
when they divide us - hope from fear

when they divide us - faith from facts
when they divide us - from their golden stacks

then they'll have us kill each other
then the rest of life will surely smother

then they will have conquered all
and will become the ultimate cabal
God Not Found

If you liked that one, you might like this one, that I wrote since then:


"The True Sky"
By Solomon Zorn


We look

Staring up at blue illusion
Witness heavenly deception
Hiding realms beyond our vision
Color filters our perception

We see

Background hue for puffy masses
Painted with a vapor palette
On a canvas made of gasses
High above our verdant planet

We wait

Sunset watchers wax emotive
Curtains part in revelation
Nightfall brings the true perspective
Darkness holds illumination

We learn

As the haze is disappearing
Gazing deep into the distance
Products of our  engineering
Scan the cosmos with persistence

We search

Past the atmosphere's distortion
Far beyond mankind's dominion
Sights of such sublime description
Stars that number in the billions

We yearn

Implementing innovations
Meant to move our limits forward
Breaks the bonds of gravitation
Thrusting human beings upward

We reach

Rocket riders feeling fearless
Blasting through the azure ceiling
Walking on the lunar surface
Make the sky a human dwelling

We grasp

Solomon, you aught to be a poet! :)   You are very good!
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?

Solomon Zorn

Thanks, Mike! I will be posting a few more in the next half hour, so watch for them!

This is a poem in a classic form, called a "Roundel." I wrote it for a contest (I'll let you guys know if I win anything).

"Unspoken Objection"
Solomon Zorn


Keep it quiet, spare your speaking
When extremist words exhibit
Notions that deserve debunking
Keep it quiet

Rantings of a biased bigot
Unenlightened ways of thinking
Issue from some mental midget

Callous comments he is squawking
Push my patience to the limit
Held in check until I'm choking
Keep it quiet



If anyone is interested in writing one in this form, just google it, and you'll see how. I added the meter and alliteration, just for fun. The form doesn't require it.

These next two were for another contest. They are done in a classic form called, "Villanelle."

"Mutton"
Solomon Zorn



I'll no longer be a willing sheep
     For the shepherd leading us astray
Like the faithful flock of Miss Bo-Peep

Followers who have the faith to leap
     Trust the shepherd never to betray
I'll no longer be a willing sheep

Mother prays a little soul to keep
     As the shepherd takes a lamb away
From the passive flock of Miss Bo-Peep

Building on a hill that's tall and steep
     Room where hanging knives and cleavers sway
I'll no longer be a willing sheep

Hunger craves the tender flesh to reap
     Bleating won't this final act forestay
Nor spare the fated flock of Miss Bo-Peep

Mutton is expensive, life is cheap
     Soon the butcher's blade will end the play
I'll no longer be a willing sheep
Like the faithful flock of Miss Bo-Peep





"Appeasement"
Solomon Zorn


Go call the righteous gathering
     The church bell tolls at twelve o'clock
So let us bind the offering

The cause of recent suffering
     Will all your godly senses shock
Go call the righteous gathering

His actions were dishonoring
     He's made our town a laughingstock
So let us bind the offering

The people all are clamoring
     Bring forth the sinner to the block
And call the righteous gathering

The judge's voice is thundering
     "They caught him sucking on a cock!"
So let us bind the offering

Appeasement is empowering
     Let's bash his head in with a rock
Before the righteous gathering
May God approve our offering



Once again, I added a meter to the required form, so that it flow more smoothly.

I do hope you win, fine sir.

A dark cloud looms over.
Festive cheer does not help much.
What is this, "Justice?"

Solomon Zorn

Thanks, D. There's some stiff competition, but I'm hoping to, at least, place.

Well, Solomon, if you don't win, then the contest must be rigged.
Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able?<br />Then he is not omnipotent,<br />Is he able but not willing?<br />Then whence cometh evil?<br />Is he neither able or willing?<br />Then why call him god?
