SURMISE I & II

      Some tragic events inspire people to surmise,
      Unduly expatiating occurrences,
      Recklessly retelling some person's demise
     More palatable to the media's audiences.
      I have read conflicting reports on Gadhafi,
     Supposedly like a dog begging for mercy--
     Except that there are stories of conspiracy...!    



   (Query:  His captors could have easily killed him with
      their weapons; why did they go to the trouble of shooting
      him with his own 'golden' gun,,.or was it Gadhafi's 
      bodyguard who shot him?)



       Some government leaders may have information--
       Unanticipated global devastation
       Really could occur by December, 2012.
      Mayhap that prophesied event would also solve,
       Indeed all nations' huge debts- totally absolve.
       So sorry if our Earth becomes a burnt hors d'oeuvre;
       Extirpation may be what many fools deserve.
      

     (''...many fools"--like us, of course.  And perhaps, that Mayan
       doomsday event would make Uncle Sam's
       15 trillion USD debt uncollectible.)  
 

No Saint

                  Delving again into the subatomic world where a mere drop of human blood contains trillions of various kinds of quanta, it would seem that our skin cannot totally prevent these subatomic particles from  escaping out of our bodies. Furthermore, some people have the ability to sense or perceive the energy of these quanta. Healers feel or detect the difference between an ailing person and one who is hale and untroubled, The aura of the sick person is faint, hardly detectable, while the latter has a brightly shining, radiating, maybe even corruscating or oscillating bursts of energy around him. Halos on or around the heads of saints might be because the keener 'sight' of the painters do see (or did see) these luminescent phenomena crowning these holy personages' heads.
                 I just looked at the mirrror to check. No halo there that I could see. But then, I am no saint...

Various 'Centric' Perceptions

         Cosmic perceptions vary, as note:-
The Early Church was geocentric,
Copernicus and Galileo heliocentric,
Most infants 'matercentric',
Modern man usually anthropocentric,
Some scientists imagine the multiverse
       like onion rings--concentric,
Poets & philosophers are eccentric,
Then as we age, we become 'Deicentric'...

     (And God be with you, too.)

Hone Your Skills

                Have you a special skill that few can do,
                Or a unique talent that God gave you?
                No need to waste the gifts He has given;
                Endeavor to use them to enliven
                Your family and friends, your neighbors, too;
                Out from its hiding place the secret brew,
                Uncork that bottle of wine within you!
                Rare treasures bestowed to the gifted few
                Should be shown and shared, not hidden from view.
                Know that capacities rust, if unused;
                Immobile limbs and joints soon become fused.
                Let patient practice reach dexterity,
                Love your labor and rise to artistry;
                Share God's gifts gladly--with humility.
              

INTERFAITH

                It is now time for differing faiths to agree
             ( No matter by what name we call the Almighty)
                That there is but One First Cause, One God for us all.
                Earth, man's home in God's vast cosmos, is indeed small;
                Reason, therefore, should among all nations govern.
                For mere land strips, shall we let the whole planet burn?
                Allah, Jehovah, Bathala, Our Creator
                Is no race or religion Discriminator...
               Then why has not the Dove of Peace our world adorned?
              "Heav'n hath no greater sorrow than Tolerance scorned!"

A Human Soul

                              A gnostic claims his soul will never die,
                              He says he is immortal; he does not lie.
                              Using science-fact, it can't be denied
                              Man as matter-energy has defied
                              A total dissolution of being.
                              Non-local quanta cannot be 'nothing'.
                              So even if we cannot find or measure
                              Our vaunted soul, our invisible treasure
                              Undisputably links us to God's dimension...
                              Let us act with care lest there be link malfunction.
                           

MYSTERY

            Mind over matter seems improbable;
            Yet I myself have had experiences
            Somehow proving the unbelievable,
            Though some would maintain odd occurrences
            Explainable as coincidences.
            Recall how I just 'thought' I'd pass the Bar..?
            You, too, can move the Rock of Gibraltar!
