Quote Of The Day: "Females and finances dont mix"
~Rule Of Acquisicion #94
I couldnt agree more, woman+money=trouble and woman+large sums of money=disaster. Then you have woman+man+money=big problems, but most importantly of all man+large sum of money / woman= bankruptcy. Ok, ok this is 100% true but in a lot of cases it does hold true. Of course men have their fare share of financial problems but I am a man and this is MY blog so ill just ignore that and not talk about that side of it. No, im not kidding I really am going to ignore it, this isnt an essay and I definately dont have to be fare or cater to both sides. For those of you who havent noticed, and I know at least 1 of you have, I've been using Star Trek quotes a lot. Why? Well mostly because I love Star Trek, and yeah im a bit of a trekkie, I have Trek ringtones on my cell phone (541-290-4752).
So lately Ive felt somewhat inspired to do more writing, although it hasnt been on my novel its been for poetry. And ill eventually post the poetry in the archives but for now ill just slap them in here for the time being. So without further ado I give you two new poems, handcrafted by yours truly.
Moses Cries
In winters fire the heavens bloomed,
life radiated its blessed gift upon the world,
but in our garden of forever we sought escape.
Though the path be long, and the price terrible,
we planted within ourselves the fruit of damnation
and it grew stronger each day obscuring our eyes,
for its flowers are heavily pollinated and we all have its allergy.
There are those who speak of saviors from above
or pledge to those below for salvation but…….
it is we few who know the truth,
the truth of the power within each of us.
Not some ancient faith, or prayer to beings beyond
but a belief in ourselves, salvation through self redemption.
Unto our fellows we must pledge our faith, together as one race
so that the universe may tremble at our mighty feet,
the very cosmos bend to the singular will of our individuals.
Place your faith not in your creator, or on your judge.
Instead place it in who and what you are so you may lift us all.

The Freedom Of Religion
We are gathered here today to pay tribute,
tribute to a fallen comrade, but mostly to a friend
Here, on his field of battle, we lay him to rest
mindful of the joy he brought to us in life,
mindful of the joy he brings our hearts even in death,
and especially mindful of his sacrifice for us.
Saddened are we, not by his loss, but by our loss of him
for he now knows no pain, no sorrow.
Indeed today is a great day for him
for today his energy is given back unto our earth,
his body returned to the soil from whence it came,
and the wisdom of his mind released to the cosmos.
Parts of him live on in our memories and in our hearts
These pieces of him in each of us form a whole,
so that he is never truly gone until we are.
So long as each of us live, so to does he.
Treasure yourselves and give glory to all mankind,
ignore your gods, for it is we that truly how sway,
and command the forces of life and death.
For so long as even one of us lives
then none truly die and we are immortal,
everlasting in our own grace,
free from the shackles of our gods.
