Our spirits spoke to upwards soar,
That sudden bliss I so adore.
Our hearts did meet
And we did greet;
Friends of ages past before.

The Prophet
I am as old as time eternal,
the light that existed
Before the genesis.
God's Elias,
existence's herald.
Your hopes and dreams
and deepest fears
all embodied in me.
I have witnessed the evolution of humans
and the decadence of their society.
The putrid fumes of my ire
and alluring perfumes of my bliss
call to you,
To topple you like I did
Ozymandias.

The Mormon Gaia Hypothesis
Gaia, the supreme Greek goddess of the earth.
I suppose we do not know the name of the earth but Gaia certainly is a beautiful name; I believe Mother Earth would be honored if we called her Gaia.
You see, Mormons believe the earth is alive, she is a living breathing, independent being - this may come as a surprise to some Mormons, but it is Mormon doctrine. The Mormon scriptures contain a slightly different version of the first two books of Enoch (the books of Enoch are now considered apocryphal books in most versions of the Bible). In the LDS (Mormon) scriptures the earth actually speaks, the experience was enough to make the prophet Enoch weep:
Moses 7:48 Reads,
And it came to pass that Enoch looked upon the earth; and he heard a voice from the bowels thereof, saying: Wo, wo is me, the mother of men; I am pained, I am weary, because of the wickedness of my children. When shall I rest, and be cleansed from the filthiness which is gone forth out of me? When will my Creator sanctify me, that I may rest, and righteousness for a season abide upon my face?
The earth spoke to Enoch. Mormon doctrine is that the earth is alive and is an intelligent entity.
There is more evidence for this in the Doctrine and Covenants. Section 88 contains great information (http://scriptures.lds.org/en/dc/88) verses 17 - 20, 25 - 27.
Open your eyes. Realize that your very scriptures say that the earth is a living, breathing being. Stop destroying her; not only should you respect Gaia but also all of God's creations. Verse 25 of Doctrine and Covenants 88 reads:
And again, verily I say unto you, the earth abideth the law of a celestial kingdom, for it filleth the measure of its creation, and transgresseth not the law—
How many of you can say that you "transgress not the law"? Destroying mother nature can be likened to sinisterly harming a fellow human; they are both creations of God and you do not know what you are destroying except that to harm the earth is to harm a being that, in a sense, is greater than you because it has never disobeyed God. How many of you can claim that?
This raises an interesting perspective about hunting, eating meat, deforestation, etc.
I suppose there is nothing wrong with killing animals for sustenance, but hunting for sport?
Stop what you are doing, it is a direct strike against God.
As ye have done it unto the least of these my brethren ye have done it unto me.
Do not be foolish enough to think that God's other creations are not included in that scripture.

Old Poems
my heart, Blackened by love
Her heart is black, Oh What a Shame!
The love, the hope ... 'twas all in vain.
Limerick I
The knight with his large sword,
Bravely rides forth – spread the word!
On to set free the eager damsel
Who has never had a visitor enter her castle.
Together they venture to territory unexplored.
The Cloud
The puffy white cloud,
Gay and lively, always laughing
Floating high atop of the world,
Free from all worries
She playfully flits across the blue sky.
Seeing her antics, one cannot help but to smile.
Yet as time goes on she fills with small raindrops;
Those small knives which she refuses to release.
The sky darkens and thunders, filling the world with anguish,
But it is not as dark as the cloud;
An ugly bloated thing, dark and rumbling she staggers along.
Distress, sorrow, despair permeate from her.
The raindrops, those great tears of hopelessness
Shed because her world is forever dark,
Never will she see light again.
Tears splatter against the street,
The steady drip of her stories and difficult life.
The people seek shelter from the rain,
It seems that no one listens.
One lone stranger stands listening to the rain,
Reveling in the storm.
But he is too insignificant to be noticed by the cloud.
Her heart is black, Oh What a Shame!
The love, the hope ... 'twas all in vain.

Power
My super power would be persuasion.
I had not before realized that I indeed had picked this as my power many years ago.
Plays to my manipulative nature I suppose.

Homeos Nature
Evolution is real and we humans are proof of it. Animals, and humans, evolve physically and individually by genetic mutation; this process takes hundreds of thousands of years to promulgate itself throughout a portion of population and is largely determined by natural selection. Humans, however, have the capacity to evolve differently. Humans diverge from the animal kingdom by not only evolving physically and individually but also intellectually and collectively. While Darwinian evolution is a slow process homo-ontological evolution (that is, evolution restricted to the homo genus) may take place in as little as one generation. Homo-ontological evolution can be dividend into two parts: homo-epistemological (intellectual) and homo-paideus (cultural) evolution.
Think about the poor, the neglected, those beleaguered by poverty and strife. Realize that homo-ontological evolution is a lie. It is an oligarchical process based on the capitalist system. Those who conquer under a capitalist system, as Eduardo Galeano says, do so by the defeat of others. Capitalism relies on the existence of losers, for without them there cannot be a winner; without losers to exploit what would be of the West? Homo-ontological evolution does not exist because it does not encompass the whole of the homo genus. The lie will continue as long as capitalism does.
That plague which we call poverty is simply a by-product of the disease of capitalism.

Carta a una amante
Te espero, aunque no sé cuándo vayas a llegar. Llevo aquí muchos años, pero me has sido prometida; la musa me ha dicho que vendrás, así que esperaré.
Me imagino que en este instante caminas por las calles sin saber adónde vas ni quién eres. Merodeando, quizás, y las preguntas eternas que te asechan y acosan sin tregua alguna...
¿Son calles o un espacio en tu mente?
¿Es tu mente o la mía?

Sois sage oh jeunesse,
Car la vie est courte
Et pleine de faiblesses
Le temps passe vite
Et rapidement il te laisse;
Dis adieu au monde,
Bientôt entérrée dans la tombe.

Le temps passe vite

Dis adieu au monde,
Bientôt entérrée dans la tombe.
