Can You Hear...

Open eyed lookin at the front side
There were the bright lights
Have I lost myself, will the feeling stay
When I wanted somebody to hear
I got silence and the lights blurring
To slowly fade to a hollow, vexed
The way is hard, for futures we pay
Eased by thinking of all the small things
We'll do together, I dream about it

Evolution to Create Upper and Under Genetic Classes

An Angry Rant by Morbid Misanthrope

Recently, a theoretical evolutionist, probably from Europe, predicted that in the next 100,000 years or so, humanity will be divided into two sub-species. In the year 3000 (or 3001, to be more ironic in a sci-fi kind of way), the human race will reach its peak before declining due to high-definition television and extremely intelligent TIVO units. At this point, people will be much more careful when deciding who they breed with, or in the evolutionary theorist’s words, '...knock sloppy genetic boots with'.

This, in turn, will eventually lead to the creation of upper and under genetic classes. The upper genetic class will be buff, intelligent, tall, healthy, and creative, and have totally suave British accents, while the under genetic class will be ugly, dumb, short, squat, goblin-like creatures who will regularly appear on the future’s equivalent of The Maury Povich Show.

This is a complicated and potentially bleak picture of humanity's future to be sure, and already differing views are circulating throughout the worldwide scientific community.

Dr. Theodore Terwilliger, another respected and probably European scientist, sees many flaws in the upper and under genetic class system of evolutionary futurity.

'It is quite obvious to me, yes, that due to the great amount of indiscriminate breeding going on currently, the advent of a so-called upper genetic class is quite unlikely. In fact, you see, it is much more likely that evolution will eventually bring about an entire, planet-wide population of identical hermaphrodites with genitals for hands. Bloody hell, everybody's screwing everybody, anyway...'

As can be expected, professional scientists and evolutionary theorists aren't the only people ready to contest this prediction of human evolution. The Pope's personal court jester/scientific advisor believes that in the future 'everyone will look like the blonde-haired, blue-eyed Jesus of the Catholic Bible', so long as 'sexually transmitted diseases don't kill everyone first'.

Commander Voltnar Zirconium, current leader of the Unarius Academy of Science, says that this evolutionary split will never occur 'because when humans have collectively reached the perfect level on the evolutionary ladder, our space brothers will come to earth in their ships and take us across the universe, time, and space, enlightening us mentally, physically, and spiritually. So, as you can see', Zirconium continues, 'the idea that there will be an upper and lower class is absolutely preposterous'.

And. of course, when asked for a comment, Muslims worldwide began rioting.

While most experts are content to guess what will happen to humans in the approaching future, others are more interested in preserving the rights and dignity of the two emerging genetic classes. Gloria S. Bingham from the ACLU and Fight for Human Rights Regardless (FHRR) is already calling 'foul' on the 'inappropriate' title for the lesser of the two emerging human species.

'Calling the shorter of the two species under genetic class is offensive and dangerous. To refer to that particular group this way assumes that they have less to offer society as a whole than their taller and healthier counterparts. I propose a better, less-offensive name for both species. Initially, I proposed Humanity A and Humanity B, but some of my colleagues felt that Humanity B would feel slightly less important than Humanity A. We had the same problems with Class 1 and Class 2. Anyway, we haven't been able to come up with anything satisfactory because all the politically correct terms imaginable have already been used. That's okay, though. We have at least one thousand years to come up with something'.

To get the perspective from the public, Time Magazine conducted a survey to determine current attitudes and human sexual attraction criteria that might reveal humans' current evolutionary path. The survey involved people of all ages, ethnicities, social standings, political affiliations, and body types. Some of the results were astounding.

75% of the males surveyed said they would never bang any 'ugly chicks', unless they were 'totally wasted'. 20% of males said they would 'take whatever they could get', and the remaining 5% of males surveyed answered 'Pamela Anderson', whatever that means. It should be noted that one male who never finished the survey just scrawled 'Bros before hos!' on the survey conductor's clipboard.

99% of the women surveyed said they would breed with anyone, so long as they were 'funny', 'smart', 'wealthy', 'nice', 'had pretty eyes', and/or 'reminded me of my daddy'. The remaining 1% checked the 'I don't know' box.

Since its results were published, many experts have claimed the survey's results were either inconclusive or useless. Yesterday, a blogger who claims he still does his taxes with an abacus wrote the following:

'I fail to see how Time's questions were relevant to the issue at hand. Can a poorly worded and poorly filled-out survey really have any effect on the evolutionary process? And what’s the deal with the women who answered this survey? If what they said were actually true, I'd have mated at least once by now. OMG! WTF?'

Even though what the future holds for humanity is anything but predictable, at least we know that midgets, in some form or another, will still exist in the future. And for all of us normal types, that is indeed something to be thankful for.

FFF...

Avenues all lined with trees
Eden's garden was left for thieves
I looked upon an empty stage
Where all the young men once played
In roads leading on and on
Filled with strangers every one
The lift arrived and is here to stay
Glanced stares turn their heads away
Buildings torn down to the ground
Replaced by new ones thought with more sound
And as torches glow through the night
A sacrifice for what is that is right
A lifetime of soldiers hanging from trees
By their necks the typecast
Forgotten young saviours
Lost by their own grace and favours
Hinder the paths of old loves
Photographs become more than labours
Representation of a debt
Bullion engraved with the fatherless
Before the crying stopped
Choirs echoed then eulogy read
Traced memories dead

Cameo...

Conditioned you, me, see me drown
You're on the rim of currents that turn
In ignorance, there is no way to learn
Take a cure that just takes you down
Not for good, that much is understood
Lights being on green, borrowing terms
It's just the same, not even a different name
No way out that I can see but select destiny
Just thrown from the chair, the throne
Gives me time to think should I add care
Turn down the TV or turn down my pulse
Control my heart, cause this sound is too much

Chapter Seven

Since our joining we have known those moments where our spark burned too hot leaving painful burns. The gentle breezes have whipped to fury, sending tremors to our very foundation. Thunder rumbles and rain falls, our eyes blinded by the gray mist, minds trembling in the cold.

Mirrors (Continued)...

There are melodic notes playing, brightly radiating and piercing
Through my chest at its narrows beating down through my ceiling
The shapes smeared from dreams drifting and covered in smoke
Millions of notes, like rain circles in puddles pouring from canary
A sound has matured, from a varietal and a square of re-used blue
This silver throat striding on in the echo assiduously serenading
Only to flinch under the glittering coloured hail of your harmonies
I cannot capture anything euphonious to reflect the gold of your song

We learned that the rains deepen and brighten our colors, that the storm doesn’t have to drown, that the light is brightest in the darkest shadow, and that our fragrance is not diminished by the mist. Each new rain brings new growth. The waters don’t destroy, they cleanse. Love blooms even in the storm.

Dog Saves Owner, Dies Trying to Save Cat

After a disabled woman's cat started a house fire, her specially trained dog came to the rescue, then died trying to help the cat still in the house. Jamie Hanson said the 13-year-old dog named Jesse brought the phone so she could call 911 and also brought her artificial leg.

...both pets died in the fire...

Hanson, who lost a leg in a car accident three years ago, said she was on the couch watching television when the cat ran over the back of the couch. '...he jumped onto a table that had a candle on it and tipped it over and lighted the artificial plants on fire,' she said.
- The Associated Press.

God's Own Zilla was caught earlier saying '...the dog should've let the useless thing [cat] burn, it could've enjoyed the heating...'

Platitudes (continued further even more still than one topic should be continued to infinity and beyond....)

The process of living seems to consist in coming to realize truths so ancient and simple that, if stated, they sound like barren platitudes. The cannot sound otherwise to those who have not had the relevant experience: that is why there is no real teaching of such truths possible and every generation starts from scratch.

The monuments in our world, as if they were built for us, reflect our strength and the glow of our everlasting spark. It is that spark that burns bright and hot, illuminating a dark, cold world, holding us above the murky depths.

That Works...

Colour: Sugar...

An auburn spark started a fire. A fire with sweet warming effect, an effect such that the taste of departing could be described citrus. As we leaf our moments shared silently, quietly dreaming of the time ahead. A time where the completion will have made us smooth, laid flat enjoying the syrups of the fire we built...

She Fills My Day (And My Daydreams)...

Unforgettable, that's what you are
Unforgettable though near or far
Like a song of love that clings to me
How the thought of you does things to me
Never before has someone been more

Unforgettable in every way
And forever more, that's how you'll stay
That's why, darling, it's incredible
That someone so unforgettable
Thinks that I am unforgettable too
- Nat King Cole / Unforgettable

Chapter Two

As our relationship grew I opened to you as I have never opened before. Through the surface, through the inner layers, and to my core your light has shined. You made me glow in places I thought could never be touched. I have felt deep joy in intimacy of heart and mind, and enjoyed a new kind of safety in the midst of exposure.

From the beginning we have dreamed, linked, twined, and crowned each other with our love. We made each other real and made our love to mean something more than it ever had before. We become something special and unique building towards a future we never knew could exist.

The littlest light, the colours
How they tone through the day
The pools of depth in patterns

Mercurial...

Wait and see. When it rains it pours. Chavin' on. Strong as an ox. Shit happens. A stepping stone to. She has a green thumb. To rule the mountains is to rule the river. A snail's pace. You feel like a fish out of water. There's no time like the present. Read the tea leaves. As uneasy as a cat near water. Walking on water. Water doesn't run uphill. When you get lemons, make lemonade. Less speed more haste. We'll hang you out to dry. Sturdy as an oak. Walking on thin ice. Schools out for summer. Stuck in a rut. Sweet as apple pie. A stitch in time. Which came first, the chicken or the egg. Top of the morning. What goes up usually comes down. Tall as a tree. Worry often gives a small thing a big shadow. You reap what you sow. Under the weather. You can't squeeze blood out of a turnip. Stir up an ant's nest. A place in the sun. When the cows come home.

My Building...

I know you aren't ready to live or to die
Under your skin, that soft skin is a dream
That can see a sight, enough to hide light
Without having to know what is seen
Is this a low, a lonely time, a bleak scene
Where people walk around at night time
Screaming inside out loud, vocals in mute
Hurting becomes average through the day
The weight is tied to the soul with a way
Of simply completely failing to let go

All things uncomely and broken
All things worn-out and old
The cry of a child by the roadway
The creak of a lumbering cart

The heavy steps of the ploughman
Splashing the wintry mould
Are wronging your image that blossoms
A rose in the deeps of my heart

The wrong of unshapely things
Is a wrong too great to be told
I hunger to build them anew
And sit on a green knoll apart

With the earth and the sky and the water
Remade, like a casket of gold
For my dreams of your image that blossoms
A rose in the deeps of my heart

He is Extraordinary
He Holds Me Within
He Shines for Me
He Lights My Way
He Saves Her Heart

Its because I'd really love you
To take me home
Sorry I look to you
When under the blues
Please let your light

Warming a cold exterior
Words creating a view
Floating a sinking ship
Lighting a match to spark
A fire of yellows and reds

A love was walked by paths
Parallels merging into one
Through links, shell to core
Intertwined and extending
Moments of little things
Extraordinary

Lay down in my arms now
Where we are beyond doubt
And the answers are always the same
As are my thoughts day to day
