The Thinking Beast.
Part 1.

The cardiac machine, the thinking beast,
Foaming at the mouth with mediocre speech,
With vanilla slogans and sickly smelling truths,
Nulifying the tree-borne fruits,
With worthless promises of salvation,
Cracking at reason with the discharge of fools,
And square illusions attacking creation,
While the inclining plane constantly pulls.

Part 2.
The discipline of logic leads you to nature,
The Goddess Sophia shows you her shrine,
Where even the living can meet their maker
Where wisdom and clarity are the divine.

By me aged 20.



Bees are buzzing all around,
Ants are dancing on the ground,
Butterflys are flying by,
And the birds are singing in the sky.

By me aged 5.
(I remember writing this one as if it were yesterday.)

What (apart from living animals/persons), would you save from your burning house if you had only seconds to spare?

I would certainly grab my own childhood/young adulthood writings, sketches and tape recordings. No material posessions come close to the importance of these things. Enjoyed reading yours.

(Is the spelling of discipline the way you intended?)

Mmmmm, good question had a really good think about this one and yes I agree I would try to save my journals/books. At least I think in years to come they would be one of the things I would most regret not grabbing. I'd be sad if the music, books and films I've collected all went up in smoke but I could live without all of it really, I'm certain of that.
Also my boyfriend and I have a printers draw full of small objects, sentimental things nothing spectacular just stuff like stones, bolts, badges,hairslides etc worthless crap mainly but it all has a story behind it. I'd be sad to loose any of it but seeing as wrenching it off the wall wouldn't be posible I'd just save the things in it that belonged to my boyfriends Dad,I've never lost anybody really close to me so I have nothing of such value but I do know how important they are to him, so to answer your question these and if I had time my journals and my collection of Alan Bates films and Who records. Whoops think I just burned to death!
Anybody else like to answer this question? It's a good one to think about.Thanks Ian.(By the way the spelling wasn't intentional I just can't spell.)

Good question indeed. I would save my writing pads and books, and probably those things with sentimental value, though not the photos since they are scanned online and easily retrievable.

The practical me would grab the firesafe box and save the passports and paperwork. They are horrible to replace. :)
