Kaleidoscope

Inspired by the intriguing film “K-PAX”

A light year is a moment
Immersed within the glow
While travelling that vastness
To leave and say hello

The stars in every colour
The planets large and small
The satellites in orbit
Strange vistas that enthral

I see through eyes of wonder
I feel the calmness there
I hear the songs of angels
I climb each golden stair

I search with eyes of sorrow
I hope with hearts in pain
I pray to gods eternal
I laugh with those insane

Two galaxies are merging
See countless stars appear
Cocooned some still are yearning
To light the way to here.

Note:
The film based on the novel by Gene Brewer concerns a psychiatric patient who claims to be an alien from the planet K-PAX. During his treatment, the patient demonstrates an outlook on life that ultimately proves inspirational for his fellow patients and especially for his psychiatrist.

Double standards

I went to see the film “Moon” yesterday. If you haven’t yet I can heartily recommend it. It’s an intriguing story and as far as realism is concerned, well, it could easily have been shot while on location on the Moon. This is another film concerning unethical pursuits of big business.
I read that although Obama has called a national emergency due to the seriousness of the Swine Flu threat, he still refuses to let his children take the H1N1 vaccine.
Come on Obama, set an example! See this report by Congressman Ron Paul.
Of course even if they do I guess they’ll be taking the “safe” version without the dangerous additives such as mercury, squalene and thimerosal.
“Important” people are apparently getting this version dished out according to reports coming from Germany. Who’s kidding who?

A report has surfaced on prisonplanet.com concerning a US official’s resignation over the war in Afghanistan. His letter of resignation, which is included in the article, is certainly an eye-opener as to what’s really going on over there. The “enemy” appears to be no more than disgruntled local groups fighting against foreign meddling in their internal affairs and a corrupt local government. They fought off the Russians for the same reasons.

The mainstream media is also playing up the problem of Somali “pirates”, but what they don’t tell you about is the illegal fishing by European and Asian nations of Somali territorial waters and the dumping of nuclear waste there by European nations which is causing their people to die of radiation sickness, see here.

So once again, don’t believe everything the mainstream media’s seductive mouthpieces tell you – shop around.

V for Vendetta

When darkness speaks with silken tongue
And whispered lies caress my ears
Then I must look through eagle’s eyes
Behind the mask of its disguise.

To see the truth laid bare at last
The cunning power it has amassed
To guide our thoughts down narrow ways
That lead to where the music plays
The soothing sounds that bring the smiles
And seat us in the crowded aisles
To wait for it to touch our hearts
With poison from its numbing darts
That seeps through veins to feed our souls
And fashion those that it controls
To bend our will to its intent
Until our days are cold and spent.

But now I know, then I will fight
And use the tactics of the night
To thwart the one who rules by fear
And those who cannot shed a tear
Until the one born from the flame
With her shall then reveal the shame
Then all at once the light will shine
As fire returns what once was mine
Then masks will melt from faces pale
As freedom peers through night’s torn veil
And lowered guns are pushed aside
By those who no more need to hide.

Inspired by the film of the same name.
