time for poetry 13: [not so] lonely world


[Not so] Lonely world

 

Just a lonely boy, looking for a lonely girl,

Just a lonely boy, livin’ in a lonely world,

Just a lonely boy, wokin' a lonely life,

Just a lonely boy, livin a life of sadness and strife.

 

Just a lonely girl, looking for a lonely boy

Just a lonely girl, being tossed aside like a lonely toy,

Just a lonely girl, livin a lonely life,

Just a lonely girl, filled with sadness and strife.

 

Just a lonely boy, and a lonely girl,

Living together in a lonely world,

Two lovers brought together by a chance of fate,

True love holds forth there’s no debate,


Just a lonely boy and a lonely girl,

Sharing hearts in a twilight twirl.

 

But it’s not such a lonely life

When you have someone by your side.

An uphill race in a downhill world,

Someone you can trust, whom to confide.

 

One step forward begins a journey

Stop…take one step back.

Forgive not forget, future days passed;

Take on the universe like a heart attack.

Forget to smell the flowers

Live the dream on an endless track.

 

The train to dullsville becomes a rocket to love.

Two hearts intertwined gives flight to even the wingless dove.

 

Take the world of pain and misery

Take this ode to you from me.

We may not be lovers, but I broke the bridge.

I’m over the edge of your heart; I’ve fallen off the ridge.

Diving through the gates of chance

Beyond a bad romance.

 

My words fill the page of our untold story.

Will it end in shame or glory?

Five years ago? Remember that day?

You were the first one who almost got away.

 

Life without you is a farce filled fluke.

You are my queen, love our archduke.

In our kingdom the skies shine above,

There is no rain in the kingdom of love.

 

Five years we spoke, worlds apart.

Never a moment when I thought,

That I would want your heart.

Five years, that feels like forever

Five years we were birds of a feather

Now we share a world together.

 

The world is still quite lonely, I can see.

But it is much less lonely when you’re with me.

a valentines day dedication: On a shooting star [my Russian valentine]


On a shooting star [my Russian valentine]

 

When I turn over in bed and see the empty space next to me.

That’s when I think of you.

When the golden sun rises and lights the morning dew.

That’s when I think of you.

When I see children smiling and having fun.

That’s when I think of you.

When the night sky is dark and the moon hides from my wandering eyes.

That’s when I think of you.

When the snow falls and turns the world of colors into a greyscale land of wonder and mystery.

That’s when I think of you.

 

When darkness arrives and it is still too early for the dawn,

And the only light I can see is the stars in the skies.

That’s when I think of you.

When Haley’s comet roars across the stratosphere

Like true love seeking two open hearts to bind together for eternity and a day.

That’s when I think of you.

When the wicked desires of the curse plaguing the institution of humanity arise to power.

That’s when I think of you.

 

When I look into the mirror I see your smile.

When I look into the sun I see your hair.

When I stare into the endless blue skies I see your eyes.

When I see the rain I see your tears.

 

When I see a lowly dog searching for an owner

I see myself trying to get closer to you.

 

To build that bridge to cross your heart,

To find the brick and mortar to rebuild my broken heart,

I feel like I am in an arms race to grasp your hands,

The concentric circles that revolve around the heart and soul that is my sun and my moon,

You sharpen my view, leaving me nigh a dull outlook on life,

The unwritten book that could be our story,

I run to protect you to cover your heart and soul from life’s harsh barrage,

The blitzkrieg assault that the universe throws at us both.

 

I am your shield and you my sword

And together there is no force we cannot overcome.

I climb the mountain just to shout to you below.

A man with nothing left to lose and everything to gain,

I am a noble knight on a quest to find his way.

 

You are the stars in the sky granting me light.

Guiding me even in the darkest of night.

All is one and one is all,

And I will catch you no matter the fall.

 

So sleep with ease and awake with a smile

Knowing that when you are my moon I am your sun.

 

While you rest from your hard day

I watch over you from a distance afar.

And when you wake I will be there

To greet you riding on a shooting star.

 

To the sweetest of candy

A girl who’s so dandy.

To a girl who’s smart and always mine

I wish you love and joy, my Russian valentine.

The lie called the Coriolis Effect - by samuel j. pernicano


The lie called the Coriolis Effect

Written by Samuel joseph Pernicano

January 21, 2014

 

For anyone who has heard of the Coriolis Effect; you were taught a lie that frankly does not exist. For those of you that don’t know about this supposed rule of science it states that water in the northern hemisphere always flows down in a counter-clockwise direction while the water in the southern hemisphere always flows clockwise. Now the earth only has four prime directions; north, south, east, and west. (Of course ignoring the diagonal directions between.)

If the water in the northern hemisphere flows south counter clockwise then the water in the SOUTHERN hemisphere must actually flow north. Gravity pulls all things towards the center of our planet. As such the southern hemispheres water actually flows north. As such the weather in the southern hemisphere is actually a mirror reflection of the north. This means that the water flow in the southern hemisphere flows north in a counter-clockwise direction as well.

As illustrated below:

 
Imagine looking straight at the front of our planet:
 



This is how our planet would look if it wasn’t spinning like it always is. Now imagine that a mirror was placed through the center of the planet EXACTLY at the location of the equator.



Now this mirror remains here (as the solid black line). Now in this way the north would see their reflection if they looked down and the same for the south. However, the reflection up north would look like the south; and the souths reflection like the north. As mirrors work they make right left and left right. As the planet rotates to the right (or counter-clockwise) the water flow in toilets or sinks would follow the same direction.

The Coriolis Effect says that water in the southern hemisphere flows down in a clockwise direction. However this cannot happen as in the southern hemisphere going down would mean heading towards the South Pole. Water actually flows up in the southern hemisphere thanks to the force of gravity. As such a flushed toilet would flow upwards.

Now here is the planet with the hemispheres separated by that imaginary mirror:

As all things are pulled to the center of the planet by gravity if a hole through one side and over to the other through the earth’s center would result in a near eternal fall. You would fall south till you fly past the equator and are eventually slingshotted back up north. Repeat forever till you lose momentum and just stop moving.
 
 
As the Coriolis Effect says the above photo is how the water should supposedly flow. Now this “Coriolis Effect is actually a lie, as I can show by simply mirroring the image above:
 
As you can see the two directions are now the opposite. Meaning that the Coriolis Effect IS TRUE. But wait a second…or is it”? Living in the northern hemisphere down is the direction the water flows in our bathrooms. And as such when we look down from the North Pole we see north, south, east, and west; and as a result up, down, left, and right.
 
Now if you are at the South Pole and you look down (or what is actually UP), then you have the same four directions. North, south, east, and west; and correspondingly up, down, left, and right.
 
But something isn’t right here… if you are at the North Pole looking down and the South Pole also looking down, then how the heck can north, south, east, and west; be the same direction? What’s REALLY going on is that the man in the north is looking down while the woman down south is looking UP. As such in the North Pole you cannot go north without immediately entering the southern direction on the compass rose. And at the South Pole going south would result in immediately heading north.
As such the water that flows in the northern hemisphere flows with the earth’s rotation making it go counter-clockwise. Now imagine that you are at the North Pole looking straight down. And now imagine the entire planet below is transparent and you can see through it. Only the water is visible. The water will be flowing counter-clockwise (right). Even the water in the southern hemisphere is flowing counter-clockwise. Hmm, did I just disprove the Coriolis Effect?
No. now imagine being at the South Pole looking down (really up), and again everything but the water is invisible. The water flows clockwise, even the water in the northern hemisphere. If the Coriolis Effect were to be true (that water flows the opposite direction in the southern hemisphere), then that would require the earth to be rotating in two different directions.
By the Coriolis Effect the northern hemisphere would have to spin to the right while the southern hemisphere rotates to the left. This would be completely impossible for any spherical object unless it was separated at the middle. Don’t believe me? Find a ball or any round object, spin it to the left, watch the direction, does the top spin in a different direction from the bottom? NO.
Now take a spherical object (nothing expensive) and use a permanent marker to write a “t” on the top and a “b” on the bottom. Spin the ball any direction with the “t” facing up and write down the direction that the “t” and “b” spins. Then flip the ball over so that the “b” is facing up and repeat (making sure to spin the ball in the same direction as the first spin). Now compare the two spins, if the Coriolis Effect is true then the direction that the “t” and “b” spin should actually NOT BE THE SAME.
As this experiment and the previous drawings have shown the Coriolis Effect is actually a lie and is a scientific theory that is based off the perspective of the person watching the water. Perspective is an artistic term that refers to locations and directions that an object or person faces or goes in a work of art. It can be applied to our planet as a man up north looks down to watch water flow and a man down south (below the equator) watches water flow up (while from his perspective it also flows down.
But since we only have one direction for south and you cannot have a down on a planet where all objects, elements, and forces are pulled in towards the earth’s center; in the southern half of the planet. Below the equator you cannot have a down in reference to water flow as a man standing in the south looks at a man standing in the north. As such the Coriolis Effect is utter and complete bull shit, a sham, a lie, a farce.
Since a man in the northern hemisphere looks to the southern hemisphere when his water flows, the water in the south must also flow in the same direction. I have nothing left to say, so move on to your next day.
In physics, the Coriolis effect is a deflection of moving objects when they are viewed in a rotating reference frame. In a reference frame with clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the left of the motion of the object; in one with counter-clockwise rotation, the deflection is to the right.”

a poem for a friend 3 - five years [how about five more]


Five years

 

Five years of bread and corn.

Five years and a song is born.

Five years to confide and define.

Five years a broken heart bound by a spine.

 

When we first met I wasn’t sure.

Is it another day or destinies allure?

Little did I know that this day would finally define

What we are and my place in time.

Five years ago and now this day

Chasing airplanes and the things we say.

 

Lost inside a world of lies

Chasing reason and alibis.

 

The court hath delivered my sentence

The case open now closed.

I must follow my repentance

A verdict of forgiveness and love.

 

I watched as many a man filed to the ghastly guillotine.

Choosing the seductress and succubus and her flawless sheen.

Men who marched to their death with never a thought.

With women and cannibals simply filling the pot.

 

Five years of your open arms and chasing loves eclipse.

My ears open to the words spoken from thy lips.

 

Five years long with a smile so wide.

Always having someone to whom I confide.

Countless hours without fear and loathing;

Dances with wolves in sheep’s clothing.

Through the apocalyptic horrors inside my mind,

You became the light, therefore my guide.

The light of my life and the candle of my soul.

A flame burning for eternity, no need for coal.

 

Five years and ten thousand words.

Flight of the bumblebee and a hundred birds.

Hitchcock and Poe dancing in fields of flowers.

Sunshine and farts with superpowers.

Corporate greed is but a sterile seed.

Five years, you are all I need.

 

Your hair the sun and your eyes the skies open wide.

Your heart, the diary, inside which I could confide.

Your words build the bridge that crosses my heart.

Your trust became the foundation for my shopping cart.

The thought of your smile became my Broadway play.

I went to see it every single day.

 

Theaters across the nations would play our story.

We are king and queen in a blaze of glory.

Five years with you walking a thousand miles.

Children of the worlds lined up with smiles.

 

Five years watching your career prosper and grow.

Five years and so much to show.

Never a moment without you, even in the bitter snow.

Five years and four letters; l, o, v- oh you know J.

 

Five years together and I wouldn’t wish for change.

A world apart and home, home on the range.

 

Never a moment of sorrow when I hear the news.

The only math I need, 1+1=me plus you.

Five years and I love this life.

Five years from now and- you know the rhyme...

If I had three wishes; you, I, the world.

 

Five years and I have so much to show.

Five years of joy wouldn’t you know?

Five years on the open floor

I don’t know about you, but how about five years more?
