Founding Fathers Fretting

Those screaming
For freedoms
Without acknowledgement
Of responsibility
Throw tantrums
In harbors
For representation
Without taxation

The Nature of Growth

Discomfort is the nature of growth

Teething pains in toddling monsters
Aching bones in teenage boys
Tiring brawn in hulking warriors
Anxious doubts in brave explorers
Mournful thoughts in dying men

Almost, But Not, Symmetrical (5)

Infinite sets can be of different sizes.

The set of integers in the universe continues ad infinitum.
The set of real numbers in the universe continues ad infinitum.

Yet reals are more infinite
For reals are manifold between integers
If you know how to look.

The set of ugliness in the universe continues ad infinitum.
The set of beauty in the universe continues ad infinitum.

Yet beauty is more infinite
For beauty is manifold between ugliness
If you know how to look.

On Faith & Future Wrongs

Things are going wrong today
Things have gone wrong in the past
Things will go wrong in the future

If I apply right principles
Things still go wrong today
Things still go wrong in the future

But over the curve of time
Things go wrong
In increasingly right directions
