Sweet Music And Sweet Nirvana Poem by Margaret Alice

Looking at a Knowledge Map
I’m not interested in Genetics
with questions on engineering –
we should breed more wisdom in
the human species; I’m not interested
in Human Sciences either, I know enough
about emotional intelligence by Goleman
to realize I have with very little; Psychology
per se is schizophrenic and only serves to
confuse; Biology only interests me as far as
the electro-magnetic consciousness of plants
can be determined when they communicate
chemically; but Physics - Atomic and Quantum,
Particle and Nuclear, Electromagnetism and
Acoustics - sounds so interesting; I want to
know more; Astronomy, Astrophysics and
the marvellous theories woven in Cosmology,
with its occult brother Astrology and my
favourite - Astrogenetics - is sweet music to
my ears; by the way; I do not accept Astrology
defined as an ancient pseudoscience at all –
Maurice Cotterel and Lyall Watson both made
it clear that water’s chemical properties; determined
by the electro-magnetic influence of planets and
sun - are responsible for the hormonal qualities
on which astrological types are based – related
to date of conception - this science is well-nigh
perfection!


Sweet Nirvana

Paying karma’s price for the
vain presumption of my youth:
Striving for accomplishment
at any price – karmic law
acting on my childish plea
came up with fitting punishment for me
by inspiring my industrious mates
to organise a language course
where my thirst insatiable
for the strange and new
led to learning of strange terms
and even stranger verbs
requiring endless repetition
for retainment in my brain
where a deep, dark hole
is waiting to devour and shrink
every shred of knowledge it takes in -
and sure as hell my poor brain swells
as it gulps in the sweet new things
before all sinks into the depths
never to rise again - karmic law is king
my life serves as a dire warning:
Beware of lofty aspirations
otherwise one has to learn
endless lists of words by heart
that just increase the need to flee
from karmic law to reach the blessed state
of sweet nirvana...
