If any human being earnestly desire to push on to new discoveries instead of just retaining and using the old to win victories over Nature as a worker rather than over hostile critics as a disputant to attain , in fact, clear and demonstrative knowlegde instead of attractive and probable theory we invite him as a true son of Science to join our ranks.

A few of the sublimest geniuses of Rome and Athens had some faint discoveries of the spiritual nature of the human soul, and formed some probable conjectures, that man was designed for a future state of existence.

Nature has pointed out a mixed kind of life as most suitable to the human race, and secretly admonished them to allow none of these biases to draw too much, so as to incapacitate them for other occupations and entertainments. Indulge your passion for science, says she, but let your science be human, and such as may have a direct reference to action and society. Abstruse thought and profound researches I prohibit, and will severely punish, by the pensive melancholy which they introduce, by the endless uncertainty in which they involve you, and by the cold reception which your pretended discoveries shall meet with, when communicated. Be a philosopher; but, amidst all your philosophy, be still a man.

Face twisted with a funky frown
Let me turn u on 2 somethin that I found

Negativity like gravity
Gotcha fallin fast from reality

Flip styles like a spatula mac-tacula
More legend than a new acura
Body tone stone while I rap 2 her
Capture her thinkin Im a mac 2 her
Just because Im attracted 2 her
But the fact of the matter is the dance floors phatter
The crowds on fire as we push it up higher
Push it up! - come on, yall
Push it up! - put your hands in the air
Push it up! - come on, yall
Push it up! - while the artist turn it up, come - uh!

World to end
World to end
I would never want the world to end
Even if nature has turned against us with clear trend
Still we are like children or in fact real to almighty
We want that some kind eye is needed with mercy
We fear about holocaust in unprecedented manner
People forecast it to happen not later but sooner
I shall not believe such theory but certainly do believe
About His power to balance the take and give
What have we done to ask for any kind of favor?
Have we not done away to death the god sent saviors?
Do we ever desire to become the true disciples?
If not then why are we afraid of unknown cycles?
When we are unkind to others and keep no good will?
Nature has many ways to uproot you and kill
How are we helpless in dealing with bush fire?
Watch in disbelief and silently retire
We have advanced in science and technology
We have learnt the nature of animals and helped zoology
Yet we have not mastered the control over volcano eruption
Live under constant fear and watch helplessly with questions
Our life is like clay pot
It can be broken or made worthless on the spot
Once broken then it can’t be restored
We need to think more instead of it to be deplored
What stops us from behaving in conformity?
Everything around us is important with its quality
They stand for universal value and impart some messages
We, as human being, need to learn and give smooth passage
Whether world ends today or centuries later
We are not hear to give credence to gossips or cater
What best can we do to preserve the ecological balance?
Survive self and make the way for all to live in with harmony at once
No one compels us to part with any valuables
It is as good as voluntary to help disables
If we can have little kindness at heart
I think some miracle will definitely take part

Science cannot be stopped. Man will gather knowledge no matter what the consequences — and we cannot predict what they will be. Science will go on — whether we are pessimistic, or are optimistic, as I am. I know that great, interesting, and valuable discoveries can be made and will be made… But I know also that still more interesting discoveries will be made that I have not the imagination to describe — and I am awaiting them, full of curiosity and enthusiasm.

No shortcuts please! (poem)
With, television, movies, music, the internet and old
Fashion gossip
Where do the young find refuge to absorb all of this
High-tech?
Surely, with personal computers valuable information
Is gathered with the help of the agency called gosip
We find so little time to see how we all as human beings
All relate and connect
Our modern technology can brings us the answers
That can help save the lives - of so many
Also, entertain us with activities to satisfy the wishes of
Both the young And the old
However, walks through Mother Nature are becoming
Rare and obsolete
She misses our solitude and solemn company
Though science can teach us “HOW? , ” it all comes alive
Only God can explain “ WHY? ” it all so beautifully unfolds
Yes in the classroom it’s real you can touch it, you can see
It - OH! - It’s all so sensible
All the pieces fit together we find joy in the explanation of
'HOW” It all functions
However to answer the question “WHY? “, with God the
Answer is quite comprehensible
So take no shortcuts please - on your latest discoveries,
For the “HOW? ” and the “ WHY? ” must Find true conjunction
“Or your newfound discoveries will truly wind up as major Malfunctions”

Science condemns itself to failure when, yielding to the infatuation of the serious, it aspires to attain being, to contain it, and to possess it; but it finds its truth if it considers itself as a free engagement
of thought in the given, aiming, at each discovery, not at fusion with the thing, but at the possibility of new discoveries; what the mind then projects is the concrete accomplishment of its freedom.

United Front Song
And because a man is human
He'll want to eat, and thanks a lot
But talk can't take the place of meat
or fill an empty pot.
So left, two, three!
So left, two, three!
Comrade, there's a place for you.
Take your stand in the workers united front
For you are a worker too.
And because a man is human
he won't care for a kick in the face.
He doesn't want slaves under him
Or above him a ruling class.
So left, two, three!
So left, two, three!
Comrade, there's a place for you.
Take your stand in the workers united front
For you are a worker too.
And because a worker's a worker
No one else will bring him liberty.
It's nobody's work but the worker' own
To set the worker free.
So left, two, three!
So left, two, three!
Comrade, there's a place for you.
Take your stand in the workers united front
For you are a worker too.

(Humility Poem) A Nobody
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Just trust me.
Let someone else make a stand and lead.
Captain please get me my steed.
A horse of a mighty fine breed indeed.
Fast as she can go we're off to to save the world to be.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Sir great knight, you have made so many of such wise decisions.
In the past and present.
Why won't you let us follow you to all of our deaths?
I don't desire to be your mistake.
A choice of whose blood to spill.
It will be only my own, I must do this all alone.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Let me teach from afar.
Let me never be your fallen star.
A disgraceful man who's got so little to show for all his hard work.
Please don't ask me If you can plaster me all over your tea shirts.
Idol not a single a human being.
Because no one as a individual is that great.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
Mistakes will be made by both the cowardly and brave.
How far will you go to get entangled in the web we make.
To say I was part of this mans life.
Even if it was lies in which you created.
A once upon a time he was celebrated.
Now he has become just so jaded.
I am nobody.
I keep telling you this.
Why won't you just listen?
I have no importance.
I have made no great discoveries.
