With our knowledge of modern-day genetics, we realize that it was possible for God to place the potential for all people throughout history into the genes of Adam and Eve when He created them.

Our nation was created in ways that allow human potential to prosper, and it created the greatest nation for people in the history of humanity. Now Obama is dismantling it, because he has no appreciation for our greatness. In fact, he resents it. He blames this country for whatever evils he sees around the world.

The pretended physical philosophy of modern days strips Man of all his moral attributes, or holds them of no account in the estimate of his origin and place in the created world.

Modern Dancing
Modern, modern, modern, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern
I see you acting modernly with the boys and girls
Exposure breeds discovery in the modern world
The 60's hairdos 90's eyes are just flashing lights
A touch of neon hinting class for the modern night
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern
Mono vision tv face and determined eyes
The clothes are perfect the rips in place just the perfect size
Familiarity breeds contempt but it doesn't show
We've heard the music times before but it still makes you go
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, modern dancing
Modern dancing, dancing

Xtc Vs. Adam Ant
Xtc versus adam ant
Content versus form
Fighting for their place in rock and roll
There is no right or wrong
Just when you think it's finished
With xtc on top
Ant music, like a phoenix
Flies back up the charts
Xtc versus adam ant
Only one will survive
Beatle-based pop versus new romantic
History will decide
Xtc versus adam ant
I can't tell you why
Even the singer from bow wow wow
Can't make up her mind
Xtc versus adam ant
Time is marching on
Xtc versus adam ant
There is no right or wrong
There is no right or wrong
There is
No right
Or wrong

You're An Individual Not An Appliance
How do we arrive at who we are,
What is it that makes us unique,
While some stand still others go far,
What makes us strong or weak.
Some turn out good while others are bad,
Is that really down to our genes,
Do they really dictate you'll be sane or mad,
Are there really no in betweens.
Some are born leaders while others are led,
But leadership can be learned,
We can all have a say in what lies ahead,
With willpower you can achieve all you have yearned.
If genetics are true then we don't have a choice,
About who or what we will be,
Does that mean none of have our own voice,
If it's true then none of us are free.
It's all very well being told how you'll die,
But it's in science that failures abound,
Their theories basically amount to a lie,
Until their speculation's proved sound.
Parental upbringing whilst we're young,
Will determine how we all grow,
Their Influence dictates what group we're among,
They're responsible for how our lives flow.
If you're taught the lessons of right and wrong,
Then it's you who'll decide your own fate,
You'll know exactly where you belong,
Bad decisions we can learn to abate.
We all have the ability to accept or decline,
It's dependent on what we have learned,
It is you alone who will know if it's fine,
Your conscience tells you to be concerned.
It's in my genes is used as an excuse,
Something on which we can lay blame,
It's not my fault becomes so profuse,
You no longer feel any shame.
How your future pans out does lie with you,
Though genetics do play a small part,
You're responsible for the habits you accrue,
They cannot be laid out in a chart.
In this your life you have total control,
Never be blinded by science,
A mind of your own should be your main goal,
‘' You're An Individual, Not An Appliance ‘'
It created a global platform that allowed more people to plug and play, collaborate and compete, share knowledge and share work, than anything we have ever seen in the history of the world.

Garden Of Eden (Bible Poems For Children)
The garden of eden, was made
by God,
Adam, the first man, to ever
trod.
Beautiful trees, and plants
grew there,
Adam was happy, without a
care.
Tree of Life, and Knowledge
too,
Planted, in the garden grew.
The tree of Knowledge, God
forbid,
Do not touch, or he would rid.
A lost paradise would occur,
A magic kingdom, all a blur.
One day when Adam fell asleep,
God took a rib, made Eve so
sweet.
Satan came in form of a snake,
Tempted Eve, for goodness sake.
She ate the apple ripe and red,
gave it to Adam, Adam was fed.
A paradise was lost that day,
A working life began this way.

Adam Revised
God must be God...
For God has blessed the world...
He has given the world this rare, rare
Treasure...Woman
It's funny how I only see woman when I want...forself
I realize now how she covers my life... how she shares with me her intimacy...
Mentally, emotionally and spiritually.
There is no other person on this earth
Whom I can count on as I count on woman...
Let me be not like Adam but the man...
Adam was created to be for Eve...his queen and mate!

The Wink
It might of been created by a liar or a thief
So people will be confused by a thought or a belief
And at that moment of time when you will stop and think
You will not realize you've been tricked, as there will be a wink,
You might think all is alright and that is acceptable
As you wont see what truly is perceptible,
And if you are with that friend and they offer you a drink
Be careful before you drink it, and watch out for that wink.
It might of been created when someone was looking for the truth
Or maybe they were curious, or maybe they were a sleuth
But when they are close to an answer you will notice their eye
Then you will see that wink, now you won't care about why,
You are happy and pleased as now you will walk away
But what was the truth, as not a word did they say,
When people tell you all is alright, but your life is at its brink
Be ever so careful, and watch out for that wink.
It might of been created by a spouse or a cheater
But we know it wasn't created by either Paul or Peter
When the truth is asked for, it is told without a blink
So we must be ever so weary of that devilish wink
In the history of time it as been used to trick and confuse
And also to confirm a lie, and also to amuse,
Remember the devil signs his contracts in blood and ink
So in life be ever so careful, and watch out for that wink.

Theory of Evolution in Islam
The holy Koran supports
Theory of evolution
But it opines that
God has created human at first
In a different way
Since humans are His best creation
The angels took mud from the earth
To God’s main court in paradise
Then God expanded His visible glow
So that the angels can see His body
And make a body like His body with it
But the angels were unable
To make the face
Because God’s body
Is the most beautiful thing
Consequently
God’s body made the face
Of Adam with His own hand
And gave finishing touch
Then he breathed into
Adam’s body a soul
And Adam became alive
Afterward
God created Eve
From a bone of Adam’s breast
By necessary genetic mutations.

Life's Not Always Fair
Life is the thing that all people have the right to,
But not all people have it the way they want it.
People take life for granted,
There's suicide, and homicide, People killing other people.
One thing I have learned is...
Life's not always fair, So deal with it.
Some people live and some people die,
Death is not always the answer.
The angels come down,
They take you away,
To what you think is the better place to be,
But you miss them...Family, friends, and being THERE!
You never realize what you have until it's gone,
Once it's gone then you realize what has really happened.
You cry and cry, You want to DIE!
People need to realize that, Life's not always fair
Don't die! Live life to the fullest!
And you will see, It can only get better.
No matter how bad things look,
Just realize one thing...LIFE'S NOT ALWAYS FAIR!

Sonnet-This World is one
This world is one and all people are one;
All came from Adam, Eve- our first parents;
The Sky has many stars but single Sun;
The Decalogue remains our common fence.
The modern world is moving to be one;
The divisions of nations can't stay long;
The foes of man are always on the run;
Man must decide what’s right and what is wrong.
Goodness shall triumph always o'er evil;
All Atheists must realize one God;
Each one must win the war with the devil;
And prove that we are made from special clod.
The good or bad we do will affect all;
Improper decisions, we all must stall.

Which Wish For You is 'More' Essential?
Which wish for you is 'more' essential?
The one you expect me to be?
That one not yet,
Able to fulfill my potential?
Or the one that I am.
Awaiting your assistance,
To realize my wish for you.
Has materialized.
Potential you have can not be denied.
But somehow in your eyes,
There is a need 'from' me for you to see supplied.
Amplified excessive impressions kept escalated.

Knowledge
What happens to our knowledge
when we pass from here?
Will it be buried with us
for an eternity to be undisturbed,
or do we leave tracks
of our knowledge behind?
Great minds have already written down
things they did not want to forget.
Is it possible that great knowledge
is gathering dust somewhere
in those forgotten chapters
of our history?
Leonardo Da Vinci’s drawings
of airplanes and submarines.
Were they just fanciful dreams,
or were they reality?
Could these things have existed,
but of their presence in history
this knowledge for them departed?
What about Atlantis
with its knowledge unbound.
Did it really disappear
beneath the waves without a sound,
and the knowledge that they held,
did that all vanish with them?
We can only speculate
where all this knowledge goes
as new minds dream of things
that may have existed in the past.
Which leaves us with the question,
what happens to our knowledge
when we pass away from here?
