Life is a mystery,
There is no clue of its exact history.
Theory once postulated by Darwin,
May go change by some Hardin.

Why We Fight

This is the thing we fight:
A cry of terror in the night;

A carrier of the sick and maimedâ??

And they are part of me;

In other minds I see.

But you have speed far greater. You can climb
Back up a stream of radiance to the sky,
And back through history up the stream of time.

Joy

Joy, what could be more eperetising than the Joy of life. what is life without joy. Love it can be given and it can never be taken. What is life like without being loved.

There is a million of things that I would rather do than love another. I would count stars day to day admiring each and everyone of them. I am greedy in nature. I do nothing which is temporary. my main reason why I would spend a lifetime counting stars. No matter how many I count each day the end is never near .

Again the merchant ploughs the tumid wave;
Another spring renews the soldier's toil,
And finds me vacant in the rural cave.

clutching and close to fumbling all we had--
