    If you've got orignial art that speaks fo itself, post it here. I've always thought a 'picto-forum' would be a great idea. The last thread I found of yours in A/C was right here. and there was nothing wrong with that. I won't delete anything that's just art and no words, unless it falls under the category of either inflammatory, igonorant, or sarcastic. Go ahead!

    Somethings Happening
    ------------------------------------------------------------

    Everyone, and I mean everyone
    knew something was happening.
    What they once had was gone
    and no one knew what it was.

    Like a frog slowly boiled
    they couldn't feel the transition.

    Everything was different
    yet outwardly looked unchanged.

    Every soul sensed a need to blame.
    Some chose someone
    others accused something.
    Few blamed themselves all the same.

    No eyes, ears, smell, taste or touch
    were designed to sense the change
    that surrounded their galaxy.
    Empty vesicles in their brains
    only knew a mysterious pressure.

    All they knew was a deep regret or hate.
    With less time to live a life
    all struggles were more intense

    Emotions incensed.
    Ostracism became the force
    that countered
    the gravity of love.
    It grew immense.

    Instinct screamed to push back.
    But it did not work.


    There used to be time for a choice
    no matter what the background noise.

    But no one truely knew what was wrong.
    Most thought war had been declared
    forever.
    But this was just the beginning.

    The unseen wave was
    still rolling in.
    All time and matter
    had been compressed
    by twenty two percent.

    There was six hundred
    and sixty six percent to go.
    There would soon be a time
    when time

    stopped.

    Still no one would know
    as they sat alone or
    faced each other
    like wooden soldiers
    in angst or rapture
    for a virtual
    eternity.

    Sliding back down
    on the backside of the wave,
    Time slowly returns
    with a warmth and longing
    of a sun unseen
    after a winter of 2,000 years.

    Don,
    You're posting this in the wrong forum. Please post it in Pseudoscience.

    I think this can pass as art. First there's a collage and then there's a poem.

    Portfiry, I suggest you add a poll to this thread: "is this art? *yes *no." Then after some time, the results can say in which forum it is supposed to be.

    This is art, and a poem. Hardly enough for a debate on pseudoscience. If someone wrote a poem about naure, and it was suggested they move it to Earth Science, would it really make any discussion about the environment that supercedes the discussion on its artistic merit?

    If we go around dividing artwork into the theme it encompasses, we will no longer have anything left in this forum- if you move the pseudoscienc art to pseudoscience, how can you possibly find art that is art themed? It's just redundant. All art is inhernatly themed on something else. It's just foolish to suggest Don H post this in a pseuoscience forum. It's art, so he should post it here.

    I think the first pictures posted here by Don H are Art also. He posted a poem right under it. I think I should move that thread back to Art and Culture, so you can merge them.

    Yep, Bansh, I think you should move it back. I don't see the value of posting it in pseudoscence when in fact people will not be coming there to make artistic commentary. It wouldn't even matter if it was intensely pseudoscience themed. If art is only its theme, then all art is redunant!

    And now, to encourage Don H, who obviously felt slightly rejected judging by the title of the thread:

    Well this certainly sounded like moving day at the Bickersons.


    It is a valid debate.
    Governments have often tried to control political art by promoting state art or banishing the "intellectuals".

    rest assured I will confine the political poetry to the politics forum:
    such as...




    Military overthrow of the USA?
    _________________________________

    We finally have a freely elected President
    with backbone to USE the most powerful
    Military Industrial Complex on Earth.

    I suspect it is the other way around.
    Except oil interests control them both.

    The Constitution preserves the civilian authority
    over the country of
    the United States of America.

    civilian authority.

    It sounds so puny doesn't it.

    it is

    Unless you're a $billion lobbiest.

    Last I heard the Constitution was for shareholders
    not the people.
    People are downsized
    and states rights
    are mowed down.

    Who needs a military overthrow
    when they already run the show.


    Yep its a scary world.
    Whats really scary are those
    who believe in God's holy war
    as well as those who
    who refuse to believe
    in an overthrow.
    "it can't happen here".

    Meanwhile heed the Attorney General's words;
    Watch what you say.

    and where you say it

    so I better edit this now...

    Don H, your official thread: Today's Pictures, is moved back to this Forum, right after the former reply.

    If you take a look you'll see it a little down the threads. I guess Congratulations's not had the time to merge the two of them together yet.

    You posted a good poem,

    I'll let this one slide, but to the moderators and posters, I am the final arbiter when it comes to which thread is relevant to which forum. And to the posters in particular, don't be offended if your thread is moved.
