~Salvation or Salivation~



Did Adam eat the apple
that fell on Newton’s head?
Did Freud lick the rib
when his wife was dead?

Did Christ ascend to heaven,
through the pearly gates?
Was Darwin really Charlie
in the Planet Of The Apes?

Is man just a mammal,
like in Pavlov’s head,
Is there “Salivations”
in the Good Book's stead.

Does God like some humor,
does he eat soul food?
Would he think I’m funny
Or, he think me rude?






George

Reference material (note some of it may be made up by the author).



Adam: From the Bible, Adam ate the forbidden fruit of the tree of the
"knowledge" of good and evil." The Apple is referred by some
as that fruit.

Newton: To many he was the one who discovered gravity by an apple
falling upon his head. He discovered some "knowledge"
when the apple hit him.

Freud: Austrian neurologist who originated psychoanalysis. He taught
that the id is that part of the mind in which are situated the
instinctual sexual drives which require satisfaction.

"Lick the rib" used here to depict Freud’s obsession with sex. The rib
depicting Eve (Adam‘s rib) a woman’s body, you guess
the lick part.

Darwin: Founder of the Man from ape theory.

Charlie: Short for Charlton Heston who starred in Planet Of The Apes.
He actually found the "Planet Of The Apes" in the movie.

Pavlov: Investigated the gastric function of dogs by externalizing a
salivary gland so he could collect, measure and analyze the
saliva and what response it had to food under different
conditions. He noticed that the dogs tended to salivate before
food coated with chili powder was actually delivered to
their mouths, and set out to investigate this "psychic
secretion." He sort of came up with that man was like the
animals-- a stimulus response machine.

God: The big dude who calls "all" the shots or does he?

Soul food: People who go to heaven.

Salvation or Salivation? A question whether man is just a salivating creature or does he come from God and go to heaven or do both theories fall short of the Glory of God?

This is great, Sharon. There's no void of down-toned comm on our planet today. You make a great point about creating "good effects", not only in our art, but in our lives as we lead them. That is what Ron says in Route To Infinity- just being a bea…

Your verses leave me detached, suspended in the silence of me. And then the endless contemplations of "what if" so much beauty could fill the spaces of us all.
