PLANET EARTH ~ QUO VADIS ? That is the Question !
**********************************************
SCIENCE FICTION is an awesome Genre with no BOUNDRIES
It tends to be TERRACENTRIC because Our Planet EARTH
Is the only LIVING PLANET we know of in the UNIVERSE
Consequently SF is all about Human Run Spaceships
And encountering other Alien Space Civilisations
Or Alien Space Civilisations ~ visiting Earth
WE *Boldly Go to Share not to Conquer*
But ~ Aliens have Ulterior Motives
Strip Earth of Her Resources
And enslave Humanity
SF is Pessimistic
SCIENCE FACT
More Optimistic
Recognises Problems
Such as The Global Warming
Human Population ~ still increase
Technology has answers NOT TO COVID
She is a VIRAL PANDEMIC that has brought US
To our knees and as yet no VACCINE has been found
COVID 19 A B C IS STILL MUTATING ~ IS THIS HOW EARTH WILL END ?

I hope sometimes that my like is not at its end.
Fact or fiction
An 'awful horror' as Biblical words say
I know one horror - me singing!
It'll be the death of you, if ya hear it
Or at least, tortuous
With no escape.
Why, a prisoner had a choice -
40 years jail, or a week of me singing
Aww, why did he choose the former?!
Can't blame him though
Heehee
Science fiction or fact
Be afraid - be very afraid -
Of me singing , that is!
Anyone bothering ya?
Just gimme a call, I'll see to it
For a certain fee, of course!
(All contributions gratefully received)
They will never bother ya again.
After a song or ten from me.
Heehee.
Even sci-fi writers can't deny
What scientist can not help but imply
The human spirit will always win
So no, this is not the end
Just a chance to begin again
Learning to take less and give more
A willingness to even out the score
Just a continental collaboration
To beat this virus in every nation
Learning that our likenesses outnumber our differences, and working together it won't take long. It's our differences united that will make us strong.

Too many nay-sayers
Not enough yea-sayers
Too many quiters
Not enough players
You cry out it's the end
I softly say let's begin
But you don't listen
You believe we're condemned
But there are more like me
Who quietly disagree
We'll roll up are sleeves
And stubbornly refuse to let it be
Goliath has been here before
But David gave him what for
We may be outnumbered
But we're clever to the core
So put on your facemasks
And fight the fight
Keep your distance
And together we'll make it all right

THNAK FOR ADDIN
The historical orbit of life.
A moment similar to those recorded in books old as the Bible.
A moment when death takes the lead.
When separation and hate crowd the mics and storm in.
When disease strikes and fear plagues.
In olden days it was the town crier
The prophet on the corner.
Today, it will be typed in the blog posts and websites of the future.
Videos posted, comments, likes, dislikes, hearts, faces.
What I do, how I react to this moment counts.
Which side of history will I be on?
Act in fear or act in confidence.
Both seem to be a crime.
Seclude and hide or storm and raid.
Mask yourself, or bare the scowl against the protection of society.
Mental health or mental breakdown.
Stand joyful even in the suffering.
Stand in sadness over the state of the world.
Stand hopeful that it will soon reflect a peaceful kingdom.
The end or the beginning?
I think it's a constant.
No concept of time except today.
Today is the only time I am living in.
Tomorrow might come, it might not.
Yesterday is gone, stored in the cloud.
Each minute of today passes with a few breaths.
I am grateful to breathe freely.
Today might be my last, so I love.
Today might be my last, so I care.
Today might be my last, so I laugh.
I keep riding the mary-go-round.
She is clothed with strength and dignity and she laughs without fear of the future. (Proverbs 31:25)
SCIENCE FICTION TELLS ME THERE*S MILLIONS
OF PLANETS - IN THE UNIVERSE INHABITED BY
INTELLIGENT BEINGS JUST LIKE HOMO SAPIENS
INTELLIGENT BEINGS ~ WITH MORE DEVELOPED
TECHNOLOGY THAN EARTH ~ WHICH ALLOWS THEM
INTERGALACTIC TRAVEL IS IT FACT O FANTASY
SCIENCE FACT (WHAT HOMO SAPIENS CAN DO !)
CONSIDERS SPEEDS GREATER THAN LIGHT SPEED
IS IMPOSSIBLE - WHICH LIMITS WHERE WE CAN
AND CANT VISIT - ALSO IF TRAVEL TOOK 1000
YEARS WE*D HAVE TO BUILD ~ BREEDING SPACE
SHIPS ~ WHICH WOULD RAISE ETHICAL - ISSUE
THOSE WHO BELIEVE IN THE BIBLE WOULD NOTE
THAN LIFE DID NOT ARISE SPONTANEOUSLY BUT
WAS CREATED SPECIFICALLY FOR PLANET EARTH
MAKING EXTRATERRESTIALS - SCIENCE FICTION
Science fiction is fake.
... but God is a science fact.
If a big bang really happened,
it is only because God clapped.
SCIENCE ~ FACT - PATTERNS - PRINCIPLES ~ BRIAN
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
In the YEAR Twenty - Twenty (2020)
Ther are Science Facts a-Plenty
But to add to Academic Friction
Everyone loves STAR TRECK ~ Science Fiction
Patterns in Science do abound
The Speed of Light of Man of Sound
OLYMPICS ~ this Year destroyed by COVIDAVITY
Next Year back to the LAW OF GRAVITY !
ELEMENTS built from THREE Basic Particles
Gave us PERIODICITY (see Scientific Aricles)
Mendeleef - Genius - was able
To construct a *PERFECT PERIODIC TABLE*
The Modern Scientists @ Cambridge & @ Oxford
Have shown all 92 Natural Elements DISCOVORD !
Science Fiction can recite
Space Ships can *Boldly Go - Faster than Light*
But GOD decreed *Lets Pause for Thoughts* HIS ~
Universe runs on *HIS UNIVERSAL SCIENCE LAWS !*
