I know that some say the cross means the trinity, but in the cruxifiction days it meant death. Why do we kinda honor it and make it this huge symbol?

Ancestors

The swallows swooping in this evening sky
Graced your eyes in years gone by
Caught your weary ancient eye
Above the graveyard where you lie

Each blue summer saw your smiles
As swallows winged a thousand miles
You collected wood in piles
To see you through the winter trials

Yet cold though winters hand maybe
You are not cold and dead to me
You are nearer than the birds I see
Nesting in the chestnut tree

Your roots entwined with me and mine
I am the fruit and you the vine
You are the plane and I the line
Spring is the season and the sign

That from the clay where now you lie
Grow branches that have reached the sky
And birds will nest there by and by
For everything must live and die
And so must I, and so must I...

My boyfriend thinks I am lazy because I don't do much around the house. I think it is because I am depressed, and I am on medication for this, but I am still depressed and some days find it hard to get out of bed.
I wonder if, 'laziness' can always be explained by emotional and/or pyschological difficutles, and if this is the case, then do we have th right to call people "lazy?"

I know I've posted this with the suggestion that is a philosphical question. I've only done that because I know the thinkers hang out here and will have their brains in gear. If you must give me an answer which will curdle my over-tired brain, then feel free to do so....

My teacher has given us research questions on Early American Puritians. This is one of them. She wants the specifics as to how the mattresses were made. Thanks for your help.

Firstly I know the gramer, and spelling leaves alot to be desired
but what do you think of the content?

Park Hill

note, park hill is a housing block in shefield U.K anyone who has been
through shefield knows the place! The poem is veiwing it from an
outsiders percpective and a negative one at that, not a factual account
of what it is really like to live there, just a poem about what I thought
it would be like to live there.
On to the poem,

Why did they build you, what are you for?
To house the familys that are many,
to shelter the poor?
What is it that hangs over you, that oppresive feel?
Its like the worrys and cares of your many inhabitants
have been rubbed into your walls like stains of long suffering
crumbling into cold concrete. Yet they tell me your listed,
I say your rotten meat.

For over 50 years you were left to decay and rot, though from the day you was built,
I say you were long forgot! Gray grim and bleak,damp cramped and many leaks.
A multi-sorry-story of what someones bad idea can reap.

Scar of the north, eyesore of the skys, you are just a building,
yet you make me wonder why.
Hope and fear, hate and tears, crime and lies in some 50 past years.
You have a story to tell, in 50 or so years of all kinds of Hell
of all the lives within you, where the unfortunate people dwell.
A monument to despair, may you allways stand there, Park hill.
For if not there, then stand somewhere ellse you surely will.
