at the gates

At the gates I yearn for you,
Your guile and my need.
I feel your lips upon my cheek,
Crushed, I fall down to my knees.

Abandoned, left alone to cry,
I've been cursed and sacrificed.
My tears freeze in the icy wind,
Remembrence is my will.

In the world in which I only live,
I look at you for one last time.
Driven away by my own damn pride,
I am chained to you forever.

Long, lost and forgotten,
I know now I will never see the light.
The feelings and emotions,
On that chilly, black October night.

The world is just keeps right on turning,
So do I but without you.
In the shadows I remain forever,
I once was young and never knew.

I'm doing a history project about the system of checks and balances during a certain president's administration. Can anyone tell me an important piece of legislation that was passed during John Tyler's administration?

Have a History teacher explain this …………….. If they can.

Abraham Lincoln was elected to Congress in 1846
John F. Kennedy was elected to Congress in 1946

Abraham Lincoln was elected president in 1860
John F. Kennedy was elected president in 1960

Both were particularly concerned with civil rights.
Both wives lost their children while living in the White House.

Both presidents were shot on a Friday
Both Presidents were shot in the head

Now it gets weird

Lincoln's secretary was named Kennedy
Kennedy’s secretary was named Lincoln

Both were assassinated by Southerners
Both were succeeded by Southerners named Johnson

Andrew Johnson who succeeded Lincoln was born in 1808
Lyndon Johnson who succeeded Kennedy was born in 1908

John Wilkes Booth, who assassinated Lincoln, was born in1839
Lee Harvey Oswald, who assassinated Kennedy, was born in 1939

Both assassins were known by their three names

This is a question I have been asked recently, and in all honesty I'm not really sure, so I thought I'd throw it out for some input on what you think.
We obviously reject the notion of God based on reason, and empirical scientific data failing to provide us with any proof.

Now when it comes to us as physical human beings we can explain things like attraction, and natural sexual instincts.
But what is love? I and many atheists I know would declare ourselves either in love, or to have been in love at some point. So how do we account for our "belief" in a concept which has no real proof?
The accusation is that love is just a feeling, or a notion, upon which I should not base any sensible thought or action when it can't be proved.
Part of the argument is that what happens when we are in love can be recreated through endorphins/serotonin, even chocolate! If it's just a chemical reaction shouldn't we dismiss love in a similar way to we dismiss faith?

Your ideas will be appreciated..

I need a new book, but I just don't know where to start.....

Ive just finished reading all the 'Odd Thomas' books by Dean Koontz and found them very enjoyable.....i would like to read something along the same lines but from a different author,

Something thats different and has a few twists, i don't just want a plain detective story.,


Thanks for any recommendations.....the best one gets the points.

How different is "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" from its American counterpart "Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone"? Is the only difference the reference to the stone, or are there other cultural differences?

THE ANCIENT PLAINTIVE SONG

The wind blows over the fields now
As it did so long ago
And through the grass on the silent mounds
Its notes begin to blow
A plaintive tune
To which we bow
As we stand on these grounds
And think not yet of what we sow
Beneath the meadow's brow.

We've planted many fields.

And still the wind blows on.

Knowing what we know not,

Receiving what we've sown.

We stand and fall, but think not,

As wind blows on and on.


Blow to a flame our embers,

Warmth that now rests in earth,

Sinews rejoin to members,

Give to the fallen birth,

Those of the wars long past

The silent rebound at the trumpet,

Graves break with life at last.

Summer Storm

The gray sky darkens
Silver leaves upturning
Crashing, pounding, now resounding
Flashing, singeing, nature cringing
Torrential floods begin
Thirsty earth drinks in moisture
Harder still the rain it lashes
Suddenly the lightning flashes
And a large limb breaks and crashes
Dying as the storm now gone.

There -
The not-place:
Island of ideals, paradise perfection,
Where,
In fields of gold,
Life is peace and Earth is free;
There,
Pure harmony,
No suffering, and eternal youth.

Here?
In fields of blood,
The bullet rules, and lies are truth;
Here -
The ill-place;
Ideals exist, but we hold sway:
The destruction factor

On Waking from a Dream
I walk through the sky every night on my way to dawn

And in my dreaming pass countless stars upon the way

Aurora's skirt my trail upon the coast that marks the northern sky

And meets the rainbow as it dips to earth

In myriad colours as my eyes flash into light

Clouds give way to sun and darkness disappears

As once again the day takes hold anew

My feet refreshed begin a firmer course.
