The poem was inspired by David Diop’s Poem “Vultures”
Vultures
In those days, when civilization kicked us in the face the vultures built in the shadows of their talons the blood-stained monument of tutelage.
David Diop - (born July 9, 1927, Bordeaux, Fr.—died 1960, Dakar, Senegal), was one of the most talented French West African poets of the 1950s, whose tragic death in an airplane crash cut short a promising career.
Diop’s works in Coups de pilon (1956; “Pounding”), his only surviving collection, are angry poems of protest against European cultural values, enumerating the sufferings of his people first under the slave trade and then under the domination of colonial rule and calling for revolution to lead to a glorious future for Africa.

About this Poem:For generations our populations have been controlled by a few through a complex web of lies and illusions. We’ve been fed these lies our entire lives, but as the internet opened doors to challenge the controllers of the system, an information war began to wage around the world. For some, belief in the system’s programs will continue to their death. But for others, they will awaken and see the illusion for what it is and correct their path making amends, forgiving some and moving onto a whole new world that functions in a higher state of consciousness.
The message - Shed the ego, see the truth, repair your bridges and build new ones.
About this Poem:The theory of biorhythm starts from the fact that since birth, man, or more precisely, his emotional, physical and intellectual abilities pass through favorable, unfavorable and critical moments. One easy way to understand or recognize the biorhythm is when you notice there are days when you feel good with no apparent reason.
Biorhythms describe energy levels and the capacity for performance on 3 Primary levels: physical, emotional and intellectual.
The emotional biorhythm governs the nervous system and lasts for 28 days. The same length as the Moon's cycle. It relates to one’s emotional stability or stress level which influences our emotional states, affecting love/hate, optimism/pessimism, passion/coldness, depression/elation.
The intellectual biorhythm lasts for 33 days and relates to one’s mental capabilities, creativity, and aptitude to solve problems. The cycle influences our memory, alertness, speed of learning, reasoning ability and accuracy of computation.
The physical biorhythm lasts for 23 days and is related to your physical energy, strength, health, stamina.
The cycle effects the physical aspect of the body and encompasses one’s energy level, resistance, and ones overall physical strength and endurance. The cycle influences physical factors such as eye-hand coordination, strength, endurance, and resistance to disease. During the negative half of cycle, you are likely to have less energy and less vitality.
There are 4 Secondary Bio-rhythms that can also measured in cycles: Spiritual (53 days), Awareness (48 days), Aesthetic (43 days), Intuition (38 days)
Biorhythms are calculated using simple math and graphing the data over a cycle of time
To know and understand your biorhythms is to be one step up as to when making important decisions.
To calculate, enter your date of birth and today's date (or the date for which you want to see the biorhythm diagram) and then click calculate
Definition: Sinusoidal is a word used to describe the mathematical wave form or pattern of the sine wave. It can also be used to describe blood flow to the body’s organs or in AC electronics where one cycle begins at zero, peaks to a maximum positive point, descends towards the zero, then to the maximum negative point and back to the zero point. The form is based on a unit of time where 1/Time = frequency and is applicable to everything including the many differentcycles within our star.
About this Poem: As time grows shorter and the end draws near, I find I'm reading and writing more while coming into phase with the universe and the realities on earth...Something I wrote while reading the book, "The Quest for Hermes Trismegistus".
