Religion & Spirituality > Christianity (Other) Is the recent increase in natural disasters God's judgement?

1 of 33

Can an increase in natural disasters be clearly demonstrated? Perhaps this perceived rise in catstrophes is more a reflection of the speed of global communication and greater awareness of events on the other side of the world than any sort of dire warning, divine or otherwise. Recent high profile events like Hurricane Katrin...

Relationships & Family > Gay & Lesbian Issues Are people born gay?

2 of 52

The most that can be said thus far is there probably exists a genetic component to homosexuality. However, no single "gay gene" or has ever been identified as the cause of homosexual behavior. In short, no one knows for certain if people are born gay or decide to be gay, though perhaps the most likely truth is a combination ...

My Long Drive Home Looking forward, ever forward, Eyes glazed, feet cramped, Hands contorted to grasp the wheel, I inhale and think not of My knotted stomach, Which cries for an unpackaged meal. Sighing, my glassy eyes behold A red, blinking light Atop another silent skyline. And around it, expressways wind Over unwalked sid...

Sciences > Disease & Illness Could the AIDS virus be viewed as a natural way to stabilize population growth?

1 of 20

Or course the AIDS virus COULD be viewed as a natural way to stabilize population growth, but only if the "viewer" is ignorant or callous. HIV's impact on humans has been disastrous, but erratic. To view it as a kind of brake on population expansion seems a stretch of Yoga-like proportions, not to mention an absurd justifica...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Secrets

One Slow Walk One moment breathes life Into a heart that was dead. One slow walk in the field, Across an empty creek bed. In a small, humid tree grove On a tired afternoon, When spring straddles summer, Those long days in June. Alone in the city, A pensive smile on your face. How could a good secret Be kept in this place? Ou...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Death

Funeral At Sea I attended a funeral at sea. There was no ship resembling a hearse, Nor a line of boats following behind. Coast guards on jet skis Did not halt marine traffic. No minister delivered a sermon; No words hovered above the water To be cast away by the ocean breeze, And not a single gun, let alone twenty one. Only ...

HUMANS NEED NOT APPLY I walk on two legs and don't lay eggs So I can't be no reptile, No snake in the grass, no crocodile, Profile like a smile but get too close and you're toast. You only want sheep, dumb, you won't hear a peep from. Human beings don't get seen; the scam, the sham Is that Mary hired a little lamb. I don't t...

Y'all Crazy Y'all crazy! Try to squeeze the sap out of that spruce tree, Sing to the fish. Why? Drink all that fruity liquor through a straw, Skateboard round the circle And scrape your knees on the ancient bricks. What's your problem? Jump off those cliffs into the gravel pit, Fools got pulled over for drunk diving Before t...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Hometowns

5 of 31

You Are Now Here This is not a town; The trees were cut To board windows shut. The silos were knocked down. No barns were razed, Just left to rot. The farms were bought By co-ops, unfazed. Where did they go? Old women sighed When old men died. Children abducted by Chicago, Indianapolis, Detroit. The crops still yield But onl...

Creative Writing > Poetry Poetry: Homemaking

Prequel She swept out all her closets in Spring. Each weary door came agape with a groan. She displayed no sentiment for anything, Thrusting out dust in the swirl of a cyclone. She trashed the black t-shirts he'd left behind, Their crumpled images faded and worn. Belatedly, she had responded in kind To him bailing out when t...
