Einstein was right
time is like a relative
you don’t like.
I planted a potato
certain it’s tree
would shade me eventually
I chained myself
to the opinion of others
then misplaced the key
I armored myself
to avoid love’s pain
and rusted in solitude
.

what is our purpose, if not to help,
why do we say these things, when they're not felt,
so focused on our next big break,
we've forgotten everyone it takes.
not meant to sit alone, meant to stand & test,
for those who refuse, for those who can't,
our helping hands only help so much,
set up against social norms & Picassos,
left to bludgeon, burgeon & bargain,
still only to be second best,
what Einstein life is this,
not one we lose to win.

Sometime in a quantum flux, a particle imagined us,
Thought creation worth a fling, and threw the dice to start this thing.
A particle that thinks it’s God? I know that sounds a little odd,
But even worse, it has a vice, a particle that plays with dice.

My Love for You
Inspires my soul to expand
Ignites poetry
Allows me to feel the creation within me
I live in a place with you where the world is technicolor
Sharper
Crisper
Vibrant
I live in a place with you
Calmer
Safer
Sweeter
Loved
Happiness abounds it is free
like a twirling Goddess in the Sun
There is flow
Tapped into inspired thought energy
Imagination released and running wild
Free to be Me
Free to be We
Just the thought of you, my love,
Carries my soul to places filled with glimpses dispersed complete unfolding
A Beautiful symphony
Bringing me closer to the divine
In Me
In You
In Us
In We
I’m sorry it took me so long to see
Don’t think, just feel
Allow
Stop resisting the only truth
Love unexplained
Powerful
Magical
Capable
A mystery when allowed is not mysterious at all
Thinking turned to feeling
Turned to allowing
A powerhouse
A pulse
A force
Divinity to flow through me, opening up the lines of inspiration
I would call you my muse, the very person I can say turned it all on, brought it to my doorstep and then stood in the shadows until I could feel it so deeply that I could no longer deny its existence
In the process, I grew to love myself so deeply, an example you set for me
I love me to the depths
AND
I love you to the depths
AND
that love, the complete acceptance of you and me, allows me to feel the beautiful world around me wholly and completely
Calling you a muse would be wrong though
You are the one that brought me face to face with love in all of its forms
Knowing even when you weren’t present, Love remained
You allowed me to know Love, the truly powerful force that Albert Einstein described in his letter to his daughter:
“This universal force is LOVE.
When scientists looked for a unified theory of the universe they forgot the most powerful unseen force.
Love is Light, that enlightens those who give and receive it.
Love is gravity, because it makes some people feel attracted to others.
Love is power, because it multiplies the best we have, and allows humanity not to be extinguished in their blind selfishness.
Love unfolds and reveals.
For love we live and die.
Love is God and God is Love.
This force explains everything and gives meaning to life. This is the variable that we have ignored for too long, maybe because we are afraid of love because it is the only energy in the universe that man has not learned to drive at will. - Albert Einstein”

Some focus on today's treasure to save
Others on the things their soul crave
But we focus on beyond the grave
Beyond the grave in our works
Beyond the grave in our words
Beyond the grave in our ways
Beyond the grave in melody
Beyond the grave in memory
Beyond the grave in history
Beethoven still lives in sheet musics
Einstein still lives in scientific works
We live on Hello Poetry
Let's live beyond the grave

ALBERT EINSTEIN POEMS
These are "poems" I created from Albert Einstein quotes, changing a word here and there for the sake of meter and rhyme...
A question that sometimes drives me hazy:
am I or are the others crazy?
—Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Relativity and the 'Physics' of Love
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Sit next to a pretty girl for an hour,
it seems like a minute.
Sit on a red-hot stove for a minute,
it seems like an hour.
That's relativity!
Oh, it should be possible
to explain the laws of physics
to a barmaid! ...
but how could she ever,
in a million years,
explain love to an Einstein?
All these primary impulses,
not easily described in words,
are the springboards
of man's actions—because
any man who can drive safely
while kissing a pretty girl
is simply not giving the kiss
the attention it deserves!
Solitude
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Solitude is painful
when one is young,
but delightful
when one is more mature.
I live in that solitude
which was painful in my youth,
but seems delicious now,
in the years of my maturity.
Now it gives me great pleasure, indeed,
to see the stubbornness
of an incorrigible nonconformist
so warmly acclaimed...
and yet it seems vastly strange
to be known so universally
and yet be so lonely.
Morality
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Still, as far as I'm concerned,
I prefer silent vice
to ostentatious virtue:
I don't know,
I don't care,
and it doesn't make any difference!
Against Hubris
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Science without religion is lame,
religion without science is blind,
and whoever undertakes to establish himself
as the judge of Truth and Knowledge
is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.
War and Peace
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
But heroism on command,
senseless violence,
and all the loathsome nonsense
that goes by the name of patriotism:
how passionately I hate them!
Perfection of means
and confusion of ends
seem to characterize our age
and it has become appallingly obvious
that our technology
has exceeded our humanity,
that technological progress
is like an axe in the hands of a pathological criminal,
and that the attempt to combine wisdom and power
has only rarely been successful
and then only for a short while.
It is my conviction
that killing under the cloak of war
is nothing but an act of ******
(I do not know what weapons
World War III will be fought with,
but World War IV will be fought
with sticks and stones.)
Oh, how I wish that somewhere
there existed an island
for those who are wise
and of goodwill! ...
In such a place even I
would be an ardent patriot,
for I am not only a pacifist,
but a militant pacifist.
I am willing to fight for peace,
for nothing will end war
unless the people themselves
refuse to go to war.
Our task must be to free ourselves
by widening our circle of compassion
to embrace all living creatures
and the whole of nature and its beauty.
And peace cannot be kept by force;
it can only be achieved by understanding.
Mystery
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
There are two ways to live your life:
one is as though nothing is a miracle,
the other is as though everything is a miracle.
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious:
it is the source of all true art and all science.
He to whom this emotion is a stranger,
who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe,
is as good as dead: his eyes are closed.
Curiosity
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
The important thing is not to stop questioning.
Curiosity has its own reason for existing.
One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates
the mysteries of eternity,
of life,
of the marvelous structure of reality.
It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day.
Never lose a holy curiosity.
People do not grow old no matter how long we live.
We never cease to stand like curious children
before the great Mystery into which we were born.
Character
by Albert Einstein, interpretation by Michael R. Burch
Great spirits have often encountered violent opposition from weak minds
because anger dwells only in the ***** of fools
and weakness of attitude soon becomes weakness of character.
Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity (and I'm not sure about the former) ;
furthermore, we can't solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
The world is a dangerous place: not just because of the people who are evil,
but also because of the good people who don't do anything about it.
He who joyfully marches to music rank and file has already earned my contempt:
he has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would surely suffice.
These are poem about Albert Einstein or in which I mention him ...
Excerpts from “Travels with Einstein”
by Michael R. Burch
I went to Berlin to learn wisdom
from Adolph. The wild spittle flew
as he screamed at me, with great conviction:
“Please despise me! I look like a Jew!”
So I flew off to ’Nam to learn wisdom
from tall Yankees who cursed “yellow” foes.
“If we lose this small square,” they informed me,
earth’s nations will fall, dominoes!”
I then sat at Christ’s feet to learn wisdom,
but his Book, from its genesis to close,
said: “Men can enslave their own brothers!”
(I soon noticed he lacked any clothes.)
So I traveled to bright Tel Aviv
where great scholars with lofty IQs
informed me that (since I’m an Arab)
I’m unfit to lick dirt from their shoes.
At last, done with learning, I stumbled
to a well where the waters seemed sweet:
the mirage of American “justice.”
There I wept a real sea, in defeat.

The Cosmological Constant
by Michael R. Burch
Einstein the frizzy-haired
claimed E equals MC squared.
Thus all mass decreases
as activity ceases?
Not my mass, my *** declared!
ASStronomical
by Michael R. Burch
Relativity, the theorists’ creed,
claims mass increases with speed.
My (m)ass grows when I sit it.
Mr. Einstein, get with it;
equate its deflation, I plead!
Relative to Whom?
by Michael R. Burch
Einstein’s theory, incredibly silly,
says a relative grows willy-nilly
at speeds close to light.
Well, his relatives might,
but mine grow their m(asses) more stilly!
Relative Theory I
by Michael R. Burch
Einstein’s "relative" theory
says masses increase, all too clearly,
at speeds close to light.
Well, his relatives’ might,
but mine grow their m(asses) more stilly!
Relative Theory II
by Michael R. Burch
Einstein’s peculiar theory
excludes all my relatives, clearly,
since my relatives’ *****
increase their prone masses
while approaching light speed—not nearly!
Relative Theory III
by Michael R. Burch
Relativity, we’re led to believe,
proves masses increase with great speed.
But it seems my huge family
must be an anomaly;
since their (m)asses increase, gone to seed!
A Child’s Christmas Prayer of Despair for a Hindu Saint
Santa Claus,
for Christmas, please,
don’t bring me toys, or games, or candy . . .
just . . . Santa, please,
I’m on my knees! . . .
please don’t let Jesus torture Gandhi!
Will Jesus Christ cause or allow Albert Einstein and Mahatma Gandhi to be tortured in an "eternal hell" for guessing wrong about which earthly religion to believe? What about Jesus's parable of the Good Samaritan, who put aside religious differences to practice compassion? Did Jesus, who saved all his sternest criticism for hypocrites, talk the talk but fail to walk the walk himself? Or did Christian theologians get something very, very wrong? And what would Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny say about such intolerance and infinite cruelty?
The Top Ten Einstein Quotations: The Wit and Wisdom of Albert Einstein
You never truly understand something until you can explain it to your grandmother.
We all know that light travels faster than sound. That's why certain people appear bright until we hear them speak.
Only two things are infinite: the universe and human stupidity (and I'm not sure about the former) .
The difference between stupidity and genius is that genius has its limits.
An intellectual solves a problem. A genius avoids it.
The only reason for time is so that everything doesn't happen at once.
The most incomprehensible thing about the world is that it is at all comprehensible.
The hardest thing in the world to understand is the income tax.
Not everything that can be counted counts, and not everything that counts can be counted.
Gravitation is not responsible for people falling in love!

Albert Einstein
Expanded our view beyond the skyline
Reluctant superstar and intellectual force
Relatively speaking, of course!
***
Poetry notes:
Albert Einstein's childhood nickname was "the ***** one." Einstein reportedly was slow in learning how to talk. That, combined with his tendency to whisper words softly to himself before saying them aloud led the family maid to nickname him "der Depperte"—the ***** one, according to "Einstein: His Life and Universe."

If I could be a fly on Einstein’s wall
I’d buzz about from chair to curtain
watch him check out plans and gadgets
and scratch remarks on his papers.
When the clock edged to noon
his stomach would growl,
he’d fold up the prints and say,
“It’s a relatively short walk to the café.”
With Albert out I’d take the run of the place -
practicing banks and dips and vertical lifts.
I’d munch on scraps of Brie and fowl
left fused to the edge of his table.
When the tumblers turned
I’d buzz back to my wall, eager to witness
whatever this sage would chance to say.
He’d go to his desk to file reports
and stack them neatly into a tray.
Without warning he’d rise from his chair
scattering papers across the floor.
“MASS AND ENERGY ARE ONE, ” he’d shout, -
“CRUSHED TOGETHER BY TIME! ”
I’d buzz and swoop and fly circles and loops
and taxi in on his collar.
I’d beat my wings to cool his brain.
But wait…Whose voice do I hear?
Oh, it’s you gentle reader.
“Stop, hold it right there, ****** pest!
It couldn’t have happened that way!
Have you no shame or respect for God’s truth? ”
But I’d stare you down with my compound eye
and scornfully twitch my wings.
Consider this, troubled sir,
you’re the one scolding a talking fly.

The Secrets
It is mind which brings for what you yearn;
This is the gist of book by Byrne.
“Thoughts are contagious.” I changed mine.
“Let them be positive” said Einstein
Energy, frequency and vibes you ever knew
Are the secrets in Tesla's view.
What Buddha had told made my head reel;
“You can attract what you feel.”
“If you think you lack nothing” said Lao Tzu
“The whole world belongs to you.”

Black as coal
Darker than a moonless night sans stars
As blind to sight as a blizzard to a
snowflake
is this mystery
drawn
compelled
inexplicable
Yet with sooooooooooooooo many black holes one has to wonder
How ever does this universe exist?
Einstein would have thot it child's play
"Simple you bafoons,
One creates the chaotic world they exist in
and
the other is throughly entrenched in the theory of a chaotic universe —
so no matter the
head banging
there is a river running thru
and rivers of l o v e
are rare
And when found
run

than imagining.
Flowing strong
from time immemorial till time ceases to exist.
But rivers
Be they crashing as white water over hidden boulders
or pooled
black as night
masquerading as swimming holes
never,never,never run clear and bubbling
Like brooks strayed from streams.
rivers are a. L. I. V. E
In constant f, l, u,x
Always flowing
Ever moving.
So why are you surprised to witness this miracle? E=MC2 "
[Silly, expecting constancy when change is the only constant to be true]

I sometimes forget that I do work hard.
I'm no Einstein heaven knows
I do put in the effort though
And when the results come back
I tell myself I deserved it
for not practicing enough
But when I reap what I sow
And life starts piecing itself together
I feel good
I don't hesitate to show my accomplishments
Because there are only so many aspects of life
that one can say they have conquered
I feel blessed to say that I will aspire to be greater
And I will continue to challenge my intellectual muse,
Mentally, Emotionally, Physically.
We all will study the music,
and one day we will harmonize.

Maecenas' stable of prostitutes
is in the embrace
of him that sat & paid much more
for the excessive
guarantee of water being transferred
to the water that flows away the remnant
of the house towards them of the waters
of the ladies openly w/in the covenant
concluded w/ a chorus of prostitutes,
it is not binding, but Einstein's Maecenas
of it in the abstract, ardent devotion
of the early in the morning brings
the temple of the plastic abstract stand in
w/ the steering of Einstein's chorus
of the nature of the conversion
of the ****** incompatible w/ nothing at all

Einstein-Rosen Bridge
"A wormhole can be visualized as a tunnel with two ends, each at separate points in spacetime (i.e., different locations and/or different points of time), or by a transcendental bijection of the spacetime continuum." -Wikipedia
UFO
A metallic or translucent disk with
little people, gray skin, large eyes
also translucent or ephemeral and
moving within a fixed space.
Ask yourself;
"What do people from the future look like?"
"What would someone see if they looked through the other end of your tunnel?"
Think about it;
"In the future our Sun becomes destabilized altering the physics of our local space therefore an Einstein-Rosen Bridge is possible once the star begins to collapse."
Our Sun is dying
We are studying the past...
not physically here,
craft move erratically
because they are not physical.
The other end of the bridge.
They are us.
The tunnel moves, jostles
as physics, space-time, change.
Who watches The Watchers?
Physical beings cannot
travel through time,
Can they see through it?
Can you?
You're traveling through time right now,
in your mind,
with your imagination.
What does the other end of your tunnel look like?

Inspiration©
In moments of reflection
I ponder, what inspires us
What makes one human being
Happy, delighted, having fun
And another sad, less enthusiastic,
Dreary, down trodden, seemingly on the run
Why do those impelled to change the world
Live alongside those that seem to be along for a ride
How can we have an Einstein
In amongst the sublime
What pip or kernel separates
The inspired from the tired
Does it arrive through some gene
Or something else not foreseen
Can it be developed through age and wisdom
Allowing us to become sage
Is it a seed or
A need
I scratch my head
Time for bed
Another day I will revive this quest
For now I just need some rest

I'm still uncertain when I have to help others.
My mind tells me secret things
About them.
Sometimes I escape people,
I look away,
Like the Germans did
Towards the campus,
A university
Of injustice.
They thought they were smarter
Than Einstein.
Sometimes children
Acting out,
Teenagers being stood up,
A friend supporting another.
I have an imaginary friend,
He tells me those secrets,
And some wicked ones,
He makes me thirsty,
He makes my brain dry.
The teen doesn't know it yet,
He'll never be more than just a friend.
