Some need more work still. And not nearly as epic as the Man from Keravva-enjoy!

That Day we said Goodbye

by Ben Wheeldon

I remember there that day we said goodbye.

i still can see the light shine from your eyes.

and then there was the feeling too

The one I got and always knew was you.

I know you felt it too.

I saw the Eagle in the air

It seemed to be beyond all care

Lifting up with every wind that blew

It gave me that same feeling

The One I got and always knew was you.



To The Soldier Gone On (after the funeral of a soldier)

by Ben Wheeldon

A great task remaining…remaining…remaining

Echoes still of Gettysburg are heard once more today.

The whisper on the wind over poppies in Flandeurs field sweep in.

The rain on Normandy holds a drop in reserve for today.

The men on Iwo Jima raise high the flag again..

Another member of the living is promoted..

Having given through his Living, all that was possible to pay.

...We who live in peace have yet a task remaining

indebted for those who died in war.. to live on.

SL Psalm of Life

by Ben Wheeldon

Tell me not in digital dirge binary

Virtual existence is but an empty screen

For the SL profile is dead on standby

And some profiles are not all that they may seem

SL is illusion, SL is a dream

And the real world is not it’s goal

From bits and bytes thou wast not taken

To bits and bytes thou wilt not go.

While Downloads may be long, and SL procrastination time is fleeting

And our pc’s though stout and thelatestgreatestgizmotohitthemarket

Will with motherboard overclocking.

Finally Send data bits on their way.

In the profile space of social interaction

In the menagerie of virtual friends

Be not the average sl AVI

Be an entertaining updating megalomaniac

giving bullets without end.
