The Sky Lark
By: John Bishop
We hardly see this twittering bird,
Mystery abounds only sounds are heard,
Pylons stretching for miles around,
Golden cornfields its terrain abound.
Moths and butterflies all in view,
After sucking the morning dew,
See the sparrowhawk fluttering high,
A scurrying rabbit catches its eye.

It drops like stone out of the blue,
A shimmering sun blurs its hue,
A startled rabbit sniffs the air,
Danger threatens must beware.

Its warren beckons yards apace,
Hope indeed in this deadly chase,
In it goes quick as a flash,
The screeching hawk lands with a crash.

High above the lark still sings,
What joyous melody this chatterbox brings,
All day long it entertains,
Only dusk can still this refrain.

Mystery surrounds this melodious bird,
Visual contact almost unheard,
Come days end it leaves the sky,
Still unsighted from human eye.

Pop ups are annoying jobee, there's too many, they're on every page.
I see your a Bishop, thats handy, you can claim tax excemption

HATTER-I dont wanna tell lies from the pulpit- if they cant prove heaven exists why dont they just SHUT UP--YES i noticed pop ups are annoying
YOU keep popping up everywhere-

Can you prove heaven doesn't exist Jobee?

probably-i am a great fan of einstein-every couple of hundred years a real genious is born-he said there is no god as portrayed by the church-there is only nature-trillions of miles- even light years of cold -silent space-i cannot think of anyone in the church with the brain or imagination of albert E-

no, no, no, jobee. Can you PROVE it. not just quote somebody saying it.. even if they are a 'genious'

look-there is no up or down in the universe-so up to heaven and down to hell is bullcrap-and it must be standing room only by now if it does exist-
and who wants to meet all those sado/masochist suicide bombers they thought they were going up there-

we will worry about where it is later, but for now, you still haven't (can't) prove heaven does not exist. dont worry about how big it is, or where for now.

You need to put his quotes in context Jobee. Einstein very clearly believed in God.

He recognized the impossibility of a non-created universe and this actually motivated his interest in science, as he once remarked to a young physicist:

"I want to know how God created this world, I am not interested in this or that phenomenon, in the spectrum of this or that element. I want to know His thoughts, the rest are details."

Einstein's famous epithet on the "uncertainty principle" was "God does not play dice" - and to him this was a real statement about a God in whom he believed.

A famous saying of his was "Science without religion is lame, religion without science is blind."

ok chillet ive already said"there is no up or down in the universe" where do you think heaven exists-AS -portrayed by the church.

my conception of heaven IS- you die -you know nothing-equals paradise-
ALL church leaders throughout the world are con men

Your quoting Hitler in that last couple of lines- here is Einstein at his best
fighting to stave off those lying- posers-murderous- power mad- pimping-
-sly-paedophilic- 'BONE' idle 'BUMS' and punks-no good to humanity what so ever-who wouldent know the truth if it smacked them in the face-----

"It was, of course, a lie what you read about my religious convictions, a lie which is being systematically repeated. I do not believe in God and I have never denied this but have expressed it clearly. If something is in me which can be called religious then it is the unbounded admiration for the structure of the world so far as our science can reveal it."
[Albert Einstein, 1954, from "Albert Einstein: The Human Side", edited by Helen Dukas and Banesh Hoffman, Princeton University Press]

praying IS stupid-j

clearly you dont have to die to know nothing.... you still haven't proved there is no heaven.. do you want to try prove there is no god, instead?

yes there is heaven- ive just told you 'to know nothing is paradise-what did you know before you were born-NOTHING- to know and feel nothing is paradise- to know nothing is heaven-ALL church admin are posers-liars-and just making a living-the best way forward for humanity is to forget god--

M'lud, the prosecution rests....

What planet are you on?

Of course, its what you fail to omit that is most relevant.

AE in childhood was a devout Jew. He even took lessons to combat the Christian teachings of his schooling. As he discovered science, he discarded his religon, but not his faith. HE ALWAYS BELIEVED IN GOD !!!!!

Then, the most important aspect that you fail to mention, he returned to his faith in later life, mainly due to the effects of WW2.
