Everything that comes in contact with us affects us, our lives, thoughts, bodies.

The art: Salvidor Dali's Premonitions of the Civil War

Building blocks, mere toys,
for wee girls and boys
teaches them lessons
that later bring joys.

Architects of time
shape us by design
strengthen every goal,
make us tow the line.

Bodies—machine made—
barely make the grade.
Shrinks analyze galore
poured by Gatorade.

Architects are fine
for buildings … not minds;
an education—
intelligent sign.

Freewill is a choice
to listen, give voice.
We each are unique—
with our brain as host.

Architects of time
(as ancient as rhyme)
give nature her due …
don’t e’er cross her line.
