    Chapter 1

    Solving the endless puzzles of life, Infinite times. The universe has all of Eternity
    Thus makes the inevitable life, A thing Of definite, Possibility

    (A Fighting chance)

    Solomon entered life, A month too Soon
    On the 30th day, In the month of June
    *
    Having been, A little to sick. To care For
    His parents, Did not want, Him Anymore
    *
    Three years pass, With a tube he is Fed
    Looking through the tent, Around his Bed
    *
    Familiar Faces, A slight, Blur
    And a toy, In the distance, For his hands to Lure
    *
    Trying to reach, A little gray Car
    Elizabeth reminds him, That he can't move that Far
    *
    He cried, To get his Way
    But it landed, On deaf ears, As they Say
    *
    His Strength, He must, Renew
    Because there are, Still things, He must Do

    (Solomon Versus Russ Jr. The Bully)

    Time went by, Until one Day
    A bully imagined, A trick to Play
    *
    He dug a hole, A few feet, Below
    A spot just for, Solomon to Go
    *
    Making it a game, To stand in the Pit
    Buried up to the neck, Solomon would Sit
    *
    Time progressed, All Alone
    Until a fantasy Creature, Was Shown

    Page 1

    Friendship he Reserved, For the 4 year old Lad
    Until he was exhumed, By Russ Jr's Dad
    *
    What goes around, Comes around. Is what they Say
    So now it's Russ Jr's turn, To Pay
    *
    As he walks home, To his Dismay
    He spots, The bully Russ Jr, Along the Way
    *
    Solomon try's to avoid him, But gets chased, Across the Street
    Making it ahead, Of a car, By just, A few Feet
    *
    Unfortunately for Russ Jr, He did not make it Past
    Sitting home, All alone, He wears a silly Cast

    (First Day of School)

    Off to school, For the very first Day
    Solomon's mind starts, To wander off, & Stray
    *
    The teacher tries, To grab his Awareness
    But nothing she asserts, Is of any Interest
    *
    After he provides the carpet, Bubble gum. To Taste
    The teacher sends him home, With a paper sad Face

    (Frankenstein)

    Days pass by, Until one Night
    Solomon awakes, To see a terrible Sight
    *
    It's Frankenstein, At his bedroom Door
    Too terrified, To stay conscious, He rolls over onto the Floor

    Page 2

    (See-Through Santa Claus)

    December arrives, & gifts will soon be Here
    A snow man is built, To capture the holiday Cheer
    *
    A fine top hat, With a carrot Nose
    Two sticks for arms, & eyes made from Oreos
    *
    Awakened by, A stir in the Night
    Solomon becomes an observer, To a bizarre Sight
    *
    A translucent Santa, Shifting gifts About
    In his mind, There was little Doubt
    *
    After being noticed, The jolly man hops into his Sleigh
    Outside the window, He's seen flying Away

    (String Strung Room)

    A knot tied here, Another one over There
    A web of string, Solomon ties Everywhere
    *
    It's his favorite thing, To do
    Hours go by, & new patterns Ensue

    (Tit For Tat)

    The light creeps in, As the sun starts to Rise
    Solomon notices makeup, All over himself, As he opens his Eyes
    *
    When he slept, His step sister Clara had colored his Face
    For payback he acquires a mousetrap, From it's usual Place
    *
    Picking up the trap, With the mouse that was Dead
    He hurls it onto, His step sisters Bed

    Page 3

    Chapter 2

    Energy is forever. Mixed with matter, It becomes a thing of Time
    Constantly being transferred, Expanding the room, From Behind
    Moving it efficiently, Keeps the singularity Away
    Giving life, A little bit longer to Play

    (A New Town)

    They move to a new town, With many Hills
    Far away from jersey, & the snow that Chills
    *
    At 6 years old, Solomon becomes a more creative Thinker
    Lots of new ideas, For his hands to Tinker
    *
    With a skateboard, & some scraps of Wood
    Solomon fashions an airplane, The best that he Could
    *
    Hopping on board, Down the hill, He Goes
    Enjoying himself, As he reaps, What he Sows

    (A New Friend)

    Venturing out, From the desert castle of Show
    He meets a new friend, Named Shelco
    *
    One day as they play, With a golf club & Ball
    One would swing, & the other would Fall

    Page 4

    A whoosh & a smack, To the forehead it Struck
    He tries to stop the bleeding, With not very much Luck
    *
    They run to Shelco's father, To get FirstAid
    Solomon is told, To clean up the blood, Before he can have a Bandaid
    *
    The boys played, Outside a grocery Store
    A Lamborghini Countach drove by, With a load Roar
    *
    Being Such a neat sight, Solomon knew, He'd have one Someday
    But all Shelco noticed, Was how the paint, Had faded Away

    (The Desert)

    Playing in the desert alone, Solomon loved to Choose
    So much so, That he did not need any Shoes
    *
    He would make things, Out of the Desert Land
    So much to do, In a place, With mostly Sand

    (Lambo Dream)

    One day, Solomon had a lucid Dream
    Which looked more like, A movie Scene
    *
    The countach, Moved into the Sunset real Slow
    As the picture zoomed out of the desert, To end the dream Show
    *
    The credits rolled, With Names Fictitious
    As music played to the lyrics, Life can be so Superstitious
    *
    Solomon awoke, From his long Nap
    to see a transparent, Brown dog, On his Lap

    (Show & Tell)

    The next day, for show & Tell
    A popcorn popper, Bolted to a helmet Shell

    Page 5

    Wearing it in front, Of the 2nd Grade
    All the kids laughed, At what Solomon had Made
    *
    Except for one girl, Who thought it looked Cool
    They became best of friends, Solomon & Nicole

    (Solomon Meets His Father)

    After meeting his Father, For the first Time
    Joseph says, They'll set up a tent at Nine
    *
    A backyard camp, Just father & Son
    But he didn't come back, He had to Run
    *
    Away back east, & a bottle to escape Life
    He wanders into a empty building, Alone in Strife
    *
    Drunk & cold, He tries to keep Warm
    Inside & away, From the Storm
    *
    Sirens he hears, Off in the Distance
    So he douses the fire, Because of paranoia's Insistence
    *
    Joseph leaves the Abandoned building, To take a nap on some Tracks
    The train hits, & his skull Cracks

    Chapter 3

    When energy becomes, Directed
    By the mind, With a goal Accepted
    *
    Only necessary tasks, Stand in the Way
    To hinder the less determined, From enjoying the fruits some Day
    *
    Anything asked for is Given
    & Nothing desired is Withheld

    Page 6

    (Summer Camp)

    At 8 years old, Solomon begins to think, Outside the Box
    Seeing patterns & possibilities, The keys to life's Locks
    *
    He takes apart everything, To see what makes it Tick
    Gadgets & gizmos, So many to choose from & Pick
    *
    In the summer, Solomon arrives at Camp
    Walking into the forest alone, Where it's dark & Damp
    *
    Hours pass, As he makes his way, Through the Trees
    There's something, Frightening up ahead, That he See's
    *
    A black panther, Only ten feet Away
    After Glancing into his eyes, Solomon decides not to Stay
    *
    Solomon runs & hops over a Fence
    Surviving without a scratch, & just a little bit Tense

    (Playing On The Swings)

    Before school, Solomon plays on the Swings
    To see how high he can jump, Without having Wings
    *
    They all swing, To & Fro
    Making comments, As the Go
    *
    Get out of my toilet bowl, One States
    Quit riding my coat tails, Solomon Relates

    (Solomon & his Step Father)

    Solomon liked, To ask questions A Lot
    But there was very little, That he was Taught
    *
    He asks his step father questions, & Hopes for Better
    But all he declares is that, Why is a crooked Letter

    Page 7

    (School Ends For Good)

    4th is the last grade, Solomon Completes
    The need for school, His mind Defeats
    *
    The bell rings, & it's time to Leave
    A million thoughts that day, But nothing he did Achieve
    *
    Summer begins, With the promise of much fun, To be Unfurled
    But for Solomon, There is a debt to paid, For wanting the World

    (Electrocuted by A Paint Compressor)

    Shocked & paralyzed, To Solomon's Dismay
    The 3rd time, Before 9, Solomon must be taken Away
    *
    Now he'll live, On the streets & In the Shelters
    A better place, Says the government Helpers

    Chapter 4

    An infinite interpretations, To be Tried
    Experiences in life, Cannot be Denied
    In the end, Life is Truth
    & all the answers, Are there as Proof

    (Street Lessons)

    A few years go by, & to the streets, Solomon has Turned
    For a few of life's lessons, To be Learned
    *
    Having been, Jumped into a gang, Solomon must earn Respect
    Causing mischief & mayhem, Is what You would Expect
    *
    Graffiti & Fighting, A daily Routine
    Just necessary steps, So variety, Can be Seen
    *
    Back to the shelters, Solomon Goes
    To waste more time, As he Grows
    *
    So much useful knowledge, Could have been Gained
    But then again, The system, Could have kept him Chained

    Page 8

    (Apache Reservation)

    Carlos, Wanted to get back Home
    He needed some help, So he would not just Roam
    *
    They head out on the highway, That runs through the desert Terrain
    Days go by, Without a single dropp of Rain
    *
    Lips dry, Cracked & Bleeding
    Stomach aches, Composure Fleeting
    *
    Walking just as far, As they Could
    No car to stop, They wished one Would
    *
    Sitting under, The desert Sun
    They want to cry, But no tears Run
    *
    Out of nowhere, A vehicle pulls to the Side
    A nice women with water, Takes them for a Ride
    *
    Dropped off a short distance, From their Destination
    Time for rest, & Relaxation
    *
    Then they go, The rest of the Way
    To the reservation home, They Stay
    *
    Treated like family, For being a good Friend
    Anything he needed, They would gladly Lend
    *
    Popovers turn into, Solomon's favorite Treat
    A flaky crust, With honey that's Sweet
    *
    Many days spent, At the Lake
    A place to swim, & take A Break
    *
    But like all good things, It came to an End
    The system wanted them back, & to that they would not Bend
    *
    Picked up, While having Fun
    Their sent back, to the place, They ran From

    Time goes by, & Solomon gets moved Around
    Another occasion, To the streets He is Bound

    Solomon & Ricardo, From the shelter they run Away
    To live where they want, & go where they May

    Chapter 5

    How much more is the mind, From the knowledge it Created
    Ones own impressions, & beliefs, Can easily be Debated

    (Back Home)

    Turning 16, Solomon calls Elizabeth, on the Phone
    & She says, He can now come Home

    Because science is the life, That he has Chose

    (Patterns From Possibilities)

    Solomon lays on his bed, With fixed eyes, At the Ceiling
    His favorite pastime, contented he is Feeling

    A room full of faces, But nobodies There
    Just walls & a ceiling, With people that Stare

    Page 10

    (G.E.D)

    Patterns from Possibilities, His natural Ability
    He passes the G.E.D test, In the school Facility

    Solomon figured out, The math symbols, On the Fly

    (First Marketable Product)

    A new way, To take the top, Off a Can
    So the lid, Would not cut the Hand
    *
    Opening from, The top side Around
    It was brought, To a company in Town
    *
    Patent & Market, They would do for Cash
    Solomon had no money, So it went in the Trash
    *
    Years later, He would see the product, On TV
    & wonder if those people, Had profited from Dishonesty

    (16 & First Genuine Job)

    Solomon's first job, Is at a Grocery Store
    He does Menial tasks, Such as Mop the Floor
    *
    He gets paid enough, To wet his Beak
    Unfortunately, It only lasts a Week
    *
    Just one out of 42, That Solomon would lose, Before 25
    A Fitting tribute, To the mind, That was so Alive
    *
    He'd try to Concentrate, On the tasks, That were Given
    But his mind would race, With possibilities, That would not let Him
    *
    Imagining, The best way, To start or Finish
    The hopes of completing, With perfection, Would Diminish

    Page 11

    (Desert Adventure)

    Solomon at 17, Fills a backpack with Gear
    And goes out to the desert, Without Fear
    *
    To live on the land, & get rid of Thought
    But there's nowhere to go, A lesson Solomon is Taught
    *
    Because all, Of the land, Is now Owned
    & only short durations, To the pieces, That are Loaned

    (Missouri Wilderness)

    The birds, & The Bees, Become a Chorus
    As Solomon sets up camp, In the Forest
