The Mind Game

When is the last time you've heard of a boy and his employer going to dig up famous people's skulls to study the brain and some one's characteristics? Well that's the exact case for Matthew, an orphaned boy after his whole family died from the cholera epidemic. He has had to dig through trash cans, make shelter out of the streets, and survive with no money. Until now. Dr. ABC and Matthew will go on a wild ride to find the perfection of human kind.


Matthew Morrissey was born and raised just as every child is. But once death strikes his whole family, he is on his own. He lives on the street until one day, he comes past a help wanted sign for Dr. ABC and his phrenology business. He goes to the address that it says on the sign and ends up on the fourth floor of an apartment building with a short, plump man named Dr. ABC. Dr. ABC is in the business of phrenology which is the study of the mind that can detect a person's personality and characteristics. Dr. ABC hopes that some day, he can make man-kind perfect.


To truly test Matthew's loyalty to the him, Dr. ABC, puts him to his biggest task yet. Dr. ABC and Matthew go to the prison to dig up none other than Henry Bedlow. Matthew was tentative at first but eventually followed through with the plan. Dr. ABC wants Matthew to become his apprentice phrenologist when he grows up so Matthew studies many subjects including french, Latin, biology and many more subjects. For now, Matthew just cleans up around and helps Dr. ABC with his appointments. Dr. ABC's business was running really low and nobody was coming. Matthew decided to make a sign and the people started to flood into Dr. ABC's workplace.

Once Dr. ABC and Matthew got enough money, they moved onto many many more cities. Well there was one major news line that came up. The French were going and digging up Napoleon Bonapart. This was great news for the two for he is one of the greatest leaders to every step foot on the earth. They obviously went and while the French waited until the 25th anniversary of his exile, Matthew and Dr. ABC came up with a plan to dig him up while nobody was there. While they put their plan into action just 2 nights before his digging up by the French. They ran into a brick wall on their way. The bodysnatcher. While Gin attacked the bodysnatcher, Matthew and Dr. ABC didn't know what to do. Eventually, Matthew tried to pull Gin off because they were on the edge of the cliff. It was too late. Although Gin was alright, the bodysnatcher had fallen onto the rocks that lead into the ocean. He was gone forever. Dr. ABC and Matthew had not gone to do their duggery on Napoleon and left him to the French. They returned back to the ship with not a sense of pride but pitty for they had wasted at human's life.

Matthew and Dr. ABC were two phrenologists on a mission that is yet to be completed. Though they made a vallient effort, they did not succeed but still have a bright future ahead of them. They have created a great bond and a friendship that will last forever.

The Poetry Within

The one thing need for life

A brain

The only thing that is hard enough to hold it

A head

How it is studied

Bumps

Where is it recorded

The divine place that keeps everything

How do we know it's there

Everyday studies

Who will make it possible

Everyone and Anyone

What does it make known

Personality and smarts

What makes it realistic

Phrenology

When will it save all of the people in the world

Right now

The Meaning of Love

What is the meaning of love. Is there a point. If you ask yourself, what is love, what would you say. Everybody has love and uses it daily. It's what separates us from good and bad. Love is a healthy behavior that helps us through everyday life. What makes us happy when we're sad and brings us up when we're down. Love is a life-long needed skill and is always needed no matter where you are, when you are, and what you are.

Love is a word that cannot be described and will not be defined. It defies all odds. It doesn't give and doesn't break unless you make it break. Love doesn't control you, you control love and it will do everything and anything. It can make your day good or bad but it always pushes and exceeds expectations. When love brings you down, it is always the thing that once again, brings you back up. It is the light in the dark. It will make anything and everything good if you want it to. It can and will make a foggy day clear and will fill a picture that is black and white, with color.

A world without love. What would it be like. If you ask me, it would be a world of hopelessness and chaos. Without love, nothing would be the way it is and everything would take a wild turn down the drain until the world is one of not happy, helpful people, but a dystopic, sad, world full of hatred. There would be no holidays, no giving of thanks and no helpful hand to hold. There would be no guide to life and it would be one big mess and there would be no point of living. Nothing that wasn't right at first would not be set right. A world without love is a world of treachery and despair. No beginning, but always an end.

Anyplace and everyplace is filled with love. It is only certain places where you can make your heart flow and pour out everything that you have. It's a special place in your mind and only you know where it is. It's where you can do anything and everything with your heart and you are isolated for the moment and go to the place where you want to be at that moment. You can be you and no one else. You are the only thing that matters. It is where anything that is built up inside you, comes out. Your heart can pour out what has been locked inside for what feels like ages and nothing can be filtered out but everything is real and true.

When you think of love, the only way to describe it would be a passion because everyone has their viewpoint of the meaning but it is all something that has to do with passion. When you think about what love means to you, there are millions of answers and almost all are different. Love is one thing that everybody shares and is one of the only thing everybody shares. It is the thing that brings the world as a whole together. It is the thread in a scarf. It packs us tightly together and helps us become acquainted with each other. It bounds us together as a whole so that we may communicate and understand one another like never before.

Love is like a endless circle. It just keeps on coming. It is a relentless act that keeps pushing to make everything happy. It is the thing that makes your heart pump with joy every day. It makes your heart pound with ease. It makes you relax into a different world that is like no other. It is a world full of happy things. It makes a world that when is damaged, can be healed. It repairs hearts that are scarred with many filthy truths. It is a clenser that will flush out all evil and hold onto all good and make the world a bright place to live.
