Somewhere in space there lies a place,
That connects two dimensions in time.
A warped oasis a man forced faces,
When presented with 2 states of mind.
Twisting and turning, never converging,
Conjoining two disjointed schemes.
Resisting and yearning, forever diverging,
Thoughts remembered in dreams.
Somber moments of relaxed coma,
Create quite a perplexed surreal.
Whispered illusions, contort confusion,
Sustain the tight vortex concealed.
Once you've arrived on the other side,
What's apparent is things look the same.
You soon realize there's no place to hide,
Transparency's one of life's game.
Somewhere in space there lies an escape,
A bridge to a parallel world.
A path one can take, to ease mental breaks,
Where time's dimensions unfurl.
Portholes exist that scientists insist,
Pierce man's perception of time.
Tunnels amidst a black cosmic abyss,
Wormholes that fester the mind.

This is an Acrostic...
Famous Man of Science,
Atomic point of view,
Tested time compliance,
Had Newton's Laws reviewed.
Extemporary genius,
Relativity brilliant man,
Original quantum physicist,
Found time in many of his plans.
Man of German and Jew decent,
Often pictured with bad hair,
Defined the world through uncommon sense,
Explored gravity and emc squared.
Received Nobel Prize in '21,
Nuclear power conceiver.
Philadelphia Experiment dreamweaver,
Held black holes mostly devour.
Yet wormholes cut through time.
Science to him was ultimate power,
In theory and in mind.
Came to America in '33
Survived til '55.

This poem is written to describe the accompanying art by RougePriest of the OP site - thank you Dan. In addition to being a poet, Dan is a very accomplished artist as well. Be sure to checkout the other poems I have written to his art - Faces of Infernal Destruction and Self-Denied, Satisfied and Crucified. This poem is also dedicated to the book and 1938 radio broadcast of The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells. It is intended to draw parallels to the the radio broadcast event and the 9/11 Trade Center attacks. It is a terrorist and war poem.
This is also an acrostic...
Americans favorite shows all tuned,
Network special news report.
Original programs now resumed,
Tensions build outside New York.
Helicopters fill the sky lined night,
Emergency broadcast systems sound,
Rising chaos, no threats in sight,
All towns quiet, Lady Liberty's down.
Live feeds indicate aerial assault.
Initial reports of alien attacks.
Elastic city's news at fault,
Neighbors crazed, lack of facts.
All seems hopeless, so unreal.
Television programs all seem norm.
Terrible bursts of glass and steel?
Another nightmare terrorist storm?
Choreographed to rational folks,
Kept confused through theatrical hoax.
