THIS FREDDIE

SHOWS ME SOMETHING

TERRIBLY SWEET

THIS IS FREDDIE MERCURY

All those who love you are beautiful;

they overflow with your presence

so that they can do nothing but good.

There is infinite space in your garden;

all men, all women are welcome here; all they need to do is enter.

THE ODES OF SOLOMON

ODE 11

ONCE I READ A POEM ABOUT SOMEONE.

A GRAVE VERY OLD HAD BEEN DISCOVERED BY ACCIDENT IN A FAR AWAY PLACE WHICH HAD SEEN ANCIENT CIVILIZATIONS. THE BODY  BURIED THERE WAS OF A MAN . THERE WERE NO GOLDEN OBJECTS, NO JEWELS OR OTHER TOKENS OF WEALTH, ESTEEM, OR PRIVILEGE BURIED WITH HIM.

THIS INDIVIDUAL HAD BEEN COVERED WITH SOME THING WHICH WAS NOT IMMEDIATELY IDENTIFIED.  WHEN SCIENTISTS STUDIED THIS CURIOUS SUBSTANCE THEY DISCOVERED AN AMAZING THING. THE MAN HAD BEEN BURIED WITH A BLANKET COVERING HIS BODY. THIS BLANKET WAS COMPOSED ENTIRELY OF POLLEN. THE POLLEN WAS FROM ONE TYPE OF FLOWER. THE ASTONISHING NUMBER OF HOURS IT MUST HAVE TAKEN TO GATHER THIS POLLEN FROM THE STEPPES WHERE HE WAS BURIED WAS QUITE MIND BLOWING TO THOSE THINKING ABOUT IT. 

THE DEPTH OF LOVE AFFECTION AND DEVOTION FELT BY THOSE WHO BURIED THIS PERSON MUST HAVE BEEN OTHERWORLDLY.
