Imagine that you have a cube made of the hardest material in the
universe (tm), so hard that nothing can break it; so heavy that each
pound of this material weighs one hundred thousand pounds!
Now, imagine that you take a rabbit, accelerate it to the speed of
light, then throw it at the cube.
Will the rabbit succeed in breaking up the molecular structure of the
cube? Of course not, because it is made of the hardest material in
the universe (tm).
Even an infinite army of rabbits won't make a single dent in the cube :-)
Titans have forged me
from iron and dust,
devotion and care,
vigour and trust.
Deep in the core
of a hot-burning sun
aeons ago
my life has begun...
Thousands of Kelvins
drifting through space,
turned to a cube,
black, with no face...
***
Living and morphing,
I concluded with pride -
At last, I've evolved,
to live by your side!
My body preserved
what the titans have given,
I kept it for you,
through pain and much grieving.
Armies of rabbits
trained for destruction,
have not made a dent
in my aging construction;
Hard they have tried
Hard as they tried
to injure my face,
my mission goes on,
rabbits - you failed!
Package delivered,
under my crust
everything's yours
including the bits
of iron and dust that sometimes
do not fit, but I'm sure it's
not a bug, it's a feature; the
titans usually know what they
are doing.

Ина!
Да он в эти, как их, сайентологи, подался. Это же за версту видно! Титаны туда, титаны сюда.
Мальчику срочно помощь нужна, а ты издеваешься…

Полный смысл работы сможет уловить только человек, для которого она была написана. По этому добавился mini-introduction, где даются некоторые улики. Для того чтобы понять их, нужно кое-что знать, и скорее всего вам это неизвестно, следовательно используемые символы тоже не понятны.

p.s. Связь с scientology не понятна.

pare-mi-se ca “each pound of this material weighs one hundred thousand pounds” si “Package delivered” sunt referinte la unul si acelasi lucru ;)

Correct; let X be “acelasi lucru".
2 references point to X; X itself contains a reference to another clue in one of its episodes.
One of the other references is a song.

too bad the cube is right in the center of the road and there is no other road to the world behind the cube.
What if the rabbits weren’t trained for destruction ?
Comment from: gr8dude Member
tallman, which of these do you mean?
- they weren’t trained for destruction
- they weren’t trained for destruction

Инна и Миша, я расчитываю на то, что вы находитесь в дружеских отношениях с автором, т.к. в противном случае ваши высказывания можно счесть за агрессию и недальновидность, которая присуща неадлеким людям. Я думала что Галлилей, Ван Гог уже научили чему-то этот мир… но оказывается иногда я просто вижу мир на половину лучше, чем он на самом деле есть (:
As for the poem: sometimes Occam’s Razor is not as helpful as we think it is when expressing feelings, that brought [in their initial form and the simplest one] to the target public could be falsely interpreted [especially when the public is a single person with great trust-in-others-problem]
