1. All submissions must be in the form of a poem. Obviously all common forms such as sonnets, limericks, haiku, couplets, etc. are acceptable. However, so are the following: mathematical equations, parables, artworks, music (to be played in the background), and songs.
Reasoning: I've found that, in general, metaphysical discussions between knowledgable people have a tendency to degrade after a short time into yelling matches: You're not right, I am. By forcing people to write in verse, I'm hoping to avoid this slide. Taking the time to express your opinion rhymically has the effect of calming a foul temper. Furthermore, I've found that by forcing an idea to fit into a particular poetic form, the necessary word choices bring out new, previously unseen meanings. As concluded in the book "Theories of Everything" by John D. Barrow: "No non-poetic account of reality can be complete."

2. Submissions should not exceed 22 lines, or 640 x 480 for artistic submissions, or 3 minutes for musical submissions.
Reasoning: This is to enforce concision. Epic accounts should be posted on your own
(or at The Philosopher Stone)

3. Submissions must be original, non-copyrighted works.
Reasoning: I don't want to get in any trouble.

4. No authorship will be assigned to any submission other than in the Authors section of the site, which lists authors alphabetically.
Reasoning: Check your ego at the door. All authorship will be assigned to the group as a whole, making even the meekest of submissions equivalent to the greatest. If at anytime the site becomes profitable, by advertising, publishing, etc., all money obtained will be donated to charity.

5. Submissions deemed hateful, racist, sexist, etc. will be rejected and deleted.
Reasoning: This is obvious for a site dedicated to Truth.

6. Comments on submissions should be placed in the guestbook.
Reasoning: Many times people will simply want to state that a particular passage moved them, this can be done here so as to avoid disturbing the rhythmic flow of the song.

7. Anyone may add their voice to the song. To get automatic updates of additions sent to you, you must join the 'Our Song of Songs' group.
Reasoning: By allowing anyone to post without necessarily joining the group, this will hopefully attract the timid and wary.
