The Universal Man


A minuscule point condensed with matter and energy A man and woman flattered with romantic energy Blown into an anarchic realm of physics Born into an archaic race through physics Chaos controlling every facet of the cosmos Chaos in her life leads to consumption of cosmos Drawn to other quarks through divine intervention Drawn to a woman's womb despite scientific intervention Each element formed is a miracle Each ultrasound viewed is a miracle Forming a universe of gas and dust Forming a life of decay and dust Growing into stars that can create worlds Growing into beings that can change worlds Housing bodies of matter with no distinct purpose Housing manifesting minds no distinctive purpose Internal combustion fueling its fires Internal turmoil creating false desires Juxtaposing its brilliant luminesce with nothing Juxtaposing his great mind with material nothings Knowing its light creates life Knowing his strife creates life Loses its iron core, its cycle is a chore Loses his innocence, his life is a chore Momentous change! Its essence bursts! Momentously strange! His love bursts! Now, all that it is, is components for evolution Now, all that he is, is a chance for evolution Once again, particles form through divine intervention Once again, life forms despite scientific intervention Perhaps this time its randomness leads to change Perhaps this time its offspring can cause change Quotients of its empirical data concludes no reason Quotients of the causes of us leads to no reason Ricocheting atoms from a cosmic nuke Ricocheting lives from a romantic nuke Sharing its star dust with future generations Sharing his genetic code with future generations Trained in its inception to grow and explode Trained since inception to love and explode Understanding such a process is beyond need or reach Understanding such passions is within needs and reach Veins of time weave through space Veins of time make us want more space Which leads to matter gulping black holes Which causes greed filling our souls’ black holes Xenoliths of past iterations engulfed without hesitation Xenoliths of now used for profit with no hesitation You are of stars You are of gravity, and like stars You will collapse upon yourself Zenith will be reached, galactic and human Zion is only a moment, galactic and human
