Atoms are Forever
Atoms...
the silent laborers
of our humble, yet
precarious beginnings
In uproarious union,
committed to lend
unsolicited breath to
humanity
Yes, we, the undeservingly
loved offsprings of Nature,
of God, of Nature...
Yes, we, the everso
undeservingly loved
progeny of the God
of Nature
Drastically, gradually
evolved into creators
devolved into civilized cretins,
engineering destinies
destructing design
denying data
We,
of the specious
propensity to absolve
to vindicate.
to obfuscate the story
of our eternal sin
Ever seeking to hide
shame within the
dank dark depths of nothingness,
pretending it’s all escape
from the eternal wages
of our eternal sin
Ever
denying pain
denying aim
denying meaning
Hiding shame in death
Atoms don’t lie
don’t front
will carry on
transmuting in entropy
manifesting in enthalpy
transporting us and our
lowlier siblings
from
one state to the next
herenow to hereafter
for if life
bears no meaning,
Atoms labor in perilous vain
As
atoms are,
So are we forevermore.
