Literature Text

Once, my mind had wandered,
Transgressing laws of rationality.
Yet what was the point?
I didn't need to think of you so hard.
The rule book was wide open.

Infinity had seemed to feel palatial at the time.
Impudence to reality had felt godly,
But I'm obviously only human.
It's not our place to feel or know.

Reproduce.
Die.
Purpose?
There.

The ebb of ignorance, hypothetical possibility.
Naive to the truth that you already know?
Go ahead and be blasphemous, there is no point.
Reproduce and die, do you need a reproof?
Still need to become docile to the fact?
Because that's all you need to know...
Those are the rules, thems the breaks.

Spirituality?
It drives us away.
Sexuality?
It keeps us coming back.

Infinity was something we wanted to expound.
A gratuitous life was what we loved.
Yet we're only human, (that's all...)
It's our place to pay in babies. (...we know.)
(We need to keep going.
Not keep guessing.)

Reproduce?
Die?
PURPOSE!
There?

The ebb of intellegence, increased apprehension.
Still don't know what you already know?
Be mean, say your invectives, no "god" gives a care.
Reproduce and die, here's your reproof.
You must become docile to the fact...
There's no metaphor for the abstract.
You just have to know the rules.

Spirituality?
It gets us thinking.
Sexuality?
It blows our minds...
Yet keeps us coming back.
Does it make us feel good?
We just got lucky.

Science sure is scroring all the points.
God just needs the slam dunk.
He's gonna have to make the recoil soon.
We shouldn't have placed our bets.

Purpose...
You win,
When you score.
This is a poem that I wrote for an English assignment, and I really wanted to be provacative and profound with it. This basically deals with how, scientifically, as Ms. Austin has wonderfully put it, that we're to just reproduce and die. Spiritually? Well that's the game being played in this poem. God vs. Science! Who will win? Mmmm, such a tough call, ain't it? REF?!

Hope y'all enjoy it. Happy thinkin' :D.

Damn...that's really great writing. Very thoughtful and very beautiful. You are very talented with words. Great work. By the way, I got a chance to listen SYL's "Shitstorm" off "Alien" on their website a while ago-OMFG-heavy and insane as hell!
