An Oomph Dissected
To give a splatter shot
What I suppose
You could call poetry
Poem “I Must Not Want”
A correlating oomph
(In my mind anyway)
(I write this s#!t for me)
To drive it home
It is followed with
Some Iron Maiden lyrics
Which included
“When the world was virgin
Before the coming of men
Just a solar witness
The beginning of the end
From a world of magma
To a cold rock face
The ascent of madness
And a human race”
From
“If Eternity Should Fail”
– Iron Maiden
.
If there were ever to be
A documentary of such
“From a world of magma
To a cold rock face
The ascent of madness
And a human race”
In some kind of
Spiritual I Max theatre
Recorded in time lapse
High speed photography
As the space dust
Coalesced starting with
Microscopic particles
Gathering and clinging
With more joining
From the infinite cosmos
Of “nothingness” till it
Churned and formed
Collided and heated
Into the “World Of Magma”
Upon just below the surface
We are still floating above
On that “Cold Rock Face”
That seemingly would be
Infinitely more plausible then
“The ascent of madness”
That cliché seven day story
“And a human race”
Intended to frighten
Control and manipulate
About 1600 years old
Compared to 4.5 billion
Oops wrong trajectory
Back to the theatre
To watch the ebb and flow of *
“Earthquakes, volcanoes, plate tectonics, continental drift, solar flares, sunspots, magnetic storms, the magnetic reversal of the poles, hundreds of thousands of years of bombardment by comets and asteroids, and meteors, world-wide floods, tidal waves, world-wide fires, erosion, cosmic rays, recurring ice ages”
.
See that perhaps the cliché
Is baseless and no longer relevant
It may or may not be true
However if you were to
Reverse engineer our existence
Methinks you would find it
Couldn’t possibly have happened
The way it has been revised and
Rewritten in those several books
That leaves unanswered, where oh
Where did Caine’s wife come from
Shit, keep getting off track //
Watch the planet continue to form with
The Goldilox principle having the
“Just right” amount of carbon and oxygen
Water, sunlight and atmosphere
For things to grow and breath
Engage while connecting to
The first sprout to appear
Then “die” and decompose
Only to start anew as perhaps
Some algae, fungi or tadpole
Experience immediate transformations
Through the lens of history
Till say when the ability to make fire
Occurred by the first neanderthals
Have the movie slow down
Some more as now things
Really start to accelerate
(“I’m tired of this back-slapping “Isn’t
Humanity neat?” bullshit. We’re a virus
With shoes, okay? That’s all we are.”
– Bill Hicks)
Watch to see if “man’s” nature
Really is beastly and violent in
Order to survive day to day to date
Or if it stemmed from a greed trait
That some are compelled with
The desire to have more than others
So they’ll feel better about themselves
Observe the humanity slaughtering wars
Skirmishes to wonder what really
Is all the fighting about
Also observe the the great feats
Long since unexplained such as
How were the pyramids really built etc
Having the movie close at the point
When devolution started
(No idea, when that was)
Leaving the viewer to ponder
What can be done to
Prevent our extinction
Having seen it all from
A cosmic standpoint
I think one would weep
Every last drop of liquid
From its impermanent
Container evaporating
Into the surrounding ether
Till the saline fragments
Drifted into the atmosphere
To combine with other
Space particles
Coalesce gather and cling………
And do their thing
Again
