The Determined
x must always
equal the opposite
of b plus or minus
the square root of b squared
minus 4ac
resulting in a perfect arch.
every time
we can predict
most outcomes
and boast about doing so
but still
where is the excitement in that?
the adventure?
does it exist
if our lives are predetermined?
is there a point
in trying to discover
what we already know?
the apple must always fall
and hit the ground
just as people
must all go.
where is the magic
the supernatural
the significance,
in the word
controlled by
formulas
and laws.
no thanks math
and modern day and age
I'd rather live
questioning
how the rock i throw will arch
than already know.
and so long evolution
i prefer
the bible:
it assures me
that theres something more
This poem was inspired by a line from the song Mugen no Kanata by my favourite band ViViD. (they are aweeeesommmeee) "I wonder what kind of meaning existed on that predetermined formula.)
This poem isnt all that good....which is why its kindof the afterthough of this post.
i agree 100%
ReplyDeleteuh what is it that you agree with? that we should continue posting over the summer, or do you agree with my poem? or do you agree that my poem is bad? or all three things maybe?
ReplyDeletethe first one
ReplyDeleteOhkay!
ReplyDeleteBy the way Kiki, you do know that in the bible it says that God knows what your going to do before you do it, right? Because that kind of contradicts what your saying, however, I have pondered over this idea before and i think what the bible means is not that we are preprogramed machines left with no adventure and wonder at all but that He knows his creations so well that he can predetermine their actions. But aside from my philosphical thinking I understood what you meant when you wrote, "i prefer the bible: it assures me that theres something more," and i find this poem interesting.
ReplyDeleteoh. i wouldnt know. I've never been to church. I've never even SEEN a bible. hahahaa
ReplyDeleteKik, even I have seen a bible. And I'm one of the least religious people I know. But yeah, I haven't been to church either. And the bible we were looking at was just so we could find stuff my sister hid there.
ReplyDeleteBut the "so long evolution...", the last stanza, just finds me odd. I'm not sure why. It's not bad I guess I just don't agree. It's probably just because I think of evolution as a fact really. It's not bad in the poem... I just find it.. Odd...
