Poem Artwork

People of modern cosmological theories

Always try to reach extremity:

Some hold that at first there was

Not anything--this is the utmost point

To which nothing can be added indeed.

Some hold that there was Big Bang,

But without any recognition of it

On the part of the cosmic consciousness.

Some hold that there was such recognition,

But there had not begun to be any sort

Of expression of different opinions. . .

 

The knowledge of all three sorts

Of modern inference in their research

Is nearly perfect and therefore

The scholars practise it further, zealously.

They like their own knowledge so long

As it is different from that of others.

They love it and wish to make it known

All over the other countries. However,

As it can't be made clear, though they try

To make it so, they end with obscure talks

About difficulties in their course

Of proving their conceptual doctrines.

 

But when they all have retired

The great problems stop to arise--

The world comes to be at peace

And there will be no big deals.

Till they have not disappeared,

The problems won't cease to appear.

The more right that is attached

To the views of the scientists

And the governmental structures,

The more advantage will accrue

To such men as the world's proprietors.

 

And their descendants, what else,

With all the threads and ties of their fathers

At intricate designs and sophisticated schemes,

Yet to the end of life they are doomed

To accomplish nothing significantly valued,

Continuing the line in hands of those

Who have all along observed, researched

And rectified the evolution of mankind.

Science laws are hard to follow at times and yes, you are right...too extreme!



Always,

Science is blind-sided, adheres to the facts, physical facts that is, and takes no account of "the other side of reality", namely the intangible, non-physical, spiritual and yes metaphysical. Science is great, so far as it goes, but ends up as you says in "obscure talks", they cannot articulate what the facts mean, they just sit there like "dead matter", no inspiration and no light. That's the real problem nowadays. No inspiration. . . no light. John

Science is esoteric, sometimes very boring, and obscure. But that information can become quite exciting by the use of literary technique reducing the complex of the to the essence. Every so often, a spokesperson will come forth and clarify and expand on a particular theory or discovery in a way that is understood by almost all.

At least, that's what I attempted to learn from your poem.

Darwin's Blind Spot by Frank Ryan

The symbiotic pattern of evolution is everywhere and allows us a very different and fascinating window into the way symbiotic viruses work, since all viruses are symbiotic, including those involved in our human reproduction.

Virus X by Frank Ryan

Where do viruses, such as Ebola and HIV, come from and why they are so aggressive? This book changed tenets of evolutionary virology, developing the concepts of aggressive symbiosis and plague culling, which explain much of the horror of plague virus

Virolution by Frank Ryan

Our human genome is full of viruses similar to HIV-1. These have played an important role in human evolution and still play an important role in human embryology and day-to-day chemistry. Just how important are they to our evolution past and future?
