Matter and Gravity

by East Poetry   May 16, 2009


As I look into the star lit sky
and ponder Infinity.
Theory's brush my wondering mind
with concepts that could be.

Could Satan be, just gravity?
And simply nothing more!
Temptation gained by owning flesh.
And why our feet stick to the floor.

Does the matter that matters of the flesh,
offer infinite joy but physical death?
As matter is bound to decay.
Yet Satan, blind to the simple fact,
That thought won't fade away.

For "Adam" fell that men might be,
And fell because of Satins Plea.
A coincidence... ironically,
That... "Atoms" fall from Gravity

Isn't it obvious, and don't you see,
That without this thing we call a body,
where temptations are no surprise.
Our thoughts held in matter can register love,
and ways to conceptualize.

So rather us left in a void of just thought,
and no one to call your son
Unless we're encased by this black hole of life
can infinite suns(sons) be won.

So, in gravity's hold, on earth I trod.
In the vastness of sand, snow, sleet and sod.
And as you may think my thoughts are odd,
go ahead and ask, and I will nod,
I do believe it's a gift from God.

For in His vast power, that He would see,
that satan has such a small hold on me
A hold that's just a part of my matter,
Yet allows me to understand joy.
for in this first life my thought was created
the day I became a boy.

Sometimes I am... just so astounded!
That Gods greatest rival, and most difficult challenge
He turned into a great gift for me.
something so simple as being put in

...to matter AND gravity

    Randy, I love how you put your deep thoughts into a poem. I too have thought about this subject, but more in negitive and postive energy balancing out to create form. As you know, Moana is my favorite animation movie and that is why I chose my nick name to be Oceanloveisland. It relates to Positive-balance-Negitive. or as you put it Good-Matter-Evil and to be reduntant...Dad-Child-Mother.

    I love you brother.

    Another fantastically clever poem by you, Randy.
    Technically, your poem presents a great insight into this world that we find ourselves in.
    Very clever writing indeed here, as is all your poems,
    Brilliant write!

    Wow, I'm speechless. That was absolutely phenomenal. That's the kind of poem I wish I could write my friend. Not just the subject matter, but the style with which you did it was near perfection. Your internalization of ideas and the seamless flow from idea to idea...that was just awesome. 5/5, without a doubt.

    p.s. I really like the tone and idea of this poem

    I like the fact that your poems take some effort and their not just scribbled down garbage like a lot of stuff I see on this site. My poems take time and effort and when you read them you can tell right away much like your work. I laugh how people get 5/5 on 4 line poems that take 3 seconds to write and are so easy a child could rival them. Anyways great work again these poems make you think and wonder whats really beyond all we see everyday. Its hard to imagine nothing, but at times even harder to imagine so much more. Great job 5/5

    I will have to agree with Mr Rhee on the fact that the POEM as a whole was amazing. I guess you made a couple of changes, but they were good ones. As reading, I became even more and more intrigued. I think that the structure was on point; but the flow could use just a tad bit work. But overall, wonderfull job.
    5/5
