Man's Creation
"Meniscus bulging. Bulb expanding.
Tail squeezing, belly swelling.
Transparent, occasional silvery-blue.
A short life span. Gravity will see to it.
Cause and effect.
Its meaninglessness filled with profundity.
Simplicity, elemental and pure.
Inevitably, a separation into free-fall.
Hurtling towards the void.
Form demolished.
A disconnect reaching for nothing.
Oblivion, the endpoint of the everlasting creation, destruction cycle.
Energy conserved and transferred.
The system greatly affected, ripples agitated vibrationally.
No loved ones left behind, no genes passed on, no relationships.
No memories, no guilt.
No regrets, no angst.
No trace.
Just a fleeting conformation of nature’s laws.
What is creation?"

@secondson saidExcluding the title, I see a beautiful piece of prose precisely 100 words in length.

Nice.

@ghost-of-a-duke saidThe title has a hint of the “ambidextrous” about it, don’t you think?

@divegeester saidBecause I can.

@secondson saidThe person who wrote the piece called it "God's Creation" not "Man's Creation" for a reason and certainly does not "think he's smarter than God". I'll pass your peculiar reaction to his writing on to him.

@divegeester saidNo you don't.
I see.
Ghost calls it a "beautiful piece of prose", and hakima said "hurrah", "a great poem", but because it conceals the truth of creation in terms dark with nihilism you offer no trace of rebuttal because of your lack of commitment to the truth.
But if a Christian posting in this forum posts a thread affirming the truth of God's Word you react with criticisms, disdain and contempt.

@secondson saidI also enjoy and appreciate the poem 'They Are All Gone into the World of Light' by Henry Vaughan. Should I admonish and dismiss it because of my atheism? - Here are a verse or two:
No you don't.

'O Father of eternal life, and all
Created glories under thee!
Resume thy spirit from this world of thrall
Into true liberty.
Either disperse these mists, which blot and fill
My perspective still as they pass,
Or else remove me hence unto that hill,
Where I shall need no glass.'

@secondson saidNever mind all that man, did he have a belly button?

@secondson saidI'll pass it on to him because, if I don't, he won't be aware of your comment that you think "he thinks he's smarter than God".
Why? Because you're the mediator between the spiritual and the profanum?

@secondson saidI don’t recognise Christianity in this forum. The so called Christians in this thread are largely religious zealots who lack intellectual courage and stand only to promote their own dogmas and ideologies.
No you don't.

Nevertheless none of this answers my question of why you didn’t respond in the original thread instead of starting a new one.
