For World Poetry Day (March 21st): Here is a poem that the whole world might be able to relate to

SAN MATEO, Calif. - March 14, 2015 - PRLog -- FOR WORLD POETRY DAY (March 21, 2015)...A POEM THAT THE WHOLE WORLD MIGHT BE ABLE TO RELATE TO...A POEM ABOUT THE MYSTERIES OF THE ORIGIN OF THE UNIVERSE...

A POEM CALLED “COSMOLO...GEE”

World Poetry Day is March 21st. “It will be interesting to see the poems that are presented on this day and one of the interesting questions will be: What kind of poem could the whole world relate to?” “It certainly won’t be a poem about politics, says a poet named Robert Barrows of San Mateo, California, and it certainly won’t be a poem about religion.”

So, in honor of World Poetry Day, and some poetry that the whole world might be able to relate to, Barrows has suggested a poem he wrote about the mysteries of the origin of the universe.

The poem is called “Cosmolo...Gee.”

“It is quite possible that every culture in the universe might have a different tale to tell about their version of the origin of the universe, and scientists might debate the origin of the universe until the end of time, says Barrows, and the question about the origin of the universe may forever go unanswered, but at least here is a poem that might get some conversation going” says Barrows.

He also says that the last line of this poem might provoke some interesting controversy among scientists and the clergy as well...but, it is a question that certainly everyone might ponder at least at some point in their lives.

Here is “Cosmolo...Gee.”


"COSMOLO…GEE"

Copyright 2006 by Robert Barrows

The universe began a long time ago.

How and when, we'll never know.

Did it begin with a great big bang?

Will it end in a tiny black hole?

Is it one continuous loop?

Again, we'll never know.

How does matter begin in a world without anything in it?

How does life begin and does it begin the first minute?

Do you think we will ever be able to go back to the beginning of time?

And will we find out the future there, too?

Is there reincarnation and déjà vu?

Is the speed of light the ultimate limit?

Does E=mc² hold true for antimatter, too?

And in the building blocks of the universe

is E=mc² just one plus one equals two?

The answers to these might keep you up at night.

And how do you prove if you're wrong or right?

And imagine our surprise if we can someday go back to the beginning

of time and we hear someone say... Let there be light!
