Realm of Peculiarity

This is my view on existence

Realm of Peculiarity

Ladies and gentlemen, we are gathered here today

To lament the loss of the gorgeous gift god gave

That let us go beyond the stars and galaxies light years away

The positrons and neutrons, to a time way before the big bang

We have left the land of creativity to greet a world of hyperboles

No longer do fairies sing the silver stars above to sleep

Well it's about time we made a remedy to cure this sick society

So hold your hands high if you believe in things you've never seen

I think I've been dead since the day I was never born

And that Wall Street is filled with condors and dinosaurs

Whether I'm wrong or right, I'm not at all sure

But I live by the wise words of those who came before

If everything is of the universe but the impossible is not of the universe

Then everything isn't everything, tell me how that works

No, I'm not prophetic nor am I entirely scientific

I believe in both god and the laws of quantum physics

I just see a giant puzzle and I try my best to solve it

But it's hard to put pieces together when you've only just started

Perhaps mere chance is the only reason for our existence

Or maybe we're all thoughts in a multiverse like conscience

We may never know as long as we swim through this black ocean

Or perhaps we'll find answers residing in different dimensions

This is the realm of peculiarity, anarchy and harmony

Where everything is hidden behind a curtain of mystery

From string theory to singularities, branes to dark energy

There are many things that exist outside of our visibility

So before you go to sleep, let this question echo in your head

Is there a monster underneath your bed?

Author's Note

I thought I'd try something different than what I normally write. Sorry if it's absolute rubbish!

I think like this a lot, I believe in god and I believe in the astrophysics
The last question really made me laugh xD I mean from being dead serious to
''Is there a monster underneath your bed?
I like this kind of writing, it has up and downs
Beautiful piece of writing Dan

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for reviewing. I was thinking of the multiverse theory and parallel universes when i wrote that last line. There could be a whole other univeres with monsters right under our bed and we wouldnt know it because it exists in a different dimension :)

[Lizardo]

that would be so cool, By string theory (according to what I read) sayis that the 10 dimention is where is the endless posibilities of universes

[Amber Lily]

Very interesting to believe in both god and science! I've honestly never met anyone like that, it's either one or the other.
When makes this poem special is that it portrays your opinion on a matter and is displayed as art. That I think is the best thing about it :)

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for the review! I dont really understand why people dont believe in both: who says that god himself isnt a scientist?

[Amber Lily]

A very interesting idea! From my understanding some people prefer science because it poses physical truth, where as god seems less tangible. I'm honestly more on the science side of things, but I keep my mind open because I know things constantly change.
I very much like your ideals :)

[DoormanDan]

I prefer both sides equally, but i find the science part to be more exciting :)

[Amber Lily]

It's always nice to be able to say your beliefs on this subject to someone that believes differently and have it not turn into a heated conversation. I think accepting other people for who they are is more important than fighting about who is right. Thank you for that :)

[DoormanDan]

No problem! :)

Iontach! I loved the lines "If everything is of the universe but the impossible is not of the universe/Then everything isn't everything, tell me how that works" and "There are many things that exist outside of our visibility". Really makes you think. This reminded me of a class I just took where we were trying to single out the meaning of life; ever since that I've been fascinated with the question that no one can answer. I wish I'd been able to read this a few months ago!

[DoormanDan]

Thank for reading this! I wish I had been a part of that class, because it's fun to think about questions nobody can answer! I almost gave myself a giant headache just trying to write this poem in all honesty! lol

[A Scribbler Named Bek]

It's a struggle...Thanks for subjecting yourself to that kind of pain so that our lives can be enriched. You're a saint :P

[DoormanDan]

Thanks for the compliment!

[A Scribbler Named Bek]

Google just informed me that I don't have the authority to canonize you - therefore I'm going to have to come up with my own version of sainthood. I'll get back to you on this.

[DoormanDan]

lol, alright

[Cool Girl]

This is rubbish! I'm kidding:) I just really wanted to try typing that :P
I really like this and it is absolutely different from what you normally write:)

5 cupcakes for this one;)

Your friend,

C.G.

P.S.

Don't get sick :P

[DoormanDan]

Yay, more cupcakes :). I really appreciate the positive feedback CG, thank you oh so much! :)

[Cool Girl]

You are so very welcome, Dan:)

[Hutch]

Outstanding DoormanDan! i love the Condors and Dinosaurs and God and Quantum Physics. incredibly thought provoking! Keep up the great writing!

[DoormanDan]

Thank you so much for the kind review hutch!

[Hutch]

keep on truck'n dude

[Stephanie K.]

I am completely stunned. I'm not lying when I say this, so don't cut yourself short, this is one of the best thought provoking pieces I have ever read. These are all thoughts I've had and its absolutely crazy that someone else has as well. "I think I've been dead sense the day I was never born", was an idea I have pondered and this line is when I realized just how good this piece would be. Sorry for such a long review I'm just in awe with what I've read. Once again, superb job.

[DoormanDan]

Thanks Stephanie, I'm glad you liked it! It's funny how different minds can have the same thoughts at times, isn't it? I almost lost my sanity trying to write this piece.

[Stephanie K.]

Definitely and I can see why!
