Origin

In coherence of the universal clue

The elements served as our dictionary

The vast and the narrow's rendezvous

Where abstraction and the precise momentarily

Shared an equal confounded abode

But soon we entangled ourselves in that maze

Then, nature's stratum began to erode

As our fire burnt soil's face

We suddenly changed our mind's nutrition

To outshine the forces, became our probe

Beauty we turned into perdition (to prove that). - "man is

Greater than a microbe"

We're the voice of thunder and image of lightning

It rove inside us since day one

In past times we tamed the frightening

A heritage leaping, from father to Son

But the Son became imperial

As soon as he mastered gravity

World's resources were immaterial

For his ennobled colony

His urges with chaos reconciled

Throughout land's and ocean's enormous spectrum

The alliance continues until he defeats the fossilized

History, sealed in a petrified museum

But, we can't transform our origin

Atoms stay atoms forever

The senses of Nature will always win

In this earthly endeavour

From quantum theory to rustic haven

The laws of origin control birth

From feeble fool to strong maven

Everyone inherit the earth
