If I were to look at life subjectively, I’d say, “Here we are, living on a sphere made up of solid and fluid stuff that rotates around a very hot core, all in perfect mathematical harmony. And we’ve got a little buddy, the Moon that hangs out with us, helping to stabilize our tilt and giving us those cool light shows during eclipses. Sure, it might have sparked a few superstitions, but you didn’t hear that from me.
So, about us, we’ve got a few other ‘celestial bodies’ in our neighborhood. One thing the spiritual folks got right is that not all planets got the same treatment as Earth. Imagine a Jupiter-sized planet with Earth-like conditions; the people there would be Spartan-level strong, even without any augmentation. The Moon, with its significantly lower mass, has about 1/6th the gravity of Earth. Now picture Jupiter with Earth’s ecosystem and more resources. It’s not just evolution; it’s the natural course for a massive celestial body with immense resources.
But I digress. Some celestial bodies weren’t as ‘lucky’ to sustain life as we do, which is why life as we know it is rare. There are eight major planets orbiting our hot star, the Sun. We’re unique, but we’re not alone. There are around 2 trillion galaxies out there, but they’re not like us. Most of them orbit a dark blob a supermassive black hole. These galaxies come in shapes like spirals or cigars, which shows even the universe gets stressed.
We’re at a point where we’ve discovered quasars supermassive black holes that somehow give off light. Normally, black holes don’t emit light, so this suggests that energy transforms as it evolves. From intergalactic dust forming stars to stars collapsing into black holes, energy keeps moving to the next stage of evolution. So, where are we in this evolutionary period? Are we trying to leave Earth? By the way, time-traveling backwards, essentially observing distant objects with powerful telescopes, is fascinating yet underwhelming. We see things as they were billions of years ago.
With technological advances, what will we invent next to propel civilization forward? Maybe we’ll harness clean energy for space travel or even bend space-time. With supercomputers and advanced simulations, we can test these theories about the universe. But it all depends on the contributions of scientists and enthusiasts alike.
This raise the question: are we the future, or are we the past? Or does it matter?

Replacing my creator
In a world where a percentage of men refusing to grow their young is sickening.
Why would a gardener plant a seed to only see it wither and died?
Sons without fathers strive not to relive the sins of their fathers but some how fall short.
I guess it is true, like father like son.
But I refuse to live in my fathers shadow of irresponsibility and totally disregard for my offspring.
Even though I’m flesh of your flesh and blood of your blood, we are nothing alike

Prisoner of the Mind
You can’t see the blackness of my heart because you don’t possess the lens to my soul.
You fail to see & hear me cry out for help because my unorthodox methods to gain your attention motivates distance.
I wish you were more observant. I wish you could see that these bad choices and these misguided decisions are a plea for help and a yearn for attention.
I dance with anxiety, wrestle with fear, and dodge thoughts of disappearing. 
I’ve fought more battles with my demons than Rome had soldiers.
Within my lonely moments I shed tears of despair hoping that someones sees, but knowing no one will come.
I’ll just ask this of you, the next time you see me can you ask if I’m okay ?
because that question alone shines the light through the looming clouds of darkness.
Within those words I draw upon the will to continue and magnify my determination to pursue true happiness

Love Construction
Her heart is like an ocean that I’m swimming in.
She bonds the pieces of my broken mind with her words of comfort and reshapes my thoughts with her consistency.
She brightens the dark spaces within my mind that I’ve created out of the blunders of my own mistrust.
We all at some point in our lives build walls from resentment and disappointment. We live through shattered dreams, and broken promises.
Ever so often you hear the echoes "I'll always be there", "I'll never leave" or "I always love you" from times long passed.
If the mistakes of the past could be replaced with the promise of a future would you reach out or would you pull away out of fear of the unknown?
I often ponder this question, what am I doing.
If her love has the capability to rejuvenate my dying spirit,
 Would you let go?

Significance & Substance
Other men just want your flesh, but that's too shallow for me.
What I desire goes deeper than a "wam bam thank you ma'am".
If my touch doesn't resonate through your soul, I'm not deep enough.
If the sound of my name doesn't take your breathe away, then my impression wasn't strong enough.
What I'm trying to say is that I'm not only here to please your heart.
I'm here to nurture your essence.
There is no upgrade after a good woman.

Searching...
What’s a garden if it gets neglected? I’ve given to much life to have my petals trampled on. I'd rather stay in my seed in unblossomed than have my grace taken for granted. Unreciprocated emotions is worse than any wound on the flesh. I thought I learned a lesson, but all I learned was a “page” from a old book I keep picking up. Don’t search for substance within another if you haven’t found it within your own soul. A sign of affection isn’t a green light to expose your book of secrets. Guard yourself, keep everything on lock and key. Not everyone is worth putting faith in...because not everyone is worth the thought.

Her Essence
I'm not afraid of a good woman and all that she can bring to a man, but I believe you're afraid of a good man and all he can bring to a good woman. Most believe that women are weaker than men, but if we look beyond the anatomical make up of a woman. We'll see that she is there not as a protector but as a source of sustainment and reinforcement. She reinforces a mans core in times of trials and tribulations. She builds him up when the world is trying to tear him down. She instills confidence in him during his time of confusion, and gives him purpose when he is lost.
