I have always contemplated the purposes of Mother Nature during nights I couldn’t sleep due to her tears and screams escaping the blooming clouds. I cannot grasp how such a series of complex events could be summed up all under a single name and a single purpose, but I have never had much faith in anything extraterrestrial. I don’t mean to be cruel or depressing, but truth is, I have always wanted to understand how anything could have color when it was destined to decay into the gray ground with the unrealized hope of benefiting future generations. Evolution is such an amazing thing, but I believe Mother has made mistakes in the goal towards an everlasting planet, one that could or could not be alone in its livelihood among the ever expanding space of filling emptiness. Simple animalistic characteristics could have been enough for the world to sustain itself, and she could have flourished beyond every imaginable garden, meadow, and dune we dream about, but as we know well, sustaining only satisfies sadness. I think, for the first time in the universes, this unattainable event under a single existing name craved for something more than the “same thing”. Somehow, and in some crippling way, she changed the predictable process of change to create something that would demonize the innocence of this planet. Scientists always electrify the fact that Darwin said natural selection is supposed to allow beneficial characteristics in a species to take precedent over others, but has anyone considered the evolution of self-awareness? I contemplate this question often long into the nights and sometimes until the weary sun cleans the black sky of its worries. I try to ask the monsters under my bed, the insecurities biting at the edges of my head, the anxieties pounding at my torso, and the disorders plaguing my lungs into peril for suggestive phrases and clicks, but I cannot get a straight answer because they themselves are creations of this awareness. I wonder about this evolutionary characteristic, and I wonder if maybe someday the future generations will ever be able to escape the horrific results of this survival technique. I pray that the planet turns in our favor and allows Mother to be happy again. I’m not sure this will ever happen, however, because maybe even the single most powerful existence we will ever be able to prove is real, has its demons too.

Poetic Ponderings Of A Confused Left-Brainer
