If God Rolled The Dice
Stu Harley Mar 2015
in other worlds
maybe it is possible
for
silicon-based
life forms
to evolved
into advance
insect societies
bacterial organisms
reptilian species
and carnivorous
plant life
so alien to our
human intelligence
however
the probability
that the chemistry of
the universe
comes in
different flavors
thus
alien life forms and intelligence
does not have to express itself
in anthropologic and humanoid
life forms
i wonder
if God rolled the dice
for suitable life in a multiverse
of synchronicity and duplicity
levels of existence
Stu Harley Nov 2012
oh the
sweet beauty of
God's light
a spear
that we
hold tight
hurl it with
all of your might
