This is a slam poem written in free verse that describes the history of the universe leading to the creation of humanity.
Boom! An explosion of catastrophe
The expulsion of photon beams
An infinitesimal nugget
Called the universe
Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
Stellar Evolution
Bubble Nucleation
The cosmos expands
Particles created in the vacuum
Spaces exists in the fragment of a second
Everything in an eyeblink
Before, nothing,
A Planck second later, everything
Dark matter envelopes in a halo
Collapses to a core
The Milky Way forms
Andromeda bursts
A microcosm of galaxies
Big and small
Born to the silver screen
Millions and millions of years after, nothing.
Fragmentation of galaxies
Into clusters
Into stars
Into solar systems
From the dusts of stars,
Come planets
Planets like the earth
Our earth
The earth with all its mountains,
Valleys, ridges, waters, forests,
Animals and humans
Homo sapiens.
Forged from the fires of the singularity
The carbon in our bones
The calcium in our teeth
The hydrogen and oxygen in our waters
All from the cosmos
We are but raw materials
From a distant past
The offspring of a greater deity
The small fish in a big pond
It is this fact that makes us
Who we are
From losing a family member to cancer, the suicide of a friend,
The marriage to your sweetheart, your first child,
To the time when your parents cease to exist
An endless cycle of life and death
Are nothing but physical catalysts
To the ongoing evolution
Constantly changing the fabric
Through the warps and curves it presents
It goes up, it goes down
Forming craters and mountains
Going smooth
And going rough
Feeling euphoric
And disheartened
That’s human
The life of the cosmos
