Flawed Theory

Believing the Universe was built 
 from an explosion, and without plan,
 a thousand times more foolish 
 than believing you could build
 a library of fine literature
 by exploding words into the air.


Won a 2nd place

There may have been a "big bang," Joyce, but there was DEFINITELY a plan by our Creator. Love the analogy of the library blowing up words into the air. After reading your other poems for the "reader's thoughts" contest, I am laughing at this comparison. So true! And people don't seem to realize we don't always get the meaning of what they're saying -- if they ARE saying something. Call me message driven, but this is a great commentary and I agree. Love, Carolyn
