Human

"HUMAN" WE are stardust CHNOPS 6 essential building blocks Carbon Hydrogen Nitrogen Oxygen Phosphorus Sulphur somewhere Cobalt and Gold On the stockmarket we could be worth $46 million each and sold for what our body contains Bone Marrow Heart Lungs Kidneys Brain Eyes and DNA... and then some literature relays; 53% water, salt tears oceans’ memory ancient and old 4.5 billion years with an error range of 50 million years or so, we’re told - Chemical elements different atom types created during a Supernova explosion a brilliant point of light the death of a star that has reached the end of it’s life the DEATH of a star created from a point of LIGHT distributes and gives BIRTH to life. A Supernova burns only for a short period of time life and death death and life Electric particles Souls of Light from a Universal womb rushing through a molecular wormhole to commence all over again in another body of solid matter covering electric particles - bodies that are shells containing beings of light life and death death and life ashes to ashes dust to Stardust We are human LIGHT IS LIFE (Lovejoy-Burton/2018 Jan)

I like your writings not only because they are good but also becauseou i believe whatever you writes , you write with research and you write about truth. I like the truth coming out of your mouth. The one who is looking for truth will always find it . It is my belief. I have found so many truths so far. Thanks

Beautifully placed. Through analysis of the psych not research, one finds truth. Thank you Imtiaz.

Just read a book on astrophysics, reminds me of this poem, interesting detail, the Creator of the universe and earth used the same materials, the word human comes from Latin or Greek humus literally earth, soil dirt. As you clearly showed we are composed of elements from the soil, which appears to have come from the universe, no wonder we need minerals from the soil to maintain our health. Interestingly Genesis mentions God created humans from the dust/dirt! Enjoyed this immensely!

very interesting appraisal John. I have inserted the article I read which inspired me to write this poem. It's embedded in the poem. Thank you for your indepth response. Very interesting food for thought.

Image of God, not in a physical sense, but in a spiritual sense, we can reflect his qualities of love justice wisdom and power, we have an innate need for spirituality, that's what sets us apart from the animals, in that sense we are in God's image.

It makes you wonder about a lot of things. If we were made in the image of man, then who is that "man" really? Obviously that "man" had some investment in the science/biology of it all .... it's a can of worms, but a very interesting can of worms. Then to read the article that breaks the cost of each part of our body down and what the worth of it all would be ... when in fact at the end, it all disintegrates back into dust. Thanks John for taking the time to read.

Thanks Muhammad. I think the whole concept of how we came into being (both scientific/biological and religious) is fascinating. When I started doing the research on this one, it became consuming.

Nice to see your poems receiving a lot more comments... Fully desereved as your poetry is always thought provoking.. Interesting thoughts from yourself on this subject, to me what makes us human is our compassion and for some, empathy towards others...

Thanks Silent. Compassion and empathy + Love, very true. In my mind that comes via LIGHT.

could it be we are only here to supply plants with carbon dioxide and our electric minds have convinced us we are more important than we really are or could it be nature created us from all the elements to be her mirror...mirror on the wall

I take it as the truth, between birth and death all things pass into memories

We are all on different journey's Frederic, with different opinions and stories. However, we all arrive the same way and exit to the same place. Take that as you will.

Wow, exactly, Humans', Understanding, Meanful, Aware, Not So! If only, happiness, it is there, along with all that's needed for a happy human life. Whoa, your words inspired mine, the elements of human life exposed. I get carried away at times, especially when I read poetry with such depth. Oh yes 'LIGHT IS LIFE', thanks for sharing and the privilege of reading! Write on, best forever wishes... Mick

With the way science, genetics, reproduction and transhumanism is moving ahead, people may very well at some point in the near future, not be able to tell the difference between woman and man. I hope not though. That would take all the fun and drama out of life.
