Inspired By Ecstasy

With downcast heart many times
I thought now
It's all or nothing
why compromise, 
why complicate the physics, and then I think, 
I don't have to live like this anymore. 
No?
So remind me then, Is this evolution....
I feel so depressingly doomed,
so enamored with the past tense.
I'm not here to overcome all the difficulties in your life.
Come on have a drink you sad drunk tree, before I go crazy.

Aah, if it were indeed possible to solve all painful questions in such a vein of 'ecstasy', indeed every one would opt for going crazy. But physics, chemistry and now molecular biology goad us into innumerable amazing questions. Most will be answered. Definitely. But we will not be there to enjoy the ecstasy. ... A nice poem.
