Simple Math

I spin thoughts

In direct synchronization

With Earth's rotation

While the axis of my pen 

Stays at 23.4394 degrees

Or roughly 66 and a half

If you measure from the pad

Writing words like snowflakes

That compact into glaciers

leaving valleys in their wakes

As they migrate South across

The latitudinal lines of these pages

Then transforming into

The resonant frequency of reality

When I rock microphones on stages

So If light travels two hundred ninety nine million

seven hundred ninety two thousand

four hundred fifty eight meters every second

And sound only travels three hundred and forty point two nine

Then the difference between

What you see

And what I say is....

Three thousandths of a second

For every meter of distance between us

(plus or minus a little)

Depending on the atmospheric conditions in which I rhyme

Now forget what I just said and concentrate because 

this is the part I really wanted you to keep by your side

We will start with the equation E=mc2 if you don't mind

"E" is for energy

Which equals "m"

Thats for mass

Multiplied by "c"

(the speed of light) squared

Now lets move past...

Because we're done with this equation...

But here comes the math

If "c" stands for constant

And the speed of light is "c"

And only God is constant

Then it should be obvious to you

As it is obvious to me

That God must be light

Which makes a lot of sense

Because at this speed

There is no concept of time

So the only moment then is now

And thats the only moment thats divine

Sooo lets free your mind

From the confines of its prison

And take a look at Humanity

As if it were a prism

Just separating God

Into the many aspects of religion

And though rainbows are beautiful

When looked at as a whole

We tend to just pick our favorite hue

Then argue for control

But I'm trying to break the cycle

With the philosophy of "live and let live"

Therefore I kneel down before the altar

Of Roy G. Biv

Just trying some fun new things to play around with in my writing, this piece kept me out of sleep for a while.

way to much math for me!!! now i feel like stupid or something oh well math isnt my strongest suit

[DBURKE]

lol I just love the technical side of this! I have to say it is absolutely brilliant! I love it in every way read it twice

[Murphy Clamrod]

In an attempt to wrap my head around this, I found myself craving more coffee! Great writing Glenn, please keep it up!

[Emily Quinn]

wow, very unique and different poem. creative way to interperet math/science with religion; two supposed opposites put into relation. great job
