Why Infinity Is Not

By: Charles Giuliano - Sep 13, 2015

Other People

Billions of years ago
Who’s counting
Give or take
It happened
Relatively recently
Remarkably narrow window
Mankind evolved
Ever more discoveries
Ape like ancestors
With human attributes
Family tree
Millennia ago
God showed up
Global myths
People of the Book
Our creation
Not His
Need to explain
Find comfort and meaning
Rationality and compassion
The vast and unknown
Stars beyond measure
Ever expanding space
Initial energy
The Big Bang
Now reduced by
Half yet still bright
Some stars we see
Already dead
Gone blank
Shifted not even
Where they appear to be
Space and time not infinite
Actually terminal
When all goes dark
Suns extinguished
Lights out for the universe
Galaxy after galaxy
Shutting down
Something for scientists
Not priests
To calculate
Long after we think
Or care
That He
Whoever that is
Died for our sins
