What’s the Greatest Story Ever Told?
Considering how dumb we are
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
We managed to write a pretty good story
probably the best one.
I mean. I mean.
the best story that anyone has
ever heard.
It starts like this.
Once upon a time, there was nothing, and then there was light.
….hold on…..
Once upon a time, there was nothing, and then there was a Big Bang.
…wait a sec…
Once upon a time, there was Chaos.
…no….that’s not…
Once upon a time, there was a big island surrounded by seawater.
Alright, so I don’t actually know
how the story started,
but those up there are
pretty interesting stories too
and they’ve got the right idea
because
once upon a time,
it started.
Don’t you want to hear
parts of it though?
Bits of the greatest story ever?
It’s endless!
Political dramas out the wazoo!
Crafty people doing crafty things.
Like that one part, where this triumvirate
flips a whole Republic to an Empire!
Flips it like a pancake!
Then there’s this lady who
pretty much conquers everything!
Romances, there’s romances too!
Swooning, blushing,
bodice-ripping romances!
Plenty of awkward, stilted,
stuttering declarations of love.
Lots of kissing, tons of weddings!
Star-crossed lover, enemies to friends.
Did you hear about the explorers?
Climbing every peak and mountain,
hiking through swamps, forests, deserts,
diving into lakes and creeks, and oceans!
They went into every nook and cranny!
They went cave-diving, they found monsters
and fossils, and ocean currents!
Some crazy guys went to space!
They found almost everything
and guess what?
There’s more to find!
Then there are so many
So so many chapters of
war.
Battles between everyone
On all sort of terrain
For all sorts of reasons!
The most violent acts
and the tragedy is everywhere.
The worst of the worst,
Giving rise to new horrors.
moaning spirits and crying souls
who just want to go home.
The horror, the tragedy, the angst!
It’s all there.
There’s comfort too.
Soft moments of sighing,
tea on a rainy day, napping,
animals of all kinds. Presents
given and accepted.
Families, tight-knit
and found.
There’s moments of electric
EUREKA!
Discoveries in late nights
And early morning.
Buried under sheets of notes and papers,
Groups working toward a common goal.
A woman with a microscope
in a basement,
on the banks of a smelly river.
Quiet moments of understanding as
the lock holding the secrets of the universe back
begins to tumble open faster and faster.
Adventure on the oceans,
flying high in planes and balloons,
natural wonders
natural disasters.
There’s art here, lots of art.
Art everywhere, made by
Everyone.
It’s all part of the greatest story; because
what story is complete without art?
There’s everything in this story.
Fancy uniforms, high fashion,
Drama and theater and opera!
All there!
Movies and movie stars
Stars and starlet.
Every single one is in this story.
That’s why it’s the greatest.
The BEST story ever told
It’s all there,
its already happened
it is history.
