Audio poetry

I found a site called Fanstory.com where people can post their poetry or prose work, you can also load audiofiles of your writings being read. There are plenty of interesting authors on the site, I go by the nick of Tilli Baywillow, should anyone want to have a look. I'm adding here the audio file of the first poem I posted, it's called Dawn on the running bus.

Notes on Philosophy

Existence

For a while now I have been convinced that Darwin's theory is too simplistic to be true, although obviously the alternative is not to be considered the tale of Adam and Eve. Yesterday though, this idea broke into my mind which could be the only evidence in favour of Darwinism according to my line of thought. I was listening to yet another piece of tragic news (not personal)and suddenly I felt as if life was revealing it's true nature in front of my very eyes. There it was, life has no logical sense whatsoever, no intrinsic meaning, we are brought to believe it has by a cheap trick between brain and DNA so that the species can carry on existing (and this is the evidence in favour of Darwin who wants us deriving from "monkeys" thus just slightly more evolved animals, with all their basic instincts). But if you give your attention to reason, suppressing the endorphins that make you see all things beautiful around you, if you see the illusion beyond the beauty of nature and start thinking of life itself, you'll see we live an average of 80 years (to stay on the optimistic side), nothing compared to eternity and what do we get for it? Since we are born we have to face the knowledge that it will all end up inexorably in death, we have to face illness, accidents, bordum, most of us are forced to employ great part of their time in activities they do not particularly enjoy just to survive (and here I'm just talking of the "rich" world, without considering those that have even the misfortune to be born in the third world, dying of starvation, illness and slavery), for what say I, to be enchanted by the beauty of a tree or of the clouds? To suffer all this aggravation for 5 minutes of peace a day? That's the cheap trick. To be born and die with the only purpose of becoming fertilizer, I'm not so sure anymore that it is us exploiting the earth and not the contrary, at the end of the day maybe we are just an error of nature, an altered animal, maybe animals are contented to live their lives this way, I don't think an intelligent being should be. Maybe when mankind will come to a higher level of evolution, when it will start listening to reason it will stop reproducing and head toward extinction, unless a bigger knowledge to be attained should manifest itself, we should overcome nature by becoming immortal, grant everybody a fulfilling standard of life and expand our horizons exploring the Universe, but then when that's done we're back to the beginning again.
Awaiting for my brain to produce enough endorphins to make me see everything positively again, I will be glad for anyone to give me any logical reason to believe that all the above is not applicable.

J Fru's Music and a link to supernatural

I noticed when I listen to John Frusciante's music outside something strange happens to me. It's as if everything external to me was a sort of illusion, a hologram, difficult to explain, as if the only true thing was me and the sky, the water, the elements, as if I was part of the elements, I could reach them and touch them be immense and eternal as they are and nothing scares me then, nothing is important anymore...
So I've come to think his music is indeed a gateway to what's superhuman, to eternity, to dimensions and creatures we cannot rationally conceive, to the whole of the universe and truth.
