Physics defines scientific laws
of various actions and reactions.
When combined with algebraic equations,
certain events such as high-speed impact
of two rapidly traveling vehicles
can have a predictable scintific outcome
by interpreting necessary variables
into an equation, such as:
Speed of vehicles, matter, weight,
rate of impact measured by force.

After entering the necessary variables,
you have a scientific explaination (in numbers)
as to how, where, and why the outcome of this collision.


Some say all things can be explained by science...
         ...but what does science say about tragedy...


What does science say about the variables
such as my 21 year old, best friend,
who by laws of physics was ejected
from one of the vehicles and absorbed
impact much stronger then the resistence of his matter?

What does science have to say about the tears
of a heart-broken mother who just lost her son?

What law of physics can explain my friend
who still to this day visits me, alive
as I can remember him, in my dreams?

What equation can explain
the empty space that remains
within my heart for my fallen friend?

Physics: For every action there is an equal re-action;

This is mine.





In loving memory of Robert Arden,
   May you always defy the laws of physics
   with your impecable beauty in essence.

Wow ouch. By posting this you have defied the laws of physics because there are no variables that would formulate the desired level of justice you have just done your lost friend. ~Urban Shipwreck~

I want to sincerely thank you for posting this poem. I had one of my best friends die about a year ago now and I know what that feeling of loss is like. I have never been able to explain the way I feel about it in poetry form quite this well. Thank you.
