William Sidis

His major theory,
Simplified for you,
Is that life reverses the Law of Thermodynamics.

It seems to be true,
As looking over his work
It was dazzling to me
How Non Compos Mentis it was.
How unconnected; 
Also, how illogical.

But, then I thought about
Why one would say
Life, in the universe,
Reverses the Laws of Thermodynamics.

I thought of Evolution...
How, life is one of the only
Things in existence
Where we observe complexity and growth
Over time, and not degradation. 
A white floret, with five petals and a honeysuckle scent
Turns into the awesome folds and delicious perfume
Of a magenta rose.

I then thought of Greensaling,
How Nigeria uses FMNR
To make lush what was once deserts.
I remember the Texan who
Managed to replenish ground water
Just by planting grass
And removing Cedars.

It became clear to me,
That what Sidis was trying to say,
Although going around in circles
And hypothesizing on outlandish physics,
Was the simple observation that Life
Replenishes, and reverses the decay
We'd normally associate with the Second Law of Thermodynamics.

I realized it was a romantic thought
Not based entirely on speculation...
And the experimentation 
Is being done all over the world right now
Where entire deserts are being reforested
And entire barren landscapes are now becoming lush again.

What I then realized,
Was that if this were true, 
It would prove the existence of God.
As, if life does indeed 
Transform what is dead, and make it alive,
Then there must be a force
Greater than science
And our decaying universe.
