The Grim Primal Game of Life

Death on the Battlefield, from 'The five deaths' (Les cinq Morts), Stefano della Bella (Italian, Florence 1610–1664 Florence), Etching; proof state retouched with graphite and pen and brown ink

The divine Inventor's greatest achievement

was that of devising existence of all that is.

Nature made of existence a competitive game

her invention forever in flux as some prospered

and others declined all competing for existence.

Humankind was gifted with exceptional properties

enabling it to mimic the great Giver of Life to

a degree exercising its creative brain to find

answers to the mysterious state of being and beyond.

The game's goal is survival against the odds that

rivals in the game gain advantage. Leading to the

endless designs of primitive flint knives refined

through the ages to the manipulation of atoms and

nuclear devices, in a search for dominance and a

surety of enablement to destroy great masses of

humanity in a mastery of the game of life and death.
