An age old riddle...
What happens when an unstoppable force collides with an immovable object?
What happens when two unstoppable forces collide?

Two glass spheres filled with infinite possibility
The inanimate claiming the ultimate responsibility
Comprehend beginning and end, impossibility
Strengthened by each others secret fragility

An impossible runway, eons stretched across time
A concept stained into reality, yet not quite designed
Defined parameters of physics teeter on the tracks
A million little details, only two discernible facts:
Two tracks, two objects set on a course to collide
The only spectacle in light years; only things to reside
A void unlike any other, nothing witnessed by life
A constant state of night and yet still stricken with light
The orbs hold such mystic powers, quite a force to behold
Ancient powers untold, unknown events set to unfold
Rolled at indescribable speeds and through ridiculous lengths
Alone terminal in velocity; monolithic in strength

Two glass spheres filled with infinite possibility
The inanimate claiming the ultimate responsibility
Comprehend beginning and end, impossibility
Strengthened by each others secret fragility

A manufactured static stature but at no physical cost
And an enigma in the concept of the days they should cross
Two spheres falling at an increasing state of velocity
Collision course imminent and assuring atrocity
Curiosity got the better of the aftermath of explosions
A sandbox of contents left to the task of erosion
Unstoppable was never a trait that was set into the stone
Now as it washes away the entire idea seems unknown
A concept as it was; created by sentient beings
Trying to rule it all by projecting souls onto machines
Two enormous titans ride the rails of the massive force
Destiny and fate shove them together as a new source
Energy wasn't always a convention, but more of an invention
By nothing that can be grasped by human minds if mentioned
It was the riddle and enigma that planted thoughts in our heads
When they shattered and the clues slowly started to spread

Two glass spheres filled with infinite possibility
The inanimate claiming the ultimate responsibility
Comprehend beginning and end, impossibility
Strengthened by each others secret fragility

An immovable object, an unstoppable force
Pit two against each other and you find the source
Of course the regions of time don't expand that far
Shattered glass realities; the fabric of the bizarre
