How I believe the world is one
Is nothing more than a hopeless thought.
Composed of matter and energy
Likelihood among all, living or not,
Is true rather than plausible.
Mistake not what I think
For I know the logistics behind
Which the said is based upon.
It is of such knowledge
I bestow unto my mind
To dwell
To decipher
To reason
To concur.
Though, in doing so, I stymie the mind to
A point of perplexity.
Caught between science and intuition,
The human factor ignites a debate
Far beyond this mountain and sea.
Question, I may, about my sheer presence.
A symbol of biology’s most complex specimen
Or a product of nothingness which is allowed to
Appoint a gist of significance.
Wondering how this could abide
Should not be the foundation
Of conclusion.
Rather what this purports and contributes
To the purity of subsistence.
Clarity over such opposition
Shall never be.
Not one nor the other can stand
Alone.
For what it is worth
I believe they coexist.
Jimmy, I really like this poem. I think because it sounds so intellectual, but at the same time has this tone of absurdity. Well, maybe not absurdity. No absurdity works because there's so much that seems to be going on. Just this flurry of information. Your use of diction is really good and the syntax always plays a nice role in this poem; sort of smooths things along at a nice pace. Excellent poem! :)
