Poetry – Reality – Are we real or is the universe meaningless?
I like to play around with philosophy. It’s all a dream. We are the stuff of stars.
The way physics is going these days it is impossible to understand which is the stranger – life, dreams or reality?
I’ll take my chance with science. You can verify it. The maths doesn’t lie.
The incredible odds against you being born is enormous. The chances of us surviving are slim.
Life is wonderful. The universe is spectacular. Atoms are pretty good too.
Reality is no more than a partial understanding of things that are not as they appear. If only I had a few more senses I might understand it a bit more.
No – it’s definitely a dream.
REALITY
One and one can be three
As an inch contains infinity
Time unfurls but
What will tomorrow be
When you can’t tell dreams from reality?
Life could have a purpose
Or the universe could be chance
I was formed from a big bang
Of love in a cosmic dance
We’re all made of star dust
Drifting through space
But our dreams
Are made of ideas
Drawn through the curtains
Behind my face
The stars and space
Just a passing eddy in the fabric of time
No significance
No stability
No substance left to rhyme
All of history
And every single breath
Of no more importance
That an amoeba’s death
I’m not sure what makes sense
And Jesus can’t explain it
I live within a Milky Way
Sprayed through some cosmic wit
Someday soon I’ll die
Will the universe still exist?
Does it fall if no-ones there
When a tree topples in the forest?

Maths, Science, Equations, Probability, Nature, God… it’s a miracle regardless.l
Stupendous beyond our understanding!
The “Big Bang” THEORY
takes the cake
Perhaps God’s mistake
when he learned to bake
A piss poor job if you ask me
An insane mankind in a Milky Way.
There’s got to be a better recipe than that
Perhaps just a dash of truth and fact.
Opher, now see what you’ve done!
Inspired Tubularsock to have some fun.
Cheers.
Always something positive that comes out of any bang (and often something negative too!).
Glad it inspired you to have fun!
My guess is that we’re the bacterial contamination!
