If a tree falls in a forest and no one sees it
In time, one walks in the forest and sees no fallen tree
The age old question, of old cliché
Then remains, did the tree really fall
If skeletons of dinosaurs were never found
Did they then have ever existed
"Killed" by nature's extent
What of others not found yet
While man is said to be an evolution of monkeys
Who stopped the factory of change
Left monkeys in parallel worlds
With humans in coexistence
Albert Einstein once asked
If no one watches the moon
Is it really there
If this is the question in "surrealism" then ask
If it is known today that atoms
Are not the smallest indivisible particles
Yet with electrons, neutrons and protons
Then with protons comes
K mesons, omega baryons
Pi mesons, electrons, neutrons
Just call them the particle zoo
In life, why are we still thought
That atoms are the smallest particles of matter
And examiners, mark us right on "descent" lies
What is reality
Is it what we see,
On assumption calculated on choice
Of what our minds do show us in projections
What of the universe and
What happens to the gift of thought, soul
When I am no longer here
What happens to brilliant minds
What of ghost, levitation, illusion on magic
What is quantum mechanics
What is craziness
What secrets am I not being told
What does the other half of my minds holds
With fingers crossed behind on truth be told
I agree to live
On the assumption of assumptions
Made to normalise “reality”
My existence, my compromises to conform
To obey the laws of the land
But don’t ask me what is reality
I will just go off on one
I do not seek to educate, I am only but a student in the school of life, I only hope to hear you express your thoughts, from your own thinking and analysis, so we can learn from each other.

Great questions. I guess reality is what the contemporary consensus says it is.
ReplyDeleteOur realities are question-filled, are they not? Here's my 3WW bit for the week: http://www.kimnelsonwrites.com/2011/01/19/in-my-tucson/
