Is something unphysical
in charge of this world
That lines every moment,
unseen and unfurled
Scientists say NO,
breathing fire as they shout
What is it then
that scatters atoms about
Darwin had his theory,
well accepted—unproved
That things change themselves
on condition and mood
But somewhere deep
in the backs of our minds
A notion lay hidden,
firmly placed to remind
This proof we so revel in,
whose truth we revere
Has constantly changed
since the dinosaurs were here
So try to stay open
as new data evolves
Remembering the axioms
it now must resolve
And tune in to something,
not burdened by facts
The rock of all ages
—still blindly intact
(Radnor Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
Symbios
Can you talk about good
without acknowledging evil
Could they ever
exist on their own
Can you go somewhere
without leaving someplace else
The answer
fairly shown
Simplistic by nature,
linguistic in form
Contrast
rules the day
Allowing for one
by embracing the other
Truth to each
conveys
(Wayne Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
Cash Or Check
Given facts
and reasoned truth…
Can\'t marry each other
without changing their suit
Some things our intellect
tries to explain
Can you turn off a light
that turns back on again
The reasoning sands
and factual concrete
From thin ice to thick,
what’s now indiscreet
Decisions and choices
are still made the same
But to rent or to own
—real estate of this game
(St. David’s Pennsylvania: October, 2020)
