They paint Philosophy
as stagnant theory
circling itself
on a treadmill of possibility
while graphed orange peels
of Dimensional assumptions
orbit our Earth, on exam papers
Einstein had a theory for time
as Physicist’s cram - their elitist IQ’s
to untangle Dimension’s, cubic clues
All, in their inherited quest
to locate
our purpose for existing
at this, time and place;
a game of theoretical guessing, Olympics
only now with pixelated, binary digitalisation
as our mappings, if only Progress
could theorise, its path to Acceptance
without, having to Disclaim
all that inherited: intuitive wisdom
first…

"Theoretical guessing " indeed my friend -- and totally agree with those wise observations in your last lines .
right? thank you dear Fay
why does it have to be
all one thing or the other
repeating the same mistakes
time n again..
'I believe this, therefore this is progress'
so I reject everything
about that, 'that's the cause for our regress'..
when in actuality, today's progress
is guaranteed to be, tomorrow's
regress..
all logically, natural
but people just can't take the considered
middle ground
it has got to be all one or the other
decades after the Berlin wall
came down..
humanity's evolution can't find a way
past 'taking sides'
as its chosen method
for self-destruction...
at a guess, might the answer be eleven by any chance .. 🙂
something close to it, at least
that humility of selfless consideration
where we all, as one
take a minute or 11
at 11am on the 11th month of the year
and pay tribute
to those sacrifices, in our collective history
that gave opportunity
for our modernity, to exist
as it is...
(yeah Hyung, 11's
as good a guess as anything else
for it gives a glimpse
at the very best of what humanity
may someday evolve
to represent...)
thank you!
Marvellous lines
Those philosophy of great saints
And the way it maybe revolutionary
But at times a sad discovery
Totally liked these lines
“if only Progress
could theorise, its path to Acceptance
without, having to Disclaim
all that inherited: intuitive wisdom
first… ”
well those lines, best encapsulate
the main theme of this scribble
so thank you! for highlighting them
dear Poet
A great dive into the curiosity of mankind and that continual searching for a meaning. It's in our nature, and it'll never die out, until we do. Amazing!
thank you, dear poet
so glad you enjoyed the read
how kind!
Still working this out....intuitive wisdom not working so well this morning!
Ha!
best comment on this page..
keep that sharp wit, ermm
sharpened?
(ah well, guess
mine has dulled
a bit..) lol
thank you! dear poet
That inherited: intuitive wisdom is part of our life and should never be overtaken by theoretical computerised theories.
Andy
Amen!
'that oh, so uncommon
sense, computes faster
than any CPU, will ever
cos innate
can't be grasped
let alone, surpassed!'
Meaning of life, theorized, poetized, analyzed, philosophied, the format changes but the search goes on as you have so poetically laid out.
Brilliant!!!
thank you, dear Poet
Philosophy really is the used car market of life. You know at some point it evolved, and at some point it will evolve again with clocked mileage and a granny on standby.
yep, it's all that wisdom
'granny on standby' has to offer
I fear
we're neglecting, to heed...
and by doing-so
subject ourselves, to evermore
elaborate - repeats
of those same, cyclically futile
mistakes...
(thank you! dear Poet)
