Science
never answers
the primary
questions
it ponders
in circles
deck chairs
rearranged
Reciprocal
theorems
of self
aggrandizement
indentured
to kingdoms
where dilettantes
reign
Why
is there love
why
is there war
why
are we human
why
do we grieve
Why
do we question
why
is there joy
why
are there feelings
that
foster belief
Is
consciousness
timeless
do thoughts ever die
is prescience
a quotient
does truth
ever lie
Is looking
for answers
outside the true
realm
the act that
betrays us
and damns us
— to hell

Yes. Science (as in what we consider to be the natural sciences), CAN answer the what and the how, often where, and even, at points, when), but the ultimate WHY question is really outside of its scope. Profound poem, Kurt. Well expressed! 🌹👏
Thanks Tristan, as Physicists like to call it ... THE HARD PROBLEM.
Indeed! You are most welcome, Kurt!
Age old questions that remain unanswered. Another good write Kurt
Thanks Soren. It's all about the questions.
