THE GREAT DEBATE

Louis Gibbs

THE GREAT DEBATE

 

The debate rages among philosophers ...

Is our world an illusion?

A mere hologram?

A construct of the mind?

Perhaps just a dream our souls are having

To explore the spectrum of light and dark?

 

Meanwhile, as the debate goes on,

We cling desperately to our beliefs

To keep from going mad.

    Their are beliefs and there is reality. Wouldn't you just slap some of those living an illusion, especially when history can serve as a guide. Thanks for thought provoking piece.
