Primacy of Consciousness
As age draws on I see cause and effect
in the realms of life that some might neglect
For years I sought my answers without
with no solutions, I started to doubt
I turned first to god, the father and son
to see if they knew what should be done
I listened to preachers with plenty of shout
but the look in their eye was far from devout
I turned away, condemned and hell sent
and gave my attention a sciency bent
I looked to the cosmos and into the atom
they both looked the same and I started to fathom
Perhaps I was putting the cart before horse
and the brain is not the source of all thought
What if my mind is not made of stuff
but truly the Light that comes from above
“But this makes no sense” my ego declared
“shake yourself man you’re making me scared.”
“From whence then” said I “the hues in the park?
when my optic nerve is stuck in the dark.”
If time slows down with acceleration
you face a conundrum when riding a photon.
Never to know the absolute noumenon
your only experience - internal phenomenon
Now I look for my answers within,
knowing I’m not just brain brawn and skin
I think I may have understood finally
Consciousness is probably primary
