Stagnancy Doesn’t Cause the Future and Yet the Insignificance is Changed

Stagnancy doesn’t cause the future and yet the insignificance is changed. --RC Vagilidad

As when someone have an eye
So does he see through a lie:

As when someone stirs a cup of coffee
Unintentionally giving it disharmony
(So it appears on seeing
That the coffee makes the stirring).
Behold, the truth lies
In the hand, in the first cause,
And in the cup that holds which makes the stirring
Stir to a pause.

the 1st line is extremely confusing!
I like the last stanza even though im still pondering it!

The very first line confused me, but once I got past it I understood what you were talking about. Very interesting concept and well worded. Reminds me of Schrodinger's Cat, and the question "if a tree falls all by itself and nobody is around to hear it, does it make any sound?" everything has to do with perception and perception is deceiving; makes the world a very complicated place to live in.

the first cause of it all is in our brains, all in the while controls our hands...

we are not programmed fools of this universe, we all have our own distinct purpose. indeed a quite seemingly disproportionate aspect of why the HELL are we existing by the way. are we here to die, or are we here to live. this insignificance of it all neither it will cause our future or we just lay in our coffins will surmount to THE PROBLEM OF BEING.

you have given a wide range of depictions, in either way you nailed the stem of thoughts I impeccably unintended. in other words, you made it easy to read than my in-depth thought, too complex to reiterate, too deep to submerge into...it seems like you have just given a remarkable review on my poem.. which is in fact your expertise analogizing poems.

thank you for this, it was my pleasure seeing someone get inspired to my totally random being. existing perhaps is crucial once you get someone offhandedly divulge to your works. sorry just some of existentialistic views....
