Black Hole Musings

something from the Bush era that is still relevant

BLACK HOLE MUSING

　

Often I just shake my head

at the way the laws of philosophy

can mix with refracted light,

introduce itself to a prism

and somehow define an atomized me.

Such is the logic of a material mind

playing a conscious dynamic role

working,

pulsing,

interacting abstractly

within reality, thereby

affecting life concretely.

*****

So, tell me once again,

maybe I will get it this time

and Time won’t be distorted by

the mystery of gravity

swirling amidst

the seeming absolutes of a Black Hole.

I mean, the Bible doesn’t mention

anything about gravitational eddies,

the curvature of space,

or atoms, protons or what

constitutes the basics of life.

So, I wonder,

couldn’t quantum physics explain why

for some, rational thinking,

seeking answers,

being guided by the truth

has been sucked from their minds?

I mean, isn’t this

much the same way Black Holes

suck light out of sequence

leaving patches of voided space?

*****

I often just shake my head

cause Black Holes, when applied

to the physical mind

is what is commonly known as faith.

But, faith becomes something else

when magnified by Christian fanaticism,

it can also be called

the rise of the living dead!

Zombies,

who only live by eating our thinking brains;

who want to rule the world with empty minds;

who demand obedience to an extremely rigid

Christian fascist, morality.

A new, high-tech, Dark Ages.

Yummy.

Unfortunately, religion often is used to control the masses, that much is true. Having nothing to do with religion, I absolutely believe quantum physics can explain why rational thinking has been sucked out of a lot of people's brains....religious ones or not. It seems stupidity abounds these days and many who are ignorant do not wish to learn...about anything. Your views are, as always, well expressed, Curt. A very worthwhile read....I might even go so far as to call it "nice" :)
