Velocity

Our minds would be riddled with confusion, If we did not depend upon illusion. With our planet spinning at a rate Yet we think it is a steady state. That constant stellar glow at night Flashes at us with the speed of light. And while the sun shifts through the air of its speed we are unaware. What we see from planet earth Is but a snapshot of stars' birth. We would feel bewildered and aghast If we understood our view was of the past. It feels like it is just the present Which allows our minds to give assent. Just think how your mind received a jolt When in a train carriage at a halt A sense of motion over you did play As the train beside you pulled away. To reality we do seem blind As nature plays tricks upon our mind.
