They say for every grain of sand on earth
there is a star somewhere in the universe 
But it’s not true 
there are more stars by far 
About ten thousand for every grain of sand 
give or take a few, 
Who’s counting anyway 
well I am!

Why?

Talk about overkill!
Why does the universe 
need 2 trillion galaxies 
each packed with 100 billion stars?

I’ll tell you why!

Because that’s the exact amount 
you need to ensure one Goldilocks planet 
like our earth forms, with intelligent beings 
capable of figuring all this out, 
whilst living on it

Yeah but to what end?

Think about it!
without us humans to observe 
and study the universe 
It may as well be a mere 
meaningless empty firmament 
that frogs look up at, 
when mating under the night sky! 

Here’s a little secret 
the universe cannot think for itself 
It needs conscious sentient intelligent beings,
to come into focus, and give it meaning 
We are the universe,
the universe is us, 
Both one and the same,
inevitabilities of eternity 

Oh one could argue 
the universe would still be here if I weren’t here 
Just like when I die
It’ll still be here
But will it!
how can I know without consciousness,
and therein (lies) the bare (truth)

It may as well not be here
when I come to pass 
Insofar as I’m concerned it won’t be, 
But the atoms and information that made me 
will always be around 
So where does my consciousness go
I’m not much good without it 
let’s be honest 
probably equally as bad with it too

#Listen! I’m leaving all afterlife possibilities 
aside just for now 
because I cannot explain or understand them,
Besides being agnostic 
is my cop out card#

Anyway 
I live inside eternity of that I’m pretty sure 
so everything that happens 
stays inside eternity 
even my consciousness

And as everyone knows
an infinite amount of infinities 
reside inside eternity, 
meaning all consciousness 
must be inside eternity 
in an infinite amount of diverse ways 

So even if the universe rips itself apart, 
or implodes with a Big Crunch 
it can only rebound in an energy exchange
and form a new universe, 
(another big bang)

Then after 14 billion years or so,
in one of its 2 trillion future galaxies 
each packed with 100 billion stars, 
another version of me 
will recombobulate back together 

Hopefully it’s the Bill Gates version 
with George Clooney looks, 
Schwarzenegger’s body
and Einstein’s brain, 
next time around! 

So you see 
I am here 
because I have to be here
I honestly had no choice 
But hey that’s just me!
Maybe you came for 
a different reason
and that’s fine too!

Besides if I’m wrong,
and a god/goddess did build 
this universe for unknown reasons 
like personal amusement, 
Am I not fulfilling my duty to them, 
by writing such seriously fun things! 

to be conscious or not to be conscious 
~ that is the only question
