A Lion Chases

Is consciousness emergent,
or de facto zero sum

Is what we know about ourselves,
a walk or more a run

A lion knows to chase a deer,
but not the reason why

The truth inherent in abstraction,
lost upon the fly

As man continues onward,
his psyche then will grow

Until surpassing all he seeks
—and all existence shown
