Prescience of Mind
Some things we can touch are truly set in stone,
From creatures living in sand, to ones choking on fish bones
They get stuck in mud, and dry out under the sun,
til after a hundred million years, fossil’s are well and truly done
You see many died at sea level, in any shape or measure,
some resurface atop mountains, forced up by tectonic pressure
Now we chip away slowly, using a chisel and hammer,
breaking open their mould, without making too much clamour
Information cannot be destroyed, it lives on forever
and human consciousness too, is simply far more than clever
We give the universe meaning by making observations
without us to see it, there would be no quantifications
Death is not the end, merely a quantum vibration
from mass to energy and back again, without any violations
So go ahead live your life, then come full circle,
time and space can’t endure oblivion, consciousness being eternal
