Sleep Now Child

Tomorrow’s another day, when this present is dead and done In reality one rotation, on earths path around the sun The position can be calculated, but what lies in store unknown Our planet’s measurable, not unpredictable like skin and bone And what happened in the past, ripples on through today Unnoticed in black space, random events still come our way Set forth in motion, from an indivisible speck of creation Seeded is life, seeded is death, seeded by quantum vibration Does evolution even matter, is what we see, what we get A generation tries find purpose, then hands over to the next Accumulations of knowledge, with caveats of past mistakes Our monkey business perhaps, one condition we cannot shake Are we simply apex animals, who developed higher brains Beasts of untold genius, primal instinct runs through our veins Intelligence driving us mad, at odds with ethics and morals A fixation on mortality, conflicts of minds causing quarrels What is consciousness, from which dimension do we view Electric signals in our heads, or cosmic portals seeping through Wherever this source comes from, and nobody knows for sure So many gods and theories, small wonder life’s obscure Cryptic forces build reality, but not readily understood Dark energy, Higgs fields, the shape of Genomes in our blood Crucified by curiosity, because of our advanced minds Is the price of being too clever, really just making us blind What brings manifestation, should we look for reason at all Why not sheer oblivion, how come an infinite large and small Born to die is simple, living forever way too complex Does truth lie in the medium, where chosen ones intersect Where are you Jesus Where are you Muhammad Where are you God Where are you Buddha Where are you Allah I’m wide awake, in this land of nod By David Kavanagh
