Where'd you get your colours from?
Red green and blue
In differing blends
And differing shapes
These the objects that are
Seen through a rainbow of murkiness
What shaped and coloured your life?
Why do you live?
How did you get to be in space and time?
A trillion trillion events
Too large for the human brain
And the largest super-computer
In the space of a split second
How do you think?
How did you get from
Non - being to being?
What was the causal element?
What caused the causal element
In the first place?
Who made the tools
To hew the trees
And cut short the universe
Of the hunters and the hunted
Who mined the metal?
Why - slaves of inhumanity in
Inhumane conditions
Wary of the seams
Whilst picking at precious metals
In perpetual agony
Why do they gnash their teeth?
What's the air like?
Floating like needles in the sky
Puncturing the clouds
And freeing
The uncountable memories
Of the universe
Like the neutrinos
that pass effortlessly through
Gold and diamonds
Like a razored knife
Passing through water.
