The Power of Possibilities

We don’t yet understand the neural basis
of consciousness nor the connections that
make self and the cosmos possible.
We know only that our imaginations love to roam
Until they have found a home.
Like it or not, curiosity does not exist among
the brain-washed, or ideologues, the greedy
or among tyrants.

And so…

Along the space/time continuum
We can walk or soar without fear of extinction
Take in the stars and rearrange them
Mold an exo-planet or two
with our bare hands;
Scatter beams of light
Knock anything out of sight
the Universe is our playground.

The game of “what if” becomes our toy
To mold space or change matter
both the seen and the unseen
What will we do with our spare time?
In fact there is little time to spare for if it is endless
let us imagine a better world than this
starting now.

When all is said and done
After we have had our fun
And we find that infinity is not to be grasped
The moon and stars cannot see what our minds can fathom
A touch a kiss a smile are bliss
And things that we all will miss
If we believe that our possibilities are too few and
our sensibilities are too cold and our
imaginations too suppressed to be palpable.

It’s time to reign in the spoils
Choose among the possible
AI could be our floodlight to tomorrow
When we will own it all
And a fresh start
Will lead us to our new world of
endless possibilities.
