Absolute Man Poem by vidyut chakraborty

Poet confided: Universe has been versed
in the concept of a Absolute Man
Within whom potential of each man is converged.
To that extent the entity of Universe is a humane truth
As much as an observer can perceive.
To that level all the scientific truth
is assumptive diagnosis.
Absolute Man -He is omnipresent,
so he is beyond boundary.
Knowledge of Universe is imbibed
in his soul, synchronized and systematized.
Poet paused: his impersonal conscious is enlightened,
The whole universe came to focus
through the human's power of knowledge.
Scientist astonishingly said-
then no beauty and no truth exist
Without subjectivity of human‘s existence!
Without man's look
will Belvedere's Apollo lose its beauty?
So may be! But fact is that
Absolute Truth Still remained;
Universe was there when human-world did not exist.
I, a human being, wander in the super nova
in limitless time with wonder and wonder.
The illusion appears to not a persona-grata
But to entire human race?
What mind thinks right is just an illusion!
What a sordid ending?
I glanced at the Beauty and praised her as beautiful
So Truth becomes Beauty.
