Idle Thoughts Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Chaos ruled the nothingness.
Only potentiality
existed in the timelessness
The universe was yet to be.

We cannot know the primal cause
which overcame the entropy.
Forced it to take a different course.
It must remain a mystery.

From nothing came reality
A fully orchestrated plan
Which could not happen possibly.
So says the finite mind of man.

So we build up hypotheses
and legends trying to explain
Rejecting others theories
Though there is nothing we can gain.

Arguments based on ignorance
are bandied freely to and fro.
If we found the truth by chance
it’s probable we would not know.

We know the universe exists.
We can’t deny the evidence
and yet the legends still persist
Though logically they make no sense.

Did God create the universe
and if so who created God
I do not wish to seem perverse
but I confess I find it odd.

Why is that mankind pursues
this useless quest obsessively.
I think the questions too abstruse
For us to view objectively.

I just accept the way things are
Which seems the wisest course to me
and hasn’t troubled me so far
But then perhaps I’m just lazy.
