At times, I look at the words 
and simply wonder
what caused 
the spark of inspiration.
I am amazed and awed
by the significance
or is it the insignificance

Looking to the stars
I too, seek a thread 
of immortality,
asking for 
constructive critiques
of this primitive mind,
pondering
how such endeavors
may be entertained
by unabstracted intelligence

We think, 
therefore we create

Driven by a filament
of self-serving egotism,
weaving a web 
of idealistic purpose
we attempt,
thus far successfully,
to establish 
our supreme existence

Yet, we are unchallenged
and convinced of our merit
as universal thinkers,
able to resolve
any issue,
given proper amount of consideration
and ample funding.
Our resolutions 
always look good
on paper anyway

Elaborations erupt
from every mind,
from angles unimagined 
on subjects diverse
as the grains of sand
on ten thousand beaches
evolved and 
rightfully accepted
as an original conception

We flourish
with words

Reflecting beyond the boundaries
of my thoughts
the star pulse is felt
and the response 
is considered 
and translated 
into meaningful advice

we hear 
but we can not listen

Always substantiate words 
by preponderance of evidence;
your insignificant,
microspasmic
pretense
of intelligence
puncture the cells of my being.
Achieve peace
cure disease
eliminate greed
evolve into your capability
then we can talk
