Systems of Empirical Perception
Location
Execute the steps to show the solution
Quietly follow order to dissolution
Cause leads to effect and beginning to end
Simply calculate the meaning to find a trend
Some things are black and white
Most defy, just in spite.
Not all of the old can account for the new
More often than not, very few
Not all things in motion should stay
The principles of inertia can betray
The heart and mind of the protégé who
Unknowingly and absently waits in queue.
Perception is the key
Unlock the door of past decree
Not all nucleotides fit in synch
Like nature and the way her structures interlink
Time rusts and slows all things to a grind.
The gears of Descartes’ mechanical mind
Turn to the purpose of an era since past
A perspective spent and used cannot forever last
The connections start to fray,
The wires corrode, then decay
Entropy, life’s rival, gains momentum
Balance and dependency sway on a fulcrum
Threaten to fall, unless someone illuminates the way.
Energy cannot be created nor destroyed, but order can fail to stay.
Things that are here have a tendency to be there
Too much to comprehend, like pi when you take its square
Only when you divert your attention does one become all
A point in space defined by the minds of men, so small.
Things are only where you think they should be
One look away and tendency is no longer your detainee
Properties emerge that cannot be seen by dissection
An entire system available for inspection
The sum of all parts doesn’t necessarily account for the whole
But the way it all merges, then a diamond isn’t coal
There comes a time when previous models need to be revised
When the world starts to decompose, a new ethos is advised
A key reactant to the Synthesis of a solvent for change,
The realization of perception, its domain and range.
Conceptualization is the beginning of actualization
Thoughts are generated and emitted like radiation
They evolve from idea to concept to fact
Like a theory’s trials to a law, and its impact.
The gears may turn, but they are a cell in the organism
A constructive element, an act of anabolism.
To an open mind, the possibilities are endless,
When you liberate your mind from focused blindness,
Possibilities become probabilities, and nothing, everything.
Only when you stop to observe, can you hear The Spheres Sing.
