PHILOSOPHY POETRY
Thoughtful poems can make you think
Pause and consider
Wonder about reality
Time and cosmology
Emotions and everyday problems
Society and relationships
Scientific inventions
War and history and politics
Poetry is more focused than philosophy
Far fewer words to read
Ideas direct to your mind
Clarity and simplicity
You may not know about metaphysics
Art appreciation and aesthetics
But a poem can guide and inform
Without seeming too profound
Academics and most philosophers
Write for other academics and philosophers
Creative poets write for the world
The joy of existence and the power of the word
ZONE AFTER TIME
Further into the future than can be imagined
Existence will be existence that we cannot imagine
History forgotten
Nowhere for events to happen
Light and dark have no meaning
Space will have been replaced
Stars disappeared
No words heard
No sound to be found
Atoms at a standstill
Gravity lost to reality
Nothing is everywhere for ever
Time gone away
To start again one sunny day
