Origins

Make aught from naught? this can not be!
'Tis an impossibility.
For though a thing may change
Or its parts rearrange
Do you not find it strange
That two can somehow equal three
Or none, for fun, add up to one?
This thought is dumb! It can't be done.
For though a thing may grow
And patterns start to show
Yet in your heart you know
None plus none times none--still none.
You know about this thing called "time"--
an interesting paradigm
Which says X causes Y
and that wings make birds fly
And will you now deny
That words must be, ere there be rhyme?
So speak, Darwin, Dawkins, and thee:
Whence came the first reality?
See, there was naught to come
And nowhere to be from
And zero (less than some!)
Quantum improbability.
So here we have a paradox:
You weigh your bosons, time your clocks,
And waxing pedagogic
you stand atop your logic,
geochronologic
and sundry guesses. Well, bollocks.
I'll cede you know the who, the how,
the what, the when, the where, the Now.
But this is not the same
as knowing whence it came
and human mind can't frame
The first, first cause. Dispute this thou?
