The Self-- A haphazard conglomerate, A hodge-podge of Flesh, bone, bilogy And philosophy and psychology And theology made whole In a single entity. The Self-- A binding together Of matter and soul In a single unit That knows itself, That recognizes its mortality And--usually--accepts that inevitability. The Self-- A construct of life, Fashioned by processes Or something higher, All of it beyond our capacity To understand. Oh, we think we understand, But science is as much a faith As any religion. The Self-- I, me, I am, And I know that I am Or at least might be. "If you can't annoy somebody, there's little point in writing." --Kingsley Amis |

Yep, we are alot of things aren't we? There is so much that is beyond our understanding, for sure. Great expression, Gofor! Denise |

I am just a carbon-based life form, but I always thought there must be more. Nice poem! ~Gene |

Gofor, I like it that your poems always have more questions than answers. I especially like these lines: But science is as much a faith As any religion. How true that is! Thanks for another good think. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |
