Which came first
Mind or matter
And what are your reasons
For the former or latter?
Mind is immaterial
This you would expect
However, matter is material,
This you won’t reject.
In agreement up to now
Both you and me,
Let’s dig in a little deeper
And see what we can see.
Matter has no mind
This is a known fact,
The mind can ponder a matter
But matter is just that.
Matter has an origin
But not so the mind,
Mind transcends matter
And even time.
It would have to be
If you see what I mean
And this is why I set store
By the Genesis theme.
In the beginning God,
The eternal mind,
First cause of everything
Even time.
The power of mind
That is the mind of God
Is the origin of all matter
And I mean all.
There’s nothing new
Under the sun,
A sentiment of the wisest man,
Namely Solomon.
“Let us make man”
A concept of a mind,
Not of matter, my friend
And not of time.
Time is a major factor
In the theory of evolution,
After billions of years
Matter came to fruition.
A misguided concept
That pertains to nothing
And that tells you and me
Nothing is something.
Nothing is something
And something is matter
And this is probably why
Some chose the latter.
Mind or matter?
Matter edges in front,
Surely this is the conceptualizing
Of the mind of a dunce.
Without mind
Matter won’t matter
For how else could we tell
That matter is matter?
Mind came first
And mind always had to be,
God is the explanation!
The only one I see.
The intelligent mind,
God the Supreme
That always will be
And always has been.
The I AM THAT I AM
Is His name,
Yesterday, today and forever
He is the same.
If matter created mind
Rather than the other way
Then day is night
And night is day.
Down is up
And up is down
Heaven is hell
And a smile is a frown.
Alas, this is not so
For we all have a mind,
It’s not just a matter of matter
But it’s God’s design.
The mind matters
But matter doesn't mind
And matter never has
At any given time.
