Rhetorical mystery
GIDRAF MWANGI 1992 (Murang'a)
Did the egg, smooth and mysterious
Begin the long hen and cock lineage?
Or did the original mother hen
Lay the first egg that egged on the lineage?
Did the big bang, in its crescendo
Begin the creation of all that is?
Or did the mysterious stuff that banged
The source of all creation?
The world is both chaotic and orderly
The question then is;
Is the world arranged in orderly chaos?
Or is it arranged in chaotic orderliness?
We might not know how it was done
But we all believe the world was created
The question then is;
Who created the creators of the world?
We occupy 0.000000000000000... of the universe
That's not counting the possibility of parallel universes
We also have no evidence of other life elsewhere
Then what is the purpose of all that space???
