Creator
by Sam M. Phillips

Important point,
General theory,
Vital evolution,
Affirmation of spirit,
Matter as antagonist.

Universe expands,
Astronomers calculate,
Billions of years in the making,
Sun, Earth,
Stars, Planets,
Tiny specks,
Born and becoming mature.

Roaring furnace,
Force of life,
Sweeping like a fury into existence,
Gradual insertion of freedom,
A foothold into the realm of matter.

Free activity,
Gradual enlargement,
Moulds atoms into molecules,
Building blocks of life,
Increase in complexity no accident.

Minute living cells,
Birth-less,
Deathless,
No change,
For a time.

Work together,
Share energy,
Coding increases,
Knowledge allows evolution.

Multi-cellular,
Shed old cells,
Grow new ones,
Invention of death to serve life,
Just a mechanism of change and growth,
Not an ending.

Variety replaces monotony,
Laws of existence expand,
Life takes firmer hold in realm of matter.

Shock to system,
Habit leads to stagnation,
Old creatures die off,
New ones fight for life,
Fight to learn,
Learn to evolve,
Evolve to live,
Or die, and replaced,
A never ending cycle.

Excess of energy,
Consciousness springs into being,
Required for next leap,
A powerful servant,
Taken on to advance knowledge,
To view the big picture,
Instinct can carry only so far.

Consciousness becomes powerful,
Divides life against itself,
Lost in superficial problems,
Superfluous data in the super computer of mind.

Division leads to fighting,
Leads to progress,
Vitality,
Survival of the fittest,
But divisive consciousness not the goal,
Goal is life,
Life is the master consciousness serves.

Left to self,
Consciousness is passive,
Lost,
Confused,
Leads to boredom,
Wonder of existence lost in a hazy sea of mediocrity.

Life force must reassert itself,
It has the real power,
And it will,
Now art, science and philosophy give us hope,
Give us purpose,
No longer slaves,
Driven forward.

No longer lost individuals,
We are powerful beings,
Masters,
Finding bravery and independence in isolation.

With will,
Life and consciousness and matter combine,
We become creator gods.
