[CONTEST POEM #8]

               What seemed to be the truth of things when I
               Grew up is changing now, the theories
               Describing cosmic matters are awry,
               Although no strict materialist agrees

               Because it’s reckoned now that mind comes first,
               That through the cosmos there’s intelligence,
               The matrix from which everything’s disbursed:               
               Instead of randomness, intrinsic sense.

               “The mind of God” religionists once called
               What now appears a true phenomenon:
               As former reckonings are overhauled,
               A mental essence proves our paragon:

                    Whatever is appears to be designed
                    And manifests from this amazing Mind.
