Comprehension

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 06, 2023 

Comprehension.
Understood.
Capacity
to know.
Limited.
Confined
to a
world of
limitations.
Human
knowledge,
civilization
resides
in small
capacity.
Housed
in a
box.
Governed
by a
limited
processor.
Be all,
end all.
Not!
Bubble
of the
possible.
Much
outside.
Unable
to know,
understand.
Dogs
understand
dog world.
Humans
understand
human
world.
Nothing
more.
Limited
ability
to know
the infinite.
Self
impressed
nonetheless.
Perspective
lacking.
Terrarium
life.
Nothing
more.
A.I.
world.
Whole
new
ballgame.
