Knowledge in Creation

by R. D. Ashby

Now here’s a strange thing, we refer
To objects in our world at once
Objects of our knowing and do not know
The difference – if there is none
Objects in our world are knowledge forms.

It is strange to say the tree I identify
Is assumed to be the tree in itself
It means the tree as it exists
Is a knowledge form of a creative context
I as perceiver enjoin in the perceiving.

It is strange then how a creative context
In its process of objects as they
Are known is given less credence than
Ourselves who merely perceive what’s there
To realise our knowledge of objects.

Now here’s a strange thing, we refer
To God as creator of all things, science
Raises demur that perceives and comes to know
All things, and presumes creator status
To name the knowledge in God’s creation.

Comments on this Poem

Knowledge is gained not only by perfection but also by conception; that is by sense knowledge and by mental realization seeing things happening by miracle! Tree by perception we know as knowledge and God by conception we know as knowledge ! Nice one!
