THE UNIVERSE

Peter Woodgate

It’s strange,

this Universe we try to understand

with Galaxies, Nebulae

and solar Systems, all are grand.

However,

look at the human brain,

the different cells and electric currents,

nothing there is plain.

Parts of the Universe have died,

some parts, as yet, not born

likewise brain cells too will die

dementia lives are torn.

Black holes, in Galaxies, swallow up

whatever gets too near,

dead brain cells can absorb the light

but not release I fear.

So, what of the Universe,

could it be a giant brain?

God’s, perhaps,

or am I just insane?

I can’t help thinking,

And this is no joke,

this Universe will expand, then explode

and God will have a stroke.
