Zeno of Elea

“It is true greatness to have in one, the frailty of a man and the security of a god.”  ~ Seneca as quoted by  Bacon in Of Adversity

Just one reality exists.  The rest

Subsists in falsity.  A paradox

Occurs in other thoughts, their falseness best

Described as fallacy.  This rest is flocks

Of non-existent birds.  They flap about

Among no meaning in an atmosphere

Made up of non-existent atoms.  Pout

About Reality, but one severe

Truth still remains and ever has been True.

There is no motion, matter, space or time.

These each are weightless and they have no hue.

All other thinking spreads as scads of slime.

  There’s no such thing as space.  To get to here

    From there requires infinity’s vast sphere.

~ Phillip Whidden
