Dead Matter
Jordan Pacheco
We can begin to see the source and nature
Of matter's mysterious life producing property with this spirit substance
We see that biologic life is not, as some suppose
A phenomenon of dead matter
But an epiphenomenon of the life principle
All this is premature here and offered only to show
That metaphysics, when real
Is not a mere confusion of mind and sense
The knowledge of life, the world, the universe
We can begin to see matter's mysterious life producing property
With this spirit substance
We see that biologic life is not, as some suppose
A phenomenon of dead matter
Dead matter
But an epiphenomenon of the life principle
The knowledge of life, the world, the universe
The knowledge of life, the world, the universe
