Molecules Bounce Around As They Must

On Determinism and Blame

Molecules bounce without aim,

Or socialized human head game;

Always some prior cause

Within nature’s laws

Means no one has ultimate blame.

==

Get Over It

The universe doesn’t take actions

Because of your special attractions:

Instead, I’ve a hunch

It thinks you’re a bunch

Of chemical reactions.

==

Free Will

We’re like some illogical bozo,

Not a reasoning virtuoso:

Since every event

Is of causal descent,

Nothing arises de novo.

==

Fate

Fate’s something we can’t wish away:

Atoms bounce as they must and don’t stray;

We protest or accept

While we’re getting prepped,

But we don’t get to have any say.
