Quixotic ~ Saturday, 29 September 2018

When you seek the answer to the meaning of life
however much you long to know what is unknown
even perhaps to some unknowable to minds
nevermore limited in perspective whose sight

yet still undiminished by age cannot see past
organized religion a crime against mankind
until their eyes close shut to envision all time

set to occur at once in a single moment
enter the mind of God as we imagine Him
even this single drop of rain in a monsoon
kills the impossible quest for ultimate truth

take a second to walk inside a glass mirror
however difficult the same holds true to gain
entry in a black hole your perspective flattens

as you approach the speed of light you discover
nothing but the surface strength gravity conducts
slipping past the surface requires you move faster
when you approach the speed of light than light itself
even this seems absurd beyond understanding
really in this moment can we begin to see

totality simply beyond comprehension
only infinity makes sense when used in math

to imagine the world as if humans never
hovered with light friction over the whole planet
earth without a park bench dedicated to Georges

maybe if you began to think like a mountain
every aeon you rise until you disappear 
and the point of it all being without meaning
nothing but language games to express this motion
if the world were without humans we may know life
not from the inside view but as souls without words
given our need to know everything in this world

only meaning beyond language evades our minds
for words rewire the brain to operate with words

language haunts our systems controls our very souls
in thoughts that organize the world like an essay
for to engage reason seems ethical by choice
ethics however laughs sardonically at truth
