Limiting the Mind

I look around I only go shallow A Four Walled room, with a ceiling, and a ground Deep thinking brings sorrow It all seems so simple There was a time when so it seemed When I was sung to… twinkle, twinkle Now, I'm searching how to be redeemed My Mind dwells and dwells Searching for the balance between reason and desires But I fear my mind has fell Beyond reason, to a mind-torturing fire I kept falling Now to a completely different Four walled room, with a ceiling, and a ground I look around But this time, I can't go shallow To my left lies the universe, making no sound Only pointing to the wall Coded with answers A language human-kind can barely understand, so vague But I try to decipher them, trying to take And control this knowledge Here it says… What is Religion? What made the Universe? What made man? What made the atom, the proton, the electron? And what made that… But what about The Maker? The language became too complicated Suddenly, a glowing light from the wall hit me Got me flat on the ground Perplexed, I open my eyes I look around Back to the old Four walled room, with a ceiling, and a ground From now on I only go shallow
