Parody of Distance

Estranged men caught in their remote dimension
Loving only that, which they can see and touch
Digging foxholes to hide their fear of infinity
The concept has always been there
Eternity within the hearts of men,
yet they can neither see it or feel it naturally,
so they clutter their minds, with tangible temporary comforts
Occupying dull imaginations, with darker thoughts of probability
The definition of insanity, yet men continue to live and die
Choking on the fruits of their own knowledge,
either dissecting humanity with Occam’s razor
or pouring double binds upon their own heads
because seeing is believing, yet belief is the state of mind
in which a person thinks something to be the case,
with or without there being empirical evidence,
so not asking a question, because to them it does not exist,
yet with their limited imaginations they have lofty ideas,
as energy can neither be created nor destroyed
Spending all there of energy on temporal things
not considering a simple truth,
where will your essence spend eternity

Thanks very much, Tim. 1Co 3:19 For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God. For it is written, He taketh the wise in their own craftiness.
