Bent

moved around so fast outran traces of my past contacts I'd amassed with little hesitation lost sight of situation not stabilizing life without compromising 'til next uprising left holding tight to what was searching out the next just cause tangled up in lies slim prospects can agonize tear through the disguise certainly no going back when all planning goes off-track some beliefs abide because of truths which they hide past acts they've denied everything and nothing count souls each taxed by right amount my own mother's faith premise easy to forsake seemed too profit based afterlife but a cheap trick fake carrot attached to stick relativity defines things differently with more symmetry increasing agility throughout the totality time a state of mind often used to try to find nature's true design of a mass always the same yet constantly rearranged where do we reside in universe vast and wide peer out from inside closer to edge than center current knowledge can't render dark skies filled with voids the cosmologist enjoys and black hole destroys this universe more or less is chock full of nothingness science lights the way to where we headed these days bits, bytes, down runways send voyages toward Oort cloud seeing how heavens are plowed ride the bleeding edge with data mining we dredge what Einstein alleged learning even photons bend in order to reach their end
