Inside The Mirage

Is the distinction between
science and philosophy
nothing but
 illusion
Affirming what it wouldst 
certainly and firmly most deny
Proponents of formulaic truth
require a defense against critique
judgment unrelenting
as their proof is self-inured 
Science thus infallible
because its findings are collective
Their community not disposed
to answer
questions they will
— never ask
