Intellectual Darkness

We are falling into profound isolation and loneliness
We are trapped in a continuous one way force
Bragging about our discoveries of the universe's secrets
Although our actual achievement was but to name a few stars
So called solutions come from an intellectual darkness
The imaginings of wise men wearing purple garments
They are diligent men at spreading their mythologies
Causing endless struggles that result in disappointments
Asking, searching and eventually blaming their gods
Falling faster and deeper into isolation and loneliness
