Litany
what sin lies within seeking to learn the nature of our existence?
the wisdom of the ages is meaningless if humanity is gone
is afterlife more important than continuing humanity?
our very cosmos is filled with unidentified flying objects
time, beginnings and ends are tools which human consciousness created
change has created us, change enables us, change shall overtake us
the course to the future runs through recognizing errors in our past
despite beliefs, reality may be rejected for only so long
the greatest dangers often lie within the act of doing nothing
human beings did not come from gods, gods came from within human minds
photons race through heavens in their time defying trek to everywhere
where there are humans, there shall always be divergence of opinions
is afterlife more important than the future of humanity?
not all have interest in finding a path out of the wilderness
we choose to kneel at altar of superstition, myth and tradition
too often we seek validation through affirmation by others
we ascend to the heavens through the thrust of a propulsion system
our opinions and beliefs are not truth, allegations are not facts
we do not need to fully understand it, to make some use of it
we exist within a cosmic realm of matter, energy and change
choose to be a cultivator of change which enhances humanity
the true holy trinity is skill to observe, adapt and improve
when humans refrain from questioning, the human future will be lost
Are we capable of understanding our place in this universe?
existence flows toward eternity for change willl not be denied
listening, only to what we want to hear, leads to misperception
shout anger into the dark night sky, receive starlight as the reply
eternity awaits but not in form which is recognizable
not all have interest in finding a path out of the wilderness
uncertainty is part of the entry fee of human existence
the timeless journey of our changing universe has no finish line
all we observe results from the evolution of our universe
we are always in pursuit of the very nature of our being
rumor, allusion and conspiracy are where the truth goes to die
our universe is capable of incredibly complex designs
atop a rotating blue-white orb, we spiral through the universe
why do arguments between human creeds become eons long blood feuds?
