Numbers

and all your worth is vain
and your eyes dive into the wrong ocean
when you believe you are drowning in the truth
in the man's house every corner is another world
and all are called partiality
all stem from insanity
manuals are wrong and you
when seek complicity
see that our destiny is called loneliness
because we are all distance
bumping into lost and desperate
in the empire of darkness
only the numbers survive sovereigns
predictable and sequential
indifferent to our quest
by the chimera of a world of equals

This would have been an appropriate poem to share with my philosophy class for their musing and "interpretation." The mid-section is very interesting...from "our destiny" to "empire of darkness."
