"...we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned
in the distance by a invisible piper."
Albert Einstein
Einstein's inner mindscape view is intense
all of which for believers, makes some sense.
Everywhere one hears the Perfect Piper;
enchanting and also hidden cipher,
invisible messiah who would care,
in the sky, in the soil and in the air.
Feel his presence, trust this piper's ditty,
we will not always see true reality.
He who dares to challenge the universe,
the gods of Abraham and bible verse.
An ineffable maestro stands in stead
who plays that cosmic music in your head.
This is the realm of the Perfect Piper,
sparks human emotions ever hyper;
mysterious force that we cannot control
as each of us hopes to fulfill our role.
He exerts his power over all things,
one wonders what quantum quests this then brings.

Westerners tend towards anthropromorphization of gods
and characters from Michelangelo to Dr. Suess. This somewhat
secular speculation poem on the Perfect Piper (nee Invisible
Piper) uses a famous quote of Albert Einstein on god's
existence to comment:
"Everything is determined, every beginning and ending, by forces
over which we have no control. It is determined for the insect, as
well as for the star. Human beings, vegetables, or cosmic dust,
we all dance to a mysterious tune, intoned in the distance by an
invisible piper." The question for the ages.
