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?
