I once held onto the wonderful tapestries of stories long gone That no longer even apply to the reality of existence The stories that never existed anywhere but the romantic images of young poets And artists prophetically penned in the language, which seemed so perfect Until everyone and everything realized that we cannot simply rely on the stories we tell ourselves And in an instant everything was destroyed and everything else was born As it all rained for days, sleet and glass sideways, ripping the world to shreds For god had finally shown himself And his name was systematically comprehended by generations of scientist Objectively reverse wiring the brain into a complete knowledge of everything that can never be understood fully And proof of fact was there on the page for all to see but none listened The word was too great to be understood And so god left man again To toil in the teleological Like a blind shepherd who had forgotten that he was once Jesus And that he held the key to everything that is and what should never be A wise man once said "of that one cannot speak one must be silent" But i think its worth the shot
