Defy understanding
A problem upon which
My thoughts have been expanding
I know of faith and its conundrums
I know of drugs and their hallucinations

Understanding forgotten
As you embrace the deception of your perception
The words you hear spoken with divinity
They take you into a trance-like tranquility
And much like the hypnotised
You'll take anything pre-described

Knowledge disputed
Science rebutted
So many debates
Too many aggressive complaints
Agree to disagree
Shake hands and walk away free

To defy understanding
Is to deny the facts,
simple truths that simple folk like to simply ignore
Maybe the inner soul of mine is dark ,
deranged and destitute
Tied and shackled to another institute
Perhaps my eyes have opened to the need
for something more substantial
And not just wallowing
in the realms of the circumstantial
