find the man who thought first
of probabilities
of wager and ledger
bring up just about any subject
if you see him
reality has got him beat
pile high the numbers
stand one inventory upon another

you know, you could be replaced
very easily
by an algorithm
for that is all that the soul consists of, by awareness,
we are a series of on / off decisions

this of course proves nothing
for the lessons of history
reveal that even when armed
with sacred truth
we still fall short
