Nothing exists except atoms and space, And everything else is opinion, Yet we can't determine the time of their place, And relative distance between 'em. If I could understand, With a wave of my hand, All that is, and what lies in between, I probably wouldn't, For fear that I couldn't Unsee what what I might think obscene. What if, for example, I could indeed sample All knowledge there is to be known? Would I be enlightened, Or possibly frightened? Depressed once all mystery's gone? If nothing exists except atoms and space, And if everything else is opinion, Then surely opinion's mankind's saving grace; The source of the beauty within 'em
