what are we
beyond all this?
locked up in these shells
time based and body bound
subject to cosmic laws
we don’t understand
we grapple and struggle
to make sense of this
we plead with the wise
to explain
our predicament
we search the heavens
for company
but we remain
time based and body bound
each of us
a momentary appearance
in the mind of god
each time i try and
understand all this
my mind collapses
and i am left without words.
