Unknowable?
by Tim Reed
a voice of light
eyes of sound
fingers that feel thought
peaceful war
free fate
a world of determined choice
a sea of air
heavens of water
intangible elements surround
facts, King
experience, Monarchy
uncombined - A n a r c h y
God is this
God is that
your words - conjecture
Does knowledge exist?
A world where I exist by doubt -
by doubt alone I breathe -
such a world is malaise to my essence
chains of skepticism my wrists embrace
- a nebulous python
Oh Python and Chains
~ see your shrine ~
~ see your throng of acolytes ~
"How dare you
question the snake?"
"How dare you
unlock the chains?"
I would rather embrace the shame of assuming knowledge
than to bow.
I would rather see shapes with my eyes
hear sounds with my ears.
I do not follow.
Your pretty words and self-importance.
Your obscene piety of impiety
They are not my lens.
