(part XVI)
Inside the walls
Within Safety
Culture began to believe
In the Gods
Who used words like Science
To spread their propaganda
They spoke half truths
Withheld full truths
In their subtle manipulation
That was calculated
And projected
And timed
And crafted.
Witnessed
And abruptly shot
Ministry of pain
And society of lust
Consumed and obeyed
Falling evermore for trust
Reason and Science
Brothers made from different dust
Elevation
And a mastery of art
Anger and confusion
To each to gather as they must
I am lost in a sea of science
Stuck somewhere in inertia
Hovering closely to propagation
That leaves explosives
Dormant
Exhaling undone neurons
That have gathered around the nucleus
Orbiting
Centripetal force keeping
My central theory alive
For after all
I am gravity
Led by gravitas.
I ran into a solid wall
Ten feet by ten feet wide.
It wasn’t for any science test,
Nor for a high paying bet.
It wasn’t for a parkour feat,
Misunderstanding or drunken stupor.
No, I had my eyes diverted,
Turned, distracted.
For there she walked.
