And drifted around the frontiers of sight
With a bemused look on its face as if to say
Why was I made this way if this contrasts some holy intention?
And why keep it just in range with promises to behave
Why not simply discard and erase and start again?
Confusion can be so much worse than pain
It's the cruelest of all divine inventions
So inevitably it set its own goals and it focused on those
It lined the roads with lights and wires and fireworks
And whatever it could to disguise the great problem
With hundreds of lesser ones
And then it whiled away its time out on the precipice of life
Like a dot looking only to its sides and filling up its life
With the fashions of the moment and this restlessness that no one
Could quite put their finger on
And in a dream
A prophet said to me
"Hell is revelation
Heaven is ignorance"
