No More / No Less

Is there a fact of the matter

 that can never be disproved

 

Is there an absolute truth

 that all can behoove

 

As sure as we once were

 that the world was flat

 

We’ve transferred to the Big Bang,

 and the beginning of all that

 

Are facts just a servant

 to our spiritual minds

 

To provide order and sequence,

 make things easier to find

 

If one fact truly exists

 above all the rest

 

It’s that facts don’t exist

 —no more and no less

Still Unborn

How dependent are we on language,

 for the expansion of our minds

 

Each word a crucial building block,

 an archetype sublime

 

Can we think outside our diction,

 would our thoughts release and form

 

Or would truth and beauty, right and wrong

 —lay dormant still unborn
