The only true reality

This peopled world is threaded through

With those who’d tell you what to do

And what not to,

Push-me-pull-you’s

Trying to be owls of noble wisdom,

Flaunting opinions as though 

They were pieces of sacred knowledge,

As though this were the only true reality

And its furthest lengths and depths 

Had been explored and plowed for information

And fully understood,

As though humans were the only Lifeform

Of any consequence

Here

And, by extension,

The entire universe.

As though it had always been this way.
