What if it’s not
what we thought
it would be
at all?
We told ourselves
stories
and wrote them
on the walls.
Came to a point
when we thought
we could go so far.
Turns out we’re all
really just explorers
at heart.
We wrote books
and made movies
and thought
we could see ourselves.
Convinced by our own
imaginations
that we could tell
what would be true,
but in the end
we deceived ourselves.
At least
we went boldly
into tomorrow,
if nothing else.
There’s things
beyond us
that we can’t even
conceive.
Everyone’s wrong,
regardless
of what we believe.
We can face
the New Truth
on our feet,
or on our knees.
There’s something coming,
and it’s something
you’ve got to see.
Imagine the stories
told of the world
by primitive Man.
Now, think about
how we live,
what we understand.
Now, consider
that what’s coming next
makes all of our plans
look like we’re painting
our stories on walls
again.
