Life

We are helplessly credulous
innocents submitting to
the faith of belief; black
can be white, the
fantastic credible,
and illusion stark reality.

This is not an obverse
universe, but the
rational one that science
explicates while the
emotional world of psychic
need that trust-addled
humans fallibly inhabit
limps us into the future.

The tumult of uncertainty
in our spirits seeks
assurance for our sadly
wan existence.
