Ancestral Revelation
Eyeballs swivel to and fro
In lubricated sockets
Detecting light and shadow.
Through optic nerve raw signals race
To feed the hungry visual cortex.
A painter of reality
Fills in data gaps galore
From the palette of imagination.
Behold! The supernatural
Alive in vivid thoughts and dreams
Gives birth to unassailable belief
Passed on through generations.
And underneath it all
A theme as yet unknown:
The mighty double helix holds
A Detailed Natural Archive
Pre-tagged 'Do Not Adjust'.
One hundred thousand years
Five thousand generations
Fifteen hundred lifetimes
Mistakes were made!
Eyeballs swivel to and fro
In lubricated sockets
Detecting light and shadow.
Through optic nerve raw signals race
To feed the hungry visual cortex.
Your painter of reality
Converts this data stream to words
From the palette of your education.
Knowledge tames imagination
Imagination fuels knowledge.
A symbiotic beauty
Guiding us into the unknown
