FEEL AFRAID

do the ocean ever wonder whence has come the moonlight?
do the creatures that inhabit its darkest bowels realize
there is light somewhere?
do roaming fishes of the abyss ever stray to the heights
of warm pleasing waters where the greenery spreads wide
floating all too careless?

is there mistery where eyes cannot cast their sight?
is there reason to wonder upon the tricks of the mind?
is there reason to fear what cannot ever be touched?
is there safety in thinking what cannot ever be thought?

do great mammals of the artic that dwell deep in the ice
ever dream about a desert that would demand a lifetime
only to be circumvented?
if a black hole gives birth to a star within its arms
does the child's light ever try go through the chasm
that has the child star sorrounded?


feel afraid! feel afraid!
for reality is unknown to the gods and the apes
for the scrutiny of one atom might unveil the most damnable of fates!
