Lock It Up

Lock it up

Any chronic stupidity

Any accrued ignorance

Any endless foolishness

Lock them up

Any invisible gods

Any human condition

Any genetic blindness

Lock it up

Any lack of taste

Any empty words

Any noisy silence

Lock it up

And throw away the key

Break it in two before

Even into three sharp pieces

Lock it all up forever

And treat it like the plague

All human plagues

All human cruelty

...

“Who is saying all these hurtful things?”

...

The gall

The audacity

The chutzpah

To call these

Hurtful

The truth only hurts

Those who are some if not all of these things

I am Science

And only I hold the key to any truth

Surely not you and everything that was said above

You can always read it again

And again

And again

Until it enters

Your blood-brain barrier

And stays once and for all

Or at least until the Sun blows up

And the solar system is no more

Patrick has a slightly different view, especially since he fell in love with Goddess Athena.

Dedicated to Friedrich Nietzsche and Christopher Hitchens and the other scientific luminaries who lived between them. There were a few before them and there are more than a few after them, but these two have ignited a new light that could never be extinguished, that is until the Sun goes nova with all their light in the most beautiful explosion Earth would ever witness as it would envelop it in a fire which any human-invented hell would look like a campfire in comparison. If you still need to worship something, do not worship Science since it advances and changes minds all the time. You can always worship the Sun. It is the only worship-worthy deity.
