Philosophy

On the moment before clarity lies doubt
In faith, in nation, even purpose of being
So few have the eyes of the Gods
So many follow blindly accepting without knowledge

God created the Earth in six days
Philosophy deconstructed it shortly after
The answers to death and reality
Are nothing more than a lie

In the hearts of men lie reality
In the hearts of philosophers lie academia
O’ father give us hope if you exist

Philosophers offer that god is dead
Reality dictates he’s more of a new age parent
Philosophy the science of lost hope and dying dreams
Reality the science of belief in self
Philosophical reality the science of the paradox
