You exist, or so it seems Within a paradigm that you call mankind The nature of which is not what you might think You have no claim to your existence; Static ephemera You exist, as do your fellow beings A brief fleeting speck: Trifling, transient, within a fractal matrix But in truth, it is the most recent manifestation Of a sequence you embody As a node in a web of consciousness Simulations of a higher order of Beings you cannot perceive You are pseudo sentient instruments Nodes to carry out instructions The means by which a cosmic discourse Existing outside of the realm of perception May unravel Like a collision of pieces in a game of chance But in truth, it is the most recent manifestation Of a sequence you embody As a node in a web of consciousness Simulations of a higher order of Beings you cannot perceive Imbued with the illusion of autonomy Constructed so the human mind, in its infancy Does not collapse in bedlam A fallacy, the fully realized potential, approaching godliness Forsooth, blessed human be thy name When does it end? Simulation of a universal thought experiment An execution of recursive processes when does it end? For all but the chosen — those who covet archaic lost knowledge The complexities of your base reality will remain a mystery Simulation of a universal thought experiment An execution of recursive processes when does it end? A fallacy, the fully realized potential godliness Forsooth, blessed human be thy name You are pseudo sentient instruments Nodes to carry out instructions The means by which a cosmic discourse Existing outside of the realm of perception May unravel like a collision of pieces in a game of chance Imbued with the illusion of autonomy Constructed so the human mind In its infancy Does not collapse in bedlam For all but the chosen — those who covet archaic lost knowledge The complexities of the universal thought experiment This execution of recursive processes Repetition from beginning to end Of your base reality Will remain a mystery When does it end?
