We Shall Soon Forget

In case you've forgotten
The matter of fact
The truth of matter
And the substance it lacks
Following geniuses
As they attempt to dissect
Organic wisdom
Ancient artifacts
Facilitating progress
Enabling growth
Of an external distraction
Manifestations born
From our most human reaction
To the truth we define
Keeps us running in circles
As we try to find
A perfect bond
To hold this material
Jigsaw puzzle in place
To see our spirits reflection
Inside the smallest atom
That makes up this ship
That’s starting to sink
To the bottom of a dream
We shall soon forget
