When God Logs Off

Insomnia taunts me, I turned on my t.v.;

Rapt in the arms of a galaxy spiral.

Heard a sea-shell hid it's secret as well.

This nexus is key to our planets survival.

One precious moment it all became clear;

Brain-cloud-haze lifted by euphoric fear.

To the unknown my mind's eye directed;

Beheld every mote in creation connected.

No more Hereafter, eugenics our master;

Sectarist lecture mere witless hubris.

Humanity's blunder was ceasing to wonder;

Why are we here; what's the meaning of this?

Virtual church without actual sages;

Souls under scrutiny, rats in glass cages.

Enigmas deciphered are no longer needed;

Lost words of warning unheard or unheeded.

[Chorus:]

We're all hooked-up to the vast karmic internet;

Each of our souls on the end of its fibre.

One sacred fact that we can't download yet;

The truth is we share the same service-provider.

One precious moment it all became clear;

Brain-cloud-haze lifted by euphoric fear.

To the unknown my mind's eye directed;

Beheld every mote in creation connected.

[Chorus:]

We're all hooked-up to the vast karmic internet;

Each of our souls on the end of its fibre.

One sacred fact that we can't download yet;

The truth is we share the same service-provider.

The atheist plays whilst the orthodox pray.

Fundamentalists freak-out as humanists scoff.

A headlong collision 'twixt science and religion;

There'll be Hell to pay

when one day God logs-off.
