Our Quest For Real Truth

Though some things seem fragile as river bubbles,
like our brains that dream universal truth,
the water of the river that still flows
beneath thin veneer of cherished illusions
never ceases to flush all lies away.
My parents took me to church every week
for twenty years since the day I was born,
and while I sat inside the building shell
the words of the preacher conjured bright spell
that generated illusion of truth
in virtual model of the universe
that depicted flat Earth covered by dome
of transparent expanse in firmament
that tracked the sun and moon across the sky.
But when I read books by Copernicus,
who proved our global Earth circles the sun,
that virtual model shattered in my mind,
and faith fell in fragments on the cold ground,
exposing my fragile mind flickering dreams
to the emptiness of the boundless void.
Now I investigate nature of things,
exploring facts my eyes and hands can sense,
and measure physical shapes of all forms
while cataloguing basic qualities
that compose structures of material objects
which exist in limits of time and space.
Together as we measure all the world
we will construct complete ontology
depicting true nature of our universe
formed from atoms that swirl in boundless void
and link in spirals of whole carbon rings
through deoxyribonucleic acid
in tight threading chain of nucleotides
with genetic code that creates our bodies
which self-replicates material of atoms
to evolve organic creatures with brains.
All matter of the universe we see
spreads outward from big bang of the First Flash
and flares forth into galaxies of suns
weaving molecules into spinning globes
which nourish organic life from carbon rings
evolving into creatures with four legs
whose brains of neurons shaped like galaxies
generate virtual model of our world.
Though the world view of my ancestors crashed
into fragments of illusions from faith,
we build new world view on facts we can prove
that will adjust and transform as we learn
new facts based on accurate measurements,
so we continue our quest for real truth.
