Capability

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Jul 19, 2023

Capability.
Human
capability.
Extent?
How far?
What level 
of
understanding?
Searching 
for answers.
Not
knowing
the
questions.
Much 
put on
faith.
Faith
just a 
weasel 
word.
Meaningless,
admits 
lack of
understanding.
Limited 
mind.
Equipped 
with a 
limited 
computer.
Not 
capable
of seeing
the big
picture.
Correct
view lacking.
Finite 
processing 
power.
Programmed 
animal.
Obsessed.
Biologically 
governed,
focused.
Shooting 
blindly
in the 
dark.
Illuminating 
a tiny 
place 
in an
infinite 
void.
Always
more.
Infinitely
more
to know.
