Will humans line up, row by row,
Their rockets into ether throw,
That life and mind not perish though
The primal scream hangs on, "No! No!"

Yearning for Immortality
For beliefs in myths, in wishful thinking's realm
-- That one assumà ¨d resurrection every death o'erwhelm --
We posit one omnipotence that hears the chosens' pleas
And orders them to kill all those who will not bend their knees.
