What I Want To Know


What I Want To Know

What I want to know
Is how many angels
You can get
             on the head
Of a pin
            when
You can't even agree
On its size
To start with?
                       To say:
            what manner
Of missing the point
Is this??
Or the argument
Between Arianism
And Athanarianism…

Come on.
If your life depended
On your answer, you
Wouldn't take the matter
                 so lightly.
As it has
In the past…

What nonsense all this
Has been.
                    'What fools
These mortals be'
Observed Puck
Of the human not-so comedy.
                      Indeed.

With any luck, we
Will outwit them all,
All these lesser mortals
Who have disgraced the pages
Of our history
As a species
                       and allow
Some sanity to prevail

At last.

Knowing, that some of 'them'
Were us.
