Pandemic Of Ignorance

Facing the intangible immensity of the Universe

That the most complex equations

Emerged from the most erudite minds

Have not even scratched

Facing the intersidereal void of infinity

Of which known celestial bodies constitute

Only a small fraction of the mass

And that our extinction would

Not even undermine

We are but insignificant creatures

Dust particles in the gigantic wheels

Of this magnificent celestial mechanics

Before which we should kneel down

As a sign of limitless admiration

Every moment of our miserable existence

But your ignorance has made

You forget everything

Your origins, your history, your mistakes

Your eyes have been closed

You no longer know how to contemplate

Believing you were taming Nature

In an infamous matricide

You have placed yourself at the centre of Creation

We are surrounded by wonders

But nobody raises the eyes

Light is in our minds, but you do not dare to see it

For fear of enlightening

Your false illusion of certainty

You stand apart from your fellow men, seeing them

As enemies to eliminate

Ignorance, basis of all your fears

Those leading to violence against others

Has made you believe in lies for centuries

And refuse evidence of reality

Disease that has spread faster than plague

Pandemic for which there is no cure but death
