The Modernist
Poetry is the highest form of
everything.
How could one understand the world any other way?
Only poetry.
Religion?
What nonsense.
While, I have respect for the spiritual
and even the mystical in this world,
look around!
and see nothing.
Nothing except
tears and blood
Surely you can see
that there is nothing to see.
Nothing is at hand.
Nothing is to come.
Fine, not religion
but science is supreme you say?
My friend,
Not everything can be reduced to:
Data
facts
hypothesis
trends
studies
cases
statistics
analysis
knowledge.
Poetry is supreme.
Knowledge is endless.
It lives in a realm that data
and statistics fail to encapsulate.
Imagination by definition is endless.
Science cannot study the imagination with
data, facts, and analysis
that eventually stop.
Poetry,
the only form that can present the endless.
