Inside The Mirage


Is the distinction between

science and philosophy

nothing but

 illusion

Affirming what it wouldst 

certainly and firmly most deny

Proponents of formulaic truth

require a defense against critique

judgment unrelenting

as their proof is self-inured 

Science thus infallible

because its findings are collective

Their community not disposed

to answer

questions they will

— never ask
