to an unknown god.

To an unknown god - 

Mankind orders itself in a hierarchy of thought. 

Governments of our own design. 

Place an order of power, or at least assumed power through which everyone views the system itself.


In our hierarchy of ordering

A destruction of mans ordeals floods the system

And it reveals a preference for the soul to be lost to the system itself.

Where the unknownness becomes the entity of belief

We ascribe everything to this.

A belief we ascribe everything to.

Every feeling or thought begins to desecrate upon this reality

And the thing we view at the pinnacle of the hierarchy begins to shift 


For the philosopher it is the unknown of why.

For the scientist it is the unknown of HOW.

For the cynic, it is the unknown of when.


Yet, for all. 

It is the unknown of itself. 

What if our values set something to be at the top

Without our knowledge

A thing of which we view as supreme

A thing that is all-knowing

And lacks nothing we have.

A thing, perhaps

That is described fully by the word - god.


It seems at the top of our hierarchies

Sits the unknown god

Where we ascribe our unknowns

As we search for the pinnacle

The olympus of reality 

Is the unknown god simply the most real

The god to which knows all

But is beyond our reach?

If we are meant to discover

We will discover

But it seems the unknown god

Is above the pinnacle to which

Somewhere we can’t reach.


A place where.

Nothing is.

Except everything we cannot touch.

And so to the unknown god

We lift a toast

And tell you

That I know you are the one who created me.

And everyone else upon this rock


A rock that hurtles through space without flinging any soul through the universe

Where we sit and we speak

Of life and love

To you I say i know who you are

I wish only for everyone else to know who the unknown god is.
