Symbols

The promises of snakes lead men astray
breaking old fences they shouldn’t have dared
To look beyond whence these old symbols came
by ancients yore might be disbarred profane
To question is man’s right but to know might not,
signs meaningless accumulate power
over scales of time comprehension beyond
To what you arrive once you deconstruct
depths unknown to man’s folly distill down
Man’s curiosity, his greatest gift,
must be tempered with a sense of the sublime
imagination that mankind’s dreamt up
