about

A poem about ‘Battlestar Galactica’ and the meaning of life.

lyrics

To know the face of God
is to know madness,
said one little God
to another.
But what is God,
really?
Do you find it in the space
between life and death?
Does it all really mean more
because of death,
and that tiny space?
What does it mean to breathe;
to inhale these
ephemeral experiences
that continue to add to one another,
through the process of choice,
until they add up to a life?
What is right and wrong
if everything is determined,
or undetermined,
by simply going right or left?
But is choice an illusion,
one little God spoke softly,
if this has happened before
and it will happen again?
