Books in Cave Nooks







Books in Cave Nooks

 

In the cave of ignorance lives impulse

That suckles the darkness with sleep.

 

Fearing any fire that hath cast shadows

Or stories against the epistemic cavern walls

That speak no language and follow no thought

Since Ignorance keeps company with the formless.

 

What they can fear is what they can see.

 

The child, that spoke without sense

And who was casted out to the unknown,

Reappeared at the myopic opening

From where nothing is understood.

Because all things are the same

and never change.

 

From old knowledge - forms are being re-collected.

And now, one word doubles into two words

And then, two words become four

And four words become eight -

And soon the cave dwellers

Claim a mother tongue.

 

Back deep in the cavern’s shrine of the ancient

It is soon written that holds:

 

No sentient

Shall keep words

Forever from books retracted

Unless mandated

By the digital wiki gods

Who reign over the cave of the redacted.
