Tularemia

designed,

this is the universe

of foibles

the comedy of errors,

the literati would call it

is it designed or does it appear so?

the holy books say one thing

and the scientists say another

the atheists claim "god did it" as

an excuse to say all in all caps is

naturalistic for better or worse

the theists claim "god did it" as

the answer to say all in all caps

is mechanical, functional, beautiful

is "god did it" an excuse or an answer?

is investigation by scientific means

completely limitless or completely involved?

does the naturalistic atheist chase rabbits?

does the super-naturalistic theist eat rabbit stew?

do both of them run the risk of being brain-fried

by intellectual tularemia?

seems like the absurd is 

staring back at the beings

staring into the void

the void states, declare it an axiom

the beings state, how does that work?

back and forth they converse,

it just does...

how so?...

it's how it is...

I don't know...

how do you not know?...

I just don't...

are you sure?...

yes...

how do you know?...

I just do...

so the answer is...

unknown...

just like that...

just like that...

and the conversation ceases

and the shadows populate the cave wall

they are designed but not in

this universe of foibles,

this comedy of errors

and the beings realize Sisyphus

is pushing the boulder anyway

despite knowing the void itself

is a rabbit hole

just like the cave itself is a rabbit hole,

the void is just an extension of it

and the reader looks up from the piece

all slack-jawed and perplexed

the mind clearly tied into Gordian knots

as it tried to chase the rabbit tails down

the rabbit trails

absurdist tularemia abounds

I do understand this poem.
"the mind clearly tied into Gordian knots
as it tried to chase the rabbit tails down
the rabbit trails"
Most of us are chasing the unknown and don't know why. You awoke the reader with strong statements and true logic. Thank you Kenneth for sharing the excellent poetry.
