we all have to give up our dream of becoming an astronaut sooner or later

remember what you mother always told you. find safety in reason. society cut out your heart and gave you meaning. shotgun shells took the place of the cross around your neck years ago. fists raised in the form of grenades. addicted to placing a tangible handle on everything your eyes could not explain. paper money. steel coins. economy. science. wallstreet. debate. anything to give you the upper hand. relieving the sting of the unexplainable. your words never defined truth. true love wasn't born from intellectual strategies. time spent pouring over empty pages that will never bring redemption. will you wait for silence and mercy to bring you home?
