Veritas

All the world’s wisdom
                           is contained in scriptures,
All music’s based
                           on seven basic notes!
And Mozart, too,
                           heard as the vernal leafage
Cuts through the stalks
                           and joyfully explodes.
And how many letters
                                      are
                                          in there? –
Because the world
                          speaks so many tongues.
There are more notes
                          than we are aware
Creating “Requiem”
                                      and sacred chants.
The Universe benchmarks
                         are strict and clear:
There’s birth – and death.
                        (And life is but a flash!)
There is th(e) drive,
                the immortality,
                              the Spirit.
The Light. The Dark.
                         The Doomsday’s gloom and ash.
The struggle of fundamentals
                         will abide.
The Word will heal the world
                         and reign worldwide.
