Complicated answers
Why do we fear what we don't know
why do we want to tell ourselves that the worlds spin is slow?
in a universe we cannot understand,
and where won't get our answers, even if we search every inch of land,
wouldn't the more complicated answer seem more realistic
such vast amounts of wonders, God is artistic
what's wrong with mystery, whats wrong with suspense
we could never reach the other side of the universe, even if we travelled the distance.
