Analysis of The Infallible
The Infallible sits, it waits, it thinks
the infallible thinks, it waits, it sits
the infallible declares it is Infallible
but what if the Infallible is fallible?
what if the fallible started from the
opposite side than the Infallible
and now declares itself Infallible --
by right of it's 'holy' decree -- It is
whatsoever it declares that it Is --
an imperfect outreach straining for Heaven
having reached an equilibrium of thought
unto itself and all it deems and thinks
is correct - declares to the World that
it has reached heaven ... and you can too
if only you reach out with your Mind
just as they will describe it and declare --
it to you, for you. For you are the servant
now to the great and mighty -- Infallible.
