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.
