Analysis of I WONDER PT 1



I WONDER...PT 1

I wonder...
...if the only absolute Truth
Is there is no absolute Truth
Is that absolutely True?
And if it is absolutely True
Then how can it be
If nothing is absolutely True?
And if it's not absolutely True,
Then perhaps there is an absolute Truth
Absolutely

I wonder...
...when God created the Universe
Was it Absolute or Relative?
Did He say, "Let there be Light!
Uh, or something"?
Did God command an absolute,
Or suggest a relatively?

I wonder...
...When God commanded Noah to build an Ark
Did Noah ponder this Truth? Wondering
Is this Absolute ? Or Relative
(Maybe it was Relative since his sons
Helped build it)

I wonder...
...If all this is relative
Is any Truth absolute?
Maybe gravity is relative
Maybe I can walk off my roof
Being relatively sure
I won't
F
a
l
l
!

I wonder...
...when the doctors patch me up
Which of my bones will be relatively broken,
And which will be absolutely broken?
AMEN
