MYSTICISM
1. From molecules came life and love:
More wonderful than the stars above!
2. Knowledge of a star’s essence
Need not rob us of a mystic sense.
3. Ecstasy is the orgasmic joy
That mystics get with the cosmic toy.
4. Reason brings to mind lots of light.
Mystic merger brings delight.
5. Though muddled minds make mistakes
Not all mystics are simply fakes,
6. Science’s truths can be bared.
But the mystic’s joy can’t be shared.
7. Mystics do some truths proclaim.
But the truths of mystics are not all the same.
8. Science without a mystic feeling
Is ike medicine without much healing.
9. Mystic feeling is like a passing greeting:
Deep-felt, but it’s all too fleeting.
10. Mystic joy without God or creed
Is like morality without laws, indeed.
