Signs and Wonders Speak for Themselves

Make a fiction, sacralize
It as fact. Persuade people

To accept your fact as fact.
Make acceptance rewarding

As well as hazardous. There.
You’ve made your own religion.

There must be unique fiction
And effort to believing.

There’s nothing sacred to it
If it’s demonstrably fact,

Or just seems quite obvious.
Belief needs work, social risk,

And some promise of reward
That scales up with commitment.

Why are we saying this? Prey
Need to detect predators.

Predators need to detect
Prey. Together they create

Wonderful worlds of sensed things.
Think of all the molecules

Invented as byproducts.
May we tell you about us?
