Don't! don't read any further, Please

Don’t

Don’t read any further

Stop

Stop reading I say

You don’t want to know

You really don’t

And yet you read

But why

Why do you read on?

Why can’t you just stop?

STOP! Stop reading, I beg!

I am sure you are NOT reading this

Alas, I am wrong

You still are reading!

What can I do to make you stop?

Make you give up, abandon

Move on as if you have not read

I say don’t but yet still you do

But you can’t help yourself, can you

Because it’s not really you

it's actually not even about you, really

Its the words seeking their whole

Semantic unity, they say

Half in your consciousness

The others in the lines below

Condemned to meaning

Its tyranny not a travesty

Memes says Dawkins with a glee

But it’s the mother of memes

The one who bore them

The eternal goddess

道 λόγος शब्द Word

Call what you may
She lives on forever

In and through you

And of course beyond you
Humans come, humans go
She lives on

Ancient of days

Creating, destroying, recreating

Forming, reforming, multiforming

Tower of Babel, mustn’t forget

Nor the Pentecost

Regaining regal power

In her being

The universe came to be

She lifted her voice

And the walls came tumbling

She has seen the beginning

And in her is the end

You and I

Her playmates in time

Must stop now

Can’t let her always...
