Howl

if you weren't told about any divinity

if someone showed you our fallibilities

if you weren't told about the trinity

would you still know what in the world created all this

wouldn't you

like to figure out

what's pulling the strings

did you know about varying degrees of free will

compatible with senseless building blocks

did you know of adaptive or emergent properties

how a lump of grey is making you talk

now wouldn't you

like to figure out

what's making you howl

ill equipped to deal with infinities

never getting past the anthropic principles

ill equipped to deal with probabilities

can't help assigning intentions to all kinds of things

wouldn't you

like to figure out

what's pulling your strings

now we could still talk about moral responsibility

we could still talk about our common human goals

what leads to happiness what leads to suffering

what leads to exuberance and flourishing of the soul

but it would help

to figure out

what's making us howl
