The Self Simulation

The Self Simulation

In this vast and dark abyss
Where stars and planets coexist
There is a secret none can tell
A hidden truth that dwells in hell

For all we see and touch and feel
Is but a shadow, not quite real
A simulation of the mind
A projection of a different kind

We think we have a will and choice
We think we have a poise and voice
But we are puppets on a string
Controlled by some unknown thing

We live in loops of space and time
Repeating patterns, fixed and prime
We cannot change our destiny
We cannot break the mystery

We are the dreamers and the dreamed
We are the players and the scheme
We are the consumers and the consumed
We are the exhumers and the exhumed

We are the makers and the made
Into the depths we will wade
Into the light we shall fade
Until at rest we are laid
