Oh chemicals
Made to regulate our lives
Where they concentrate we strive
Where they dissipate we fade

So beautiful
Landing after all these years
Facing, for the first, our fears
Watching as they disappear

I’m passionate
Not a desperate cry for help
Not a vicious rebel yelp
Scientist and troubadour

I’m dizzy with
Knowledge of the way to live
Filled with love and happiness
Ease with which I earned this kiss

A humanist
Spiritual without a God
Grateful for what truth has brought:
We are who control our thoughts
