The Science of Cake
_**Science is a great enemy
That I have to fight every day.
Though with age I become wiser,
Science grows stronger anyway.**_
_**Mysteries get demystified,
Chaos is then categorized.
Anything that was once by chance
Awesome is now simply downsized**_
_**Into the rational and logical---
Two things that one can't live without---
Yet when the mystery is gone,
There'd be nothing to think about!**_
_**Wonder, awe---bliss in confusion---
I'd rather just admire stuff
Than spending my entire life
Studying everything! Enough!**_
_**The day that I suffered the most
Was when I argued with science.
Standing up for God, love, and dreams
Was my mission, yet I grew tense.**_
_**"How can you be so straightforward?"
I said, "You live within a box!
If God needs to be proven then
So do dreams and love!" He talks**_
_**Of the need for provable facts,
"We must have solid evidence!
How can you deny such logic?
How can you deny my science?**_
_**I believe love is---simply put---
Just a chemical reaction.
Dreams come from rapid-eye-movement
Within the brain. It's not fiction!**_
_**And God, well, where the hell is He?
Can't you see that He is not here?
Nothing solid---no facts nor truth-
You have on Him! Goodbye, my dear!"**_
_**Ever since then have I felt lost,
Nothing I pondered on felt sweet.
Is that all love had really been?
Have my dreams just met their defeat?**_
_**Has my God given up on me?
Praying to Him gets no answers.
This didn't feel right---nothing did!
Does this mean I was never her's?**_
_**"Just a chemical reaction."
Said that smart, science-crazed lab rat
That's all love really is? Were my
Feelings for that vixen just that?**_
_**What once ruled my primal nature
Was a chemical reaction,
And nothing more! That's all love is?!
That is the case! It's not fiction!**_
_**How can something that feels so strong
Come from something that's so little?
Something that small couldn't be great.
Love is not real! It's no riddle!**_
_**Makes me sad, realizing it's
Just a chemical reaction.
So then everybody was wrong!
Love is not real---it is fiction!**_
_**All this talk about how love's real
Came from the uninformed masses.
No longer will believe them
Since my knowledge now surpasses.**_
_**No longer will memories of
Her warm fur tame my heavy heart.
What once was had never been---no
Longer will it tear me apart.**_
_**Though I miss those old feelings of
Believing I was in love, I
Know better now; they were all wrong.
The cake they serve me is a lie!**_

This was inspired by a conversation I had with an atheist a few weeks ago that left me feeling pretty down.
