I had been led by an invisible hand
Had the earth been divided
Two hands extended
Stone or steel
Us or them
Poison or noose
Axiom of choice
Fallacies given voice
(burn) pushing, (my) pulling, (heart) reaching - illusion of control
(burn) Weeping, (my) wailing, (heart) burning - words in a vacuum
It's laissez-faire
A facade left bare
An end in itself - to the end
An oracle on the head of a coin
I had been led by an invisible hand
Had the earth been divided
Two hands extended
Stone or steel
Us or them
Poison or noose
Miswired motives
Binary wisdom
Marginal utility
Absolute zero
I've lost ages to doctrine and dogma
Seeking transient goals, severing off branches of purpose
But in the end it's all so painfully finite
Squeezing from the grip of the invisible hand

Amazing maths going on here, friends! nthrainn
