Boxes by Ronald A PavellasLook there,
There, at all that spontaneous spirituality;
There, at all that religion,
Free-flowing from the people.
Let's...Get...This...Box...Around...It...All...And...Call...It...
THE ONE AND ONLY HOLY HOUSE OF WORSHIP!
Look there,
There, at all that spontaneous love;
There, at all that untrammeled feeling,
Free-flowing from those lovers.
Let's...Get...This...Box...Around...It...All...And...Call...It...
THE SACRED INSTITUTION OF MARRIAGE!
Look there,
There, at all that spontaneous fun;
There, at all that curiosity,
Free-flowing from our children.
Let's...Get...This...Box...Around...It...All...And...Call...It...
THE UNIVERSITY OF ALL THOUGHT AND KNOWLEDGE!
Look there,
There, at all that beauty;
There, at all of nature's glories,
Free-flowing from the mountains and seas.
Let's...Get...This...Box...Around...It...All...And...Call...It...
THE MUSEUM OF ALL NATURAL HISTORY!
Look there,
There, at all that creative expression;
There, at all that wonderful invention,
Free-flowing from Man's use of nature's gifts.
Let's...Get...This...Box...Around...It...All...And...Call...It...
THE INSTITUTE OF ARTISTIC EXPRESSION!
These are good and righteous boxes,
My brothers and sisters.
Let us control them, nurture them
And dedicate them to:
MAN'S UNDERSTANDING OF,
AND DOMINION OVER,
THE UNIVERSE.
IT IS WRITTEN,THEREFORE,
ONLY THE ENLIGHTENED MAY DETERMINE
THE SHAPE, SIZE AND CONTENT OF THESE BOXES!
We bear in mind that anything NOT in these boxes
Is DANGEROUS!
We must, therefore, assure that
As the generations of man unfold:
WE MUST ELIMINATE ALL THINGS
NOT IN THESE BOXES.
With these words we do now humbly commit
ourselves and our posterity to the sublime
and continuous development of:
MAN, THE MANAGER OF THE UNIVERSE.
