Infinity

Infinity is God as numbers are us,
Infinity is in the mind, is in the heart, is in the spirit.
Infinity sets us apart from mere animals.

Where comest this idea?
How can we even think up of such a thing?
Have we seen it act?
Have we counted its effect?
Nay, it’s all in the mind.
We can think of it, but as for senses,
To observe, we are powerless.

And yet we know it is true,
For our reasoning fits it well,
And without it, we would never be where we are.

Through infinity, we can think of perfection!
Through infinity, discretes become a whole!
Through infinity, we foresee causalities!
Through infinity, faith breaths anew everyday.

For if we are to think just in numbers,
We see only numbers.
If our life is ultimately numbered,
What is there to gain, for futile in the end.

Materialism is numbers.
Existentialism is numbers.
Hedonism is numbers.
Shortsightedness is in numbers.

For infinity is proof of God.
