THE THEORY


The theory is well "researched"
Translation (well funded)
The theory is backed by scientific "evidence" (propaganda)
The theory is "groundbreaking" (we have rehashed old ideas and taken credit
for them)
The theory is scientifically "proven" (we said so)
The theory is a "fact" (you can ask Galileo¹s ghost about facts)
A theory means we don¹t know
We can sniff, inject, smoke, it don¹t help
We¹ll never get there
We drive, sail, fly, we never arrive
We grab, grope, hold, but never touch
We build bigger microscopes, split atoms, but can¹t see it
It¹s everywhere
