Keep the Faith

Believe it or not
I walked on water
back in the day
when I was an acclaimed
bonafide miracle man

Just one of my many exploits
celebrated far and wide
as proof positive
of the power of faith
and infinite possibilities

Maybe you have heard
of my legend
passed down through generations
increasingly desperate
for any kind of inspiration

Of course
that was way before
science advised me
and my congregation
that my very existence
was a quantified impossibility

So the world plunged
into it's current abyss
of negative secular reality

Begetting a grim restless population
chafing at their assigned
slotted limitations

But no matter
how the skeptics
and naysayers
have chosen to dismiss me
I reside in the collective souls
of those who won't be opinion bullied

Far beyond the rigid controls
of empirical thought tyranny

They know what I used to be
and more importantly
all that I stood for
Impossible as it may seem today

Those who dare remember 
know my improbable truth 
before I was consigned
to the status of foolish myth

Faith is an equation
that can't be erased
or summarily dismissed
