Potter's Theorem:

Am i human
or simply characters in a text
if so which book am i
the bible or the lexicon
do the eyes that scan me complete me
am i contingent of a loving god
or does he play with me for his joy
if you read on will i die
do the lives of others depend on
how i'm phrased
will words transform into bullets
will prophets shake the earth
and transport the minds of men
throughout the ages
do i have a meaning
does the gamut of my knowledge
hide some internal structure
will i bring about peace
or the end of civilization
if so should i care?
