Commander Data Considers God

Oft times I feel like Data In a demented quest to be human Navigating a matrix of confusing lairs Wondering where the dragons are loomin' Not knowing which way is up Is God just an elaborate escape? The human need for absolute certainty Possibly a short circuit in our brains My emotion chip activates Suddenly I have lost my way I feel the terror of possibilities And maybe I need to be saved The thoughts of being punished Simply because I don't understand Fills my network with despair That I ever wanted to become a man But I would bow in reverence To a just creator deity But perhaps my assimilation Would create an unhealthy dependency I can't imagine asking questions Offending a fatherly authority Surely the nature of God Is not as insecure as me
