Sulu, Lock Phasers and Await My Command 2

(Spock) Captain, sensors indicate a power surge Resonating through their ship's body I'm sure I don't have to remind you They have their own Scotty (the questioning me) But where has faith brought us? As I look around I see A species not asking any questions About the infinite possibilities (the faith-based me) But that's why it's called faith Trusting in what you cannot see All things can be yours If you will just........ believe.... (the questioning me) I hear what you're saying Catchy slogans always dazzle me But once people think they're right Then there's only eternal stagnancy (Spock) And Captain don't forget our mission The beauty of opening new doors To go to those forbidden places Where no man has gone before With the sadness of lost friendship And as I look into my own eyes The damage of my faith-based fears Struggling as I say the word, "Fire" Photons rip through the hull Of this Enterprise of faith And the exaggerated look of horror Spreads across both of our face And now I consider the wreckage Of a species void of curiosity Silently content to be powerless And stare mindlessly at a TV And I wonder if all new awareness Must first go through this stage As we learn that asking questions Is not indicative to faith Captain's Personal Log, There is a sadness that comes from destroying the part of me that wants so desperately to believe in something. Yet I have found this faith always leads to a limitation of consciousness, a stagnancy of awareness that leads to a retraction of my identity, and ultimately to the most unbearable unhappiness. But now I wish to stop looking to what others want me to believe, and to look to myself. No fear of the judgments I was taught as a child. No fear of abandoning always what someone else always told me. The thrill of the stars is calling me, and I want to go where no man........ has gone before...........
