Incomplete Like Gödel

Based off my interpretation of a thing called Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem

In the gap between proof and truth
Lies [a set within a set within a set
        within a set within THE set of
        ALL sets within a set within a set]
So for this next statement to be true
The previous statement indeed must be false
And maybe every even number
is indeed the sum of two primes
But you will never show me
And I will never show you
Each and every time

Wow, this is great! I really like the theme, pointing out that there is a difference between a subjective and objective truth, eventually challenging the existence of words and numbers - things that we are so certain that exist. Or maybe it's just my interpretation. Either way, nice job :)

I would call that a good interpretation. Look up a thing called "Gödel's Challenge" or "Gödel's Incompleteness theorem" if you want a more detailed take on this. Thanks for your review man.

There are some many truths in the world and as many falsehoods

Science is truth and everything else comes in as opinion or delusion.

There is a madness to this write that is vast and complex: my opinion,
which, to another, holds no truth.

I feel your imagination in this one.

Keep Pushing!

"There is a madness to this write that is vast and complex" ha... are you calling me crazy? Just kidding, I know you meant. I think. It's possible I'm wrong about that because I might be crazy.


Thanks for the review, I'll try and return the favor in the near future.

How interesting. I am completely bewildered. And more than a little confused. But you definitely gave me something to think about, a Rubix cube of a poem. Hopefully, I'll wrap my head around it at some point.

Thanks, i'm glad I could pique your interest. The crux of it is that they're are mathematical problems that don't have solutions that exist out there. While verbal paradox's are fine we don't expect there to be numerical one's but they're seem to be quite a few of them. The fact that these two following statements are impossible but you can still understand the meaning of their concept is a really good verbal example of this concept--- "the following statement is true... the previous statement is false"... or try and imagine a world where 1 + 1 = 5 is true and 1 + 1 = 2 is false.... the fact that we can't truly imagine that world existing is not objective proof that those worlds don't in fact somewhere exist.
