You want answers. <br />There are no answers. <br />You want some questions. <br />There are no questions now. <br />You want something, <br />There is nothing. <br />You want this. <br />There is that. <br />This and that, they do not <br />Always come together <br />And wanting this <br />You only get that. <br />See? See. <br />You want to live in peace <br />No there is no peace <br />War has always been with us <br />You know that, not this. <br />Oh yes, you want certainties. <br />You just want to be sure <br />What is in my hand <br />Tell me, and I will prove <br />You wrong, always, I want <br />To prove you wrong <br />About certainties, there is <br />Nothing certain. They just come <br />When they like coming <br />And they tell you <br />You dream, we give <br />What is best, it may not be what <br />You are dreaming, or we punish you <br />By giving what you want <br />You prayed so earnestly <br />Oh! These lords these gods <br />This fate this destiny <br />They always wait for you <br />Always hazy, and taken as <br />X, y, and z <br />You, it is you that assigns the values <br />And you can be wrong and even <br />Still be puzzled. <br /> <br />There is nothing certain. <br />So? <br />Well, take the doubts <br />They are the only things certain <br />Because they are real. <br />We live with them everyday. <br />They are mothers and fathers <br />And yes, they are gods.<br /><br />RIC S.
