Musings of a Messed Up Mind - 31. And The Answer Is Nothing
I walk in the world, a pretender, a lonely visitor
I don't know the path and there is no map
There is no place to stop to ask for directions
I watch the world around me and despair
People don't see outside, their universe is inward
It easier to ignore the downtrodden, to close our eyes
Our houses are crammed with baubles
Shiny toys that blind us to what is right in front of us
And we scamper on whirling wheels
Like hamsters ignorant of life's meaning
I am one - and there's no reason or rhyme
Ours is to race to the end; to the finality of death
Desperately I search my cage for a map
Seeking the reasons for my incarceration
But i am terrified to take that step
Afraid of what i think life really means.
