Understanding Life’s Mystery

By: Andrew “Self” Kipp

 

            Another excuse for dragging your petty ideals into an unappreciating world

            Clearing your name of your self inflicted sins and pains

            Creating a prison to lock your emotions in to avoid an unnecessary wound

            Elevating all tensions to misconstrue your beliefs you abandon so readily

            Preaching what you’ve failed to a generation that only cares about material possessions

            Triumph of the few gifted and leaving the rest to rot in the mud

            Abiding laws only when observed and stabbing reason in the back when disclosed

            Noting all the world’s sufferings but being to lazy to reach out and help

            Clambering towards the gates of salvation dragging your friends away to save yourself

            Ending your life in an inconceivable way to relieve yourself of guilt

What is the solution to Life’s Mysteries?
