Somewhere Life Is A Figment of Imagination

Black or White

I’ve been wandering for a long time now,
Through the walls surrounding my head,
Searching for some answers lying on my bed,
All these years of the life I’ve led, how,

Everybody laughs and all of us cry,
While most are bold, only some are shy?

While some have more and most have less,
Wondering if it is a curse or if it is a bless,

Someone is happy, everyone is sad,
While some are good, most are bad,

People are cruel, humans are kind,
But run you must, for not to be left far behind,

Only some win and most lose,
Some have no choice and some all to choose,

While few speak the truth, most always lie,
Some can’t differentiate the earth and the sky,

Some are ugly and some are so beautiful,
Some see it half empty and some half full,

Few hear and most don’t of what you say,
Some are just happy and someone just gay,

While some stay in cold sewer cellars,
Many become warm city dwellers,

Is there a dark day and a bright night?
Many have eyes but no sight,

Some have nothing to eat, many have apple pie,
For some to live, many have to die.

I guess human nature will continue to look for the answers to most of your wonderings ... if it was only easy to blame some other 'specie' as the originator of everthing that tends to have little sense ... but no ... sadly we are the ones that through history have paved the reality we now face.
