Search For Reason

Struggling, we cry our way into this world

to blinding lights and blistering noise

giants embrace the desperate newcomer furled

and for the briefest moment, there's a choice

Spinning, fallen, we're trapped and observed

if anything it means there's something not said

Treated with caution, our life is preserved

as we lay tenderly numb, tucked in our bed

Time goes by, a month in every second

the splendor, the rush, the misteries around

the vastness of it, all of which we reckon

yet for some reason, are we inevitably bound?

As the wind goes steady we learn

there's much to see, feel, and say

another instance everywhere we turn

a different path to every way

Equal isn't same

right is not correct

a name does not give fame

hope, but don't expect

Suddenly comes the realization at last

and stays with us, every day and every season

as we come to learn more about our past

we come to face a search for reason

We look around and find the answer

as everyone claim to know what should be done

but doubt stays within tightly like a cancer

and we can't hide from it nor can we run

Life isn't quite that complicated

purpose itself is repeated everywhere

demanding obedience, gets us intoxicated

and some learn to fear it and to beware

We came here though we didn't mean to

to a world filled up with joys and treason

we strive unknowingly to make it through

in a neverending quest, in search for reason.
