Why is there so little agreement As to questions Which will anyway be left unanswered To which there’s no certainty And about which there will be nothing certain, ever? How could we know Will we ever come to know Something clear-cut About the existence of God? Which God? Whose God? What Bible What absolute, reference book For all our questions? Who created those and why? How could we actually know Anything certain? Why can’t we create new values? Who were those before us who did Create the values we’re guiding Ourselves after now? We’re swimming We’re floating in no direction We’ve lost all sense of orientation In a world where so many things are relative Wishing to touch upon land In an ocean of relativity Wishing to step on a little land Of absolute truth and certainty In order to have something stable Something clear-cut to hang on to Can anyone give me a template To distinguish right from wrong? What law, whose law On account of whose authority Do we actually judge the world Why have we not asked ourselves The question WHY? Why believe it because so we’re told? Who are those who judge Those who give their opinion On what we can achieve, Those telling us how we should live Those telling us what to believe? Can anyone tell me, Is it necessary that I die in order to live? Must I be dead in order to become your hero? ...To give my name to some dusty streets? ...To be in your rarely opened school books? ...To remember me by some forgotten brooks? ...To see the letters of my name when you read my writings Having no idea about my looks?
