We navigate our lives
Desperately searching for unknown territory
Meandering lanes of treachery and deceit
Where wealth is prioritized and righteousness, the enemy
Health is secondary to life's pitiful pleasures
As uncertainty develops
Man's existence
We look, we wonder
We hope, we expect
Glossing the reality
We dare not admit
For fear of the truth
We refuse to accept
Our disastrous existence
Remains ours to decide!
