How do I know?
What's truth today?
It changes each and every day!
One day they say
the meat is sweet
but then soon they tell
It's diseased! it kills! It kills!
Of one thing is certain
only this I know
Nothing is true,
Such a blow!
But yet! Oh no!
We cling to our "stats"
defend them as fact
fight for them as life
These thoughts, falsities rife,
are eyes, for without we do not see
Any "reality".
The sight gives peace, gives purpose,
makes life lively.
But is sight the curse?
the red death that convulses society?
Brings humanity to its knees?
Is it better to know nothing is true?
Or think "I am right"
Ignorance is bliss.
Knowledge is sorrow.
Ignorance breaks
Knowledge protects.
Rotting joy, Weeping health.
Which is better? Which is for you?
This is life. This is the choice.
Searching for better is moot.

Erm, may have to come back to this. I didn't get much further than 'insurmountability'. A word too big for me this time of the morning (in UK)! heehee.
