Everything is smoke,

a chasing after the wind.

Everyone has gone astray

and no longer knows true meaning.

Every heartfelt repentance is shattered

by new sin.

Every leap of faith is rewarded

by a glimpse of the mountain,

bigger than one can climb.

Where is true wisdom? What is the purpose of the mountain

if not to climb?

Everything in the world is a means to an end

so how do I live when the end is predetermined?
