I Bet

What am I here for? a speck of flesh in a vast nothingness! What living accomplishes? It doesn't make sense to me.

I find myself on the same road

that I left behind, I thought I left behind

is it a circle, the circle of life

we must die to be reborn

kill to live, live to kill

eat to starve, starve to eat

the shun desire rises again

fulfill!

many pleasures

fulfillment of not having any

bliss is a dream

dreamer! are you?

in my mind in my soul

my body is sold

to the world

the world isn’t fair

fair who cares?

they do, they make up all those things

the god, religion, temple & hope

the false hope

out of fear

they live a lie

the rich are wretched

pour wine for the poor

the fight against time

out of time!

the rules are set

you won’t fall too far from the obvious

I bet
