Too Much Wisdom

Some wise men say

the world is an illusion whose trappings we just cannot overcome

Some wise men say

that God’s no longer with us and love is all that’s going to save us now

Some wise men say

that we are all born wicked and should repent before the Kingdom comes

Some wise men say

that we should heed the smartest to give us guidance how to live our lives

Some wise men say

we should be meek and listen, and walk what mores commend as a good path

Some wise men say

we only have a few years to make our mark before our time runs out

Some wise men say

that luck is what we make it, while others swear that fate decides our lot

Some wise men say

it’s better to be different, while others wish that we were all alike

Enough of wise men telling me what’s better, I’m dizzy from this endless runaround

If y’all decided what should be my purpose, why do I bother lingering about?
