I am he as you are me and we are in it together 
Whether we wish it or desire it here we are in life.
Somehow, we arrived here but many from strife
cannot say how they journeyed to this point,

what proof is there that satisfies the enquiring mind?
looking inward after years of neglect what we find
are the remnants of passed lives lived goodness knows
where or why – questions are quivering on our lips.

why don’t we just ask them and see where they stop,
be brave ask the questions that we are afraid to drop
but nonetheless we don’t want to hold onto either,
make our minds up where are we wanting to go?

the questions are such that we don’t want to know
the answers so we retreat into our shells say nothing
at a time when much needs to be said and said now,
in fear people switch on the TV, then switch off their minds.
