Elements of the World, Lack of Understanding

Considered a thinker, betrayed by his tomes

A lack of genuine wisdom keeps him at bay

The state of mind that clusters him is bitter

And rarely allows for much to occur

Or for any progress to be made within his universe

To understand his place, his potentials

The world that he has no control over whatsoever

Seems to elude him in every aspect of life

The scanning of the word is the emptying of the head

The attempts to reach out is the affirmation of his monotony

And the hollow flow of language is somehow outside himself

He exists but does not understand why, and wishes to

But he simply doesn't feel able to comprehend,

or maybe even apply himself to understand and commit to memory

All this madness, the world offers it, urges us to strive

Some fight, some slide into contented nothingness

And we all end in the same way, with similar consequences

With little to show outside of a handful of overdue notices

Fight for happiness, die for love, live to rebel

And learn to absorb the limitlessness of our world

Maybe even do something with yourself

Promoting change

Hindering change

Lingering because of something outrageous

Extraordinary for all intensive purposes

Within the realms of society that are accepted,

or will be accepted within the next ten decades.
