On a banal day born, with a fistful of whys
A legacy of a myriad years
Where is that truth amidst many lies
Which challenges my faith and my fears!

Who hides the truth in lies’ facade
And lies in truth’s deceptive guise
Both play with my mind dumb charade
No one gives up, none’s myth ever dies!

Life is a mystique of all kinds
Enigma of an endless age
There is no man who ever finds
Truth, at the end, of this pilgrimage!

I ain’t the first, nor am I last
In this, very painful, very vain quest
I may not last and become past
Will Never Die This Truth’s Conquest!
