it’s not the
greater truth we’re
looking for

nor the
answers,
nor the
way

we search only for
a reason,
a meaning for
our lives

for some it comes
as women,
or drugs,
or work,
or
play

for others they dedicate
their time to causes
against injustice
or for their god

and still others
stumble along
listening to music
and writing down their
thoughts

not content with
their limited knowledge
they agree with themselves
that not knowing is the best
answer and stride ahead
despite the pack
not worried in the least
what might await
them
