Life
truth or fiction
neither?
something in-between
but what does that mean?
still a lacuna
something not clearly seen
which we can only glean?

as none has the answer
why the quarrel or dispute then?
the wise they argue in vain
the foolish watch and are entertained
by words they don't understand

some speak of the Garden of Eden
others of Arcadia and the Land
of Ulysses. Yet more-- of Lilliput
Utopia, even the mention The Realm of Golden Strand

I didn't any school attend
(parents were too poor), so I'm ignorant
let others do the thinking and speaking
I'll stand aside to listen
as they endlessly fight and rant.
