Unknown Variables




One thing I know is I don’t know a thing
Due to my cultural biases
And lack of infinite knowledge.
Fox News doesn’t help either,
Nor, to be fair, does anything on TV,
With it being mostly concerned
About the redistribution of my pittance of wealth
In their direction.
Some used to say science is the answer
But it is only speculation based on observation,
Subject to future unknown variables.
I could turn to various sacred texts
Where, with diligent application,
I can make them mean anything.
My lifelong pursuit of truth
Has led me in the wrong direction.
Truth finds me if I am open to it.
If I hold it with pride and attempt to show it off
It doesn’t have to abandon me
As I have already lost it.
