Analysis of Facts or Fantasy
There is nothing that can be traced; steps
were made, but when, and what was the reason?
Nobody knows. The causes, they perhaps
have been altered by the blunt mind's treason
that randomly stacks, lavishly seasons.
No certainty exists and wrongly we rely
on memory. What's in front of the eye?
We add colors to all things we look at.
All facts keep shifting; there is black nor white.
Nothing stays clear of what we caused or met.
