A Bit of Me

I can be an angel to fellow humans When they are sick, dying and suffering I organize humanitarian assistance to all Everyone believes I am a walking saint I wonder whether a bit of me is God! Worst things on earth I am capable of doing Twice and more I can be a tiger, a shark I care not when I lie and multiply sorrows Blood and tears of enemies amuse me and I laugh I wonder whether a bit of me is Satan! I am told when I die my soul will fly, fly, fly To the skies I will swim and float to the unknown Somewhere there I will live forever, happy or sad Like stars I will not come back to visit anyone here I wonder whether a bit of me is the cosmos! I search for correct answers about who I am I read holy books and kneel to pray all prayers The heavens I search with spaceship and telescopes But I discover more questions, not answers! I wonder whether a bit of me is foolishness! God-like, Satan-like, cosmic-like but with limitedness Who am I and what am I doing here in this obscure realm? I ask God to reveal me but He reveals other things, not me Thirsty and desperate, I search for my identity in vain! I wonder whether a bit of me is hopelessness!
