As Do You

There be a truth out there
A certainty we are never to know
Yet as humanities we do not share
Only with time we let it flow

And perhaps no truth there belongs
Have we to wonder simply that to be?
So much rules for a need to belong
Have we not gods when you believe to see?

Born to simply die
Did we teach ourselves enough?
Yet... born to simply ask why
When ourselves no longer do we even trust

Each to each so true
When its each to its own to fathom
An ultimacy only if you knew
Yet of humanities be made broken

Some truth out there
A certainty only we made it known
Yet as humanities we do not share
Is there time we simply let flow?
