Confused

I am more than a menace to society There’s a twist in my sobriety Please help me sculpt my destiny Help me return to incorruptibility Why do I believe Google not your holy book? Why do I trust the teacher not the parent? Why do I have faith in the label not the quality? Why do I confide in counselors not my spouse? Strangers become closer than siblings Democracy daunts more than dictatorship Price becomes more important than value Which God do I praise and worship? Who is the custodian of my conscience? Who is the guardian of my scruples? Who is the protector of my principles? Who is the curator of my values and visions? What if all that I know turned out false? What if we were wrong about everything? What if we weren’t who we thought we were? What if infinity and zero were vice versa?

My senses in totality are in awe of your wonderful lines. Liquefied bliss from the boil of glorious words has brought out enchanting aroma beyond scaling. 7 is simply an underscore for this fine share.
