Cosmic Horse Race
WHERE DID I COME FROM AND WHY AM I HERE?
WHERE AM I GOING? WHY IS IT UNCLEAR?
IS THERE ONE WITH ANSWERS LISTENING TO PRAYERS?
AM I SIMPLY HERE FOR AN UNSEEN SOMEWHERE?
IS LIFE JUST A GYM WHERE I SIIMPLY WORKOUT
SWEATING AND GRUNTING AND HIKING ABOUT
DOING BI'S AND TRI'S AND THIGHS TILL I'M BEAT
GETTING A SICK PACK AND THEN I'M COMPLETE?
WELL, I AM FAMILIAR WITH MONSIEUR DESCARTES
PASCAL AND ROUSSEAU, SHAKESPEARE AND SARTRE
I'M ONE WITH BUDDAH, WITH YIN AND WITH YANG
GOT FAITH IN JESUS, ALLAH AND THE GANG
IS LIFE JUST A HORSE RACE, BEST TO BET WIN OR LOSE
AND FAITH THE WINNER IN THE GOD THAT YOU CHOOSE?
IT'S ALL PREPARATION, A NOBLE PURSUIT?
AND HEAVEN OR HELL, THE REWARD, WHAT A HOOT.
