Ifs and Buts

If all the ifs and buts were laid
end to end round the world, I have
been told by a knowledgeable
scientist, they would circumnavigate
at least once or twice or three times.
Uncertain this statement is but it goes
to show if anyone did know for
certain, would it matter.
Procrastination picks its wasteful
effect through our lives, steals 
moments which would be decisive.
But what causes this uncertainty,
anxiety and being afraid to go for it.
If we only knew.
