Lifes Mysteries

Look here, John, I did a thorough research
Inside, outside, up, down and all around
Facts, fables, hearsays and temple or church 
Eager to know where mysteries abound
Stranger-than-fiction true and credible,

Mine and yours: life, death, God and the devil 
Yet to grasp; to relate, impossible
Sages, prophets, saints – stringent or civil,
Torah or Bible, Koran or Gita
Eager to explain the meaning of soul
Rationalizing life's unique vista,
I believe life is beyond our control,
Easier it's to take life as it is
Sans all the mayhem and the mysteries.
