Linus Pauling

Embrace uncertainty
Living in timeplace where you are
Degree of the certainty 
Isn’t that far

Now you perceive world around you
Out of Plato’s cave 
Don’t let these bound you
Stop being slave 

But neither become master 
However you may object
This isn’t a huge disaster
People have right to reject

Integrable systems suggest
Health is about digest
Electrical engineering 
Resistance to change protest 

What is this circuit that makes
Life of the people so bound 
Sense and point awakes 
Each day is another round 

Each person has own feelings
They can’t feel the emptiness
These are orange peelings
Orange gifts us happiness
