Lost Voices

What versus why,
each millennium cries

Man on the run,
all truth in disguise

Modernity reels
from an ancient ideal

Until time the thief
—reveals

It is impossible to measure yesterday with today's ruler. Change is perpetual. Another great one Kurt:) Hoping you are well my friend.

Modernity searches for the 'what' while the 'why' questions are as old as man himself. The fundamental axioms of existence never change. What changes is our inflated opinion of ourselves and our denial of those fundamental truths. Thanks again for reading, Daniel. Kurt
