On a Quest

On a quest for peace of mind
Searching for light, truth and existence
Beyond gravity, space and time
Nothing is guaranteed.

On a quest for love 
Searching for trust, friendship and honesty
Beyond human hearts, mind and soul
Nothing is guaranteed.

On a quest for greatness
Searching for power, control and mastery
In solitude and in public
Nothing is guaranteed.

On a quest to oppress the poor
Killing and marginalizing the weak
Through politics and leadership
Death is guaranteed and inescapable.
