Perhaps Everything

I have not the will
If not for anything perhaps everything
Life if there is the real
Can I but ask for one more a dream?

When so little can mean so much
When so much is to mean nothing at all
Life to forever be judged as such
Might death be a relief to applaud?

To have words yet unwise
To have time yet unspent
Humanities to be made for lies
Where did my moments went?

I have truths to belong my own
Yet of lies to speak a better of in truth
Have I a stranger in me unknown?
Yet to have somehow a society a better proof

If life is real
I do not have to dream
Have I the will?
If not for anything perhaps everything
