The All

From one line 
to the next
it's all a mess
can't forget the past
running after the rest

Cradle your mind
in one forbidding kind
angle your sight
throughout the night

Savor all the knowledge
from the wise and frail
decide not
only wonder

if the all is the all after all

Undoubted freight is always there
care not if they stare
why waste life on unity
when knowing yourself is liberty.
