The Good Fight

Into the bowels of my being I go,?searching for who I am.

Far out into the? Universe? I search,
as far?as the eye can see.

So many questions? I have,
but true answers?a rare commodity.

Frustrations mount,?as I search, and? search and search.

Road blocks abound?as others ?hold up their arms,?defiantly saying no.

Seems insane I think?delving?into infinity? with?the brain power? entrusted to me.

Is it simply better to?accept what I see,
to enjoy?that juicy steak?

Or,

should Don Quixote?like I be,?tilting my lance?toward ? my inner being,
while
defiantly?waving my sword?at infinity?

I depart now? for dinner?a fat and juicy steak.

But,
?I’ll be back, to once again
tilt my lance toward infinity.
