The Truth

We ask for the truth,
 but it's masked by
 televised ordeals of everything else 
we are not fortune tellers 
we don't know what the future holds 
so we sit and wait 
day after day for a sign 
that may never come
 neither psychics, fortune tellers 
or tarot card readers know 
what awaits our fate 
carpe Diem seize the day
 live for today 
because tomorrow may never come
