Who's To Say

one lonely soul
and entire world's stress
how Hell be different

one lonely heart
temptation abounds
how to earn salvation

one lonely mind
and wealth of knowledge
what’s the purpose of life

many questions
scriptures and sages
who is there to answer

love, hope, wisdom
truth, trust, fate or faith
what would salvage my soul
