Clear

I sat alone, thinking
Of what life would be like
If everything was sane,
Understandable.

Would we all do the right thing
Or would we still make mistakes?
Would we all still repeat
The mistakes of the past?

Would people be perfect?
I sit here and wonder.
What would come about
Because of a lack of confusion?

Would we all be happy?
Would unhappiness be destroyed?
Questions appear by the second
None of them answered

Unprovable theorems,
Unsound logic
Against the way the world works
Why even think about it?

Another place, another time
Another dimension
A place of clearness
Where everyone is straightfoward...

Is that an ideal world?
Or would that be a flaw?
What would it be like
In such a world?

I sit here, alone,
Thinking, wondering,
Wishing I could --
Whishing I would find an answer.
