What We Can

What We Can
1/19/11

Such paradox, this life,
with it's omnipresent 'isness'
which defies humanity's categorization
of it being 'timeline'
filled by incrementally flowing
calculable past, present, future,
bearing malleable, controllable nature
where circumstances are adjusted
along a great range
until finally, 'no more',
unable to adapt further,
challenging any egotistical notion
that 'mankind' is omnipotently
at 'top of heap'
answering to no one,
while controlling 'God' entity
depicted in human terms,
really we're 'bit players'
in great theatrical 'Existence'
doing what we can.
