“X, Y and Z.”
Here we are — trapped, in a life full of
Multiple dimensions and variables,
X, Y and Z.
We humans look upwards, forwards, backwards,
All around, to fill these spaces.
We humans who believe in “good” and “light”
Hope that the faces
On our biographies
And on our graves
Read the letters L-O-V-E.
Then we ask, what are the ingredients to the things
We call Love and Greatness
And Happiness?
The “wise” men of our time would merely say,
“X equals love, Y equals greatness and Z equals happiness.”
As if…
As if it seems so simple.
But even then we still don’t know the fit.
We can’t solve the equation named
Life.
So many decide…to quit.
And the few that are chasing after answers are asking,
“What could it be?”
The Truth…don’t you see?
It eludes us, taunting fox that it is
Secretly wishing to be found
But in this hunt the thrill becomes
Not enough and we come to
Hate the sound, of those
Letters, variables and dimensions
Called X, Y and Z.
