I sought diligently
to find life's meaning
so I lit truth's candle
and with rays beaming
held high in my hand
this instrument of light
to shine through the darkness
of disbelief's night.
When finally I found
the great "answer book"
and opened the front cover
to at last have a look
the hot melting wax fell
and burned my hand
causing me to drop the candle
and in darkness stand.
Is it better that I
stay in the darkness
to be spared the pain
or light truth's candle
and be burned again ?
