I Can't Shake The Feeling

by Anne Engelen

I’ve spent hours trying to figure out

What’s wrong with this world?

What’s wrong with me?

What’s wrong with everyone?

What’s wrong with what I see?

I’ve tried to explain it in my mind

Looked for the answers I couldn’t find

Friends told me it’s not for me to understand

It’s beyond human comprehension

It’s in God’s hand

They shrug and go on

Why does that feel wrong?

I can’t shake the feeling of being part of it all

Which makes me co-responsible (for the ultimate fall)

Maybe it’s a burden one shouldn’t take on

But if no one does when will this craziness be done?

I can’t shake the thought of what if

each one of us would take on a little blame

and would try to right what’s wrong in their own little world

The overall outcome “OUR” world wouldn’t be the same

Your perception is uncanny, your words delicious. Nice work kid. Peace...

Succesive generations have pondered over these questions, physicists, psychologists, historians etc. And the greatest minds have come up with some answers, by being able to step outside and look objectively at "our" existence. It is not abnormal to have such feelings, just imagine if Newton, Einstein, Galileo, pythagorus, freud etc... had not considered a problem everyone else thought was indecipherable. The fundamental questions are the most difficult to understand, yet the most important to our identity. For me, considering the problem, even without finding an answer is so much more important than living in a reality dominated by superficiality.
