I can do naught but what I believe
encounter and challenge what's given to me
choose to embrace or denounce each thought
defending those bastions of theory I wrought
or tear them apart, foundations and up
raise my grey palm to strike aside the silver cup

I choose what poisons to put in my mind
and maybe I'm a fool for that
but you'll be too, if you believe
that everything you're told is fact

Man can naught but question
each statement he is fed
or else he claims to know it all
Then he can tutor me instead


"I don't need to scream for you to deem me aggravation."

We are each individual in our beliefs...this is a good write, I believe this one came from some deep thought...

I would also like to thank you for leaving your comment on "Saying Goodbye".  Thank goodness we have our archives, where you can read more about Madame Chipmunk, and all she brought to Passions...it's a good read, trust me...

I felt your anguish but sorry, i was chuckling as i read....do you have a self-deprecating sense of humour as well?

I choose what poisons to put in my mind

I like this line...Ohhh, the attitude!
