to question time.
but where did this begin?
life is looping around
a million circles 'round the
million suns
that scorched away
tragedy
brought about by rain
can time lie?
it told me secret
yesterday
i can't tell it to be true
but it circles 'round my head
around the world
infinitely looping
we cannot trust
cannot know
believe
or even see
can it be seen?
or is it even attainable?
where are we going?
