It is a long time ago now
that there was nothing before.
Nothing to remember, recall
Nothing to expect, win or lose.

Every now and then
Can we not start afresh
Tabula rasa!
Learn, unlearn, learn.

Why must time be so long
yet memory of it so short
future be so inaccessible
and past thus unchangeable?

How come the world is so full
of people, things, opinions and ideas
yet everyone seems empty
the hollowness echoes loud.

Whats with this paradox
yin yang, duality in everything
how is unison to be achieved
or something else to stop this futility?
