I'M ONLY HUMAN

 

I wish I could be enlightened,

and know just why I'm here;

Unfortunately, I'm quite dumbfounded,

that's why I cry my tears.

 

If a were a Buddha, I'd know why,

or a Krsna, Mohummud or Christ;

But I'm only me and that's confusing,

for I really don't know what's right.

 

Should I do this, or should I do that?

Is this good or bad?

If I only had the answer,

Then I wouldn't be so sad.

 

And so I go on singing my song,

or rhyming out a poem;

As I do I realize,

that I'm only human.
