Facts
by Edusa Daems
we all like to be philosophers
to be certain and absolute
sadness and notions
taking pride
in some facts
after a while you learn
there is no absolute
certainty is merely a wild guess at life
silently I take a shot at praying
hoping to be right about a tiny fact
young minds all know this
a breeze will manifest itself
and haul you away
