The Cynic

Over and over the cassette plays,
The same song from the dawn of days,
A million times thoughts streak across,
A million times laid on the same cross.

Will the scepsis ever stop?
Will the voices ever go away?

At the end of days, on blackened stone,
An inscription writ on a battered throne:
Here sat the fool whose eagle eyes
Saw in every truth a veil of lies.
