Absurd World

There is a tragedy of existence
We perform a comedy of flaws
We are commanded to repent
But we never know the cause
Given the means of our destruction
Without the wisdom to prevail
Ignorance burns inside our brains
We never know, and always fail
Born to a world that seems insane
There is only absurdity
So we must learn to understand
A person shouldn't so easily shoot
Because there's a gun in their hands

"The realization that life is absurd and cannot be an end, but only a beginning. This is a truth nearly all great minds have taken as their starting point. It is not this discovery that is interesting, but the consequences and rules of action drawn from it."  Albert Camus
