piE iN tHe SkY

When I woke up one morning
I recognised nothing
I looked at this strange world
and panicked inside

Who was this species that
looked just like me?
I just couldn't connect
I was terrified see

So I sought out the safety
Of somewhere to hide
I could not make a sense of
this place or this ride

Then I saw a black insect
And maybe
It feels the same

So I asked him, said sir,
Pray, from whence are you
came?

It said... I am just an insect
I think not of such things
I'm just happy to be here
And own these fine wings

Yes... but what is your purpose
It said ... I eat and I fly,
Anything else is just
Pie in the sky

All the creatures around
me...well,
I asked every one
And every one said
Look.. just live till your done

But I could not accept this 
Because to live to what end?
What point is no purpose
What point is pretend?

Then I found a warped
mirror
Asked it.... who might she be?
It said...I see not one thing
She has no eyes to see
