Is it a matter of timing?

Or simply a matter of time? 

As we await moments arriving

Have we lost the last of our minds? 

​

Is it a matter of virtue?

What separates the bad from the good? 

The righteous among us 

They find kinds of trouble 

The wicked ones never quite could

           

And everything I thought I knew

Has based on a certain set of simple truths

And a fair bit of circumstance and deja vu

And I’m starting to doubt myself

​

Is it a matter of timing?

Is it just a matter of time? 

The lessons I’ve learned are expiring    

And I don’t particularly mind

             

Everything I thought I knew  

Has based on a certain set of simple truths

And a fair bit of circumstance and deja vu  

And I’m starting to doubt myself

And just about everyone else

​

Is it a matter of timing?
Have we lost the last of our minds?
