I searched for the answers in the books written by Man
And I could find no answers
I searched for the answers in the wisdom of prophets
And I could see no answers
I searched for answers in the great churches and mosques
And all I could see was confusion
I searched for answers by praying
And was met by silence.

Turn inwards
The heart is the engine of the body
The mind is the heart of the body
Turn inwards
There are no answers outwards.

Faith is a construct build on confusion
We wanted answers of why we are here
We wanted answers of who we are
We wanted answers to why we treated each other as we do.

When I look into the eyes of a politician or religious leader
I see confusion and the need for understanding
Blind faith is not understanding, it has no answers.

I searched for the answers around me and slowly
I could find them
They were not written in books, or found in the words of people
I searched for the answers, and they were innate
A trans-emergence
The silence fades into the static of a universe full of questions.
