Muto's Moment #14

Intelligent Dissatisfaction

I think therefore
I am not good enough
I will try until I'm no longer me

I think therefore
I will always need more
I must know what I cannot see

But would there be
Something wrong with me
If I did not care to think?

If I could do anything
I’d trade thoughts for feelings

Would it make me less a man
If I feel therefore I am?
If I chose a pure sensation
Over clear examination?

I would not have intelligence
To interrupt experience
If I could do anything
I’d trade thoughts for feelings

It wouldn’t matter why I’m here
Or if the past is still unclear
I wouldn’t need the evidence
I’d settle for happiness
