Uncertainty - From High School

Uncertainty

The world is full of certainties

I can't argue with that

But I can say that it is based on

The world being a certainty itself

All that people know and do

Is based just upon five things:

Sight, hearing, smell, taste, touch

Nothing else helps us in that

Even the senses were discovered

With the help of themselves

And who can tell they really exist?

Nobody knows, nobody cares

We think, of course, that all this world

Is real, our senses tell us that

But the only reason senses are real

Is because the mind makes them seem like that

We are born, our senses too,

The mind starts picking up information

It's the only thing the mind has

It's the only explanation

That's the only reason why we know this is real

But even if it was, t'would make no difference

The things we touch and feel so much may really be outside

But where we really feel them is in the head, inside

What fundamental certainty does anyone really know?

I believe I know one, a very important one

Even if all the outsides were really cleaned up, empty

We know that something does exist, the receiver, me
