I've had just enough time to... answer with "I don't know"
Taken during a lecture in Dongguan, China when I don't know the equation
I don’t know
the equation of Life
Presented
on the white board
To the
last two decimal
Neat and
tidy
My mind
is blank
My
emotion in turmoil
Everyone were nodding their heads
But mine was violently shaking
“Life is
a formula!”
But mine
doesn’t equate!
I follow
the rules
I read
the books
I listen
to the experts
And experts
don’t lie
Do they?
They
show me the path we should take
They
have a shortcut
Only
experts can make
When I
asked why?
I got an
“F”
And shown the door
Now I cannot be an expert-like
I’ve
lost the Equation of Life
No
certificate, no certificate
Condemned
to die
_______
I don't
know what you smoke or what countries you've been to
if you
speak any other languages other than your own
but I'd
like to meet you
I don't
know if you drive if you love the ground beneath you
I don't
know if you write letters or panic on the phone
still I'd
like to call you all the same, if you want to, I am game.
