Shambling across the landscape 

searching for salvation

Wondering if it’s real

or a dream people have

How can the common man

know that there is or isn’t

such a thing in this world?

Or any world else that may exist

Not any organized religion

for that is but a scheme

To help people coexist 

though that is just a dream

Salvation from one’s self

can’t be faced in the mirror 

when you rise in the morn

But it keeps you awake at night
