I Value

There's a blood of uncertainty

In everything that we could see

Some men call it meaninglessness

For others, relativity

This world in in fact valueless

And all runs to absurdity

But there's a thing in man's nature

That I am very, very sure

It is non-rationality--

Like a soul that is most impure,

Almost like a drunk yet empty,

Like a madness that we ignore

Man creates his very speech

That shows value in every pitch

He even creates his nature

His beliefs that idly beseech

A relief from what is unsure--

A boredom he wanted to ditch

Though the reality's like that

I could still point out a dot

I could still love you, my Tang

I could defy what I am not

I could cut off my living tongue 

And break away from nature's knot

I have in my veins the freedom

That God doesn't have in his kingdom

What matters is how I behave,

How I let some go, others come;

How I value or how I save

My love for Sophie, Tang and Mom

I am 'man,' I am 'Being'

I must live what I am saying

The sublime, the unsayable

Is worth no more than the nothing--

It's end is impracticable

Only I who can mean something!

Philosophy measures our lives;

Our lives weigh our valuations
