Worldviews

In this cavernous world
of me, you and a million others
Let me tell you a story
a story of three brothers

Born together and incredibly alike
Gifted they were and in equal measure
Like most of their juvenile kind
Spent their early days in petty pleasures

But as the capricious Time
slowly but inescapably unfurled
They came to have their own
views and opinions of the world

The first one thought that the end
of him and that of all human kind
Lied finally and firmly in happiness
the vague and elusive bliss of the mind

A stand so pedantic and yet so common
But that doesn't render it any less noble
But little did he know of a cruel fact
What is honorable is seldom possible
