When you can stand completely outside looking in

You can really only do it if you've been part of the din

When the confusion of it all has gotten right to your mind

Then the muddle everything is, makes you aloof, not blind



And so you reassess all you see, then make observations

Clearly stating how you see things, without impatience

Noting all of the pros and cons of every single situation

Then turning it into stories to charm people of all nations



To think these observers aren't in some way or other moved

Is the kind of naivete which is better left to those without moods

And if you truly think they even exist anywhere at all in the world 

Then I suggest you find them, for, perhaps, they can help unfurl



... The Mystery of Life
