I May Be Wrong Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

I’m sure I’ve passed this way before
and certain that I will again
I do not worry any more
although some questions still remain.

What is my purpose in the plan.
I do not know and none can say
what is the value of a man?
What role am I supposed to play?

I do believe I’m here to learn,
gain valuable experience.
As every soul must in its turn.
It seems to me to make more sense.

Than being judged on one life span.
A moment in eternity
It’s far beyond the scope of man
to reach perfection speedily.

I’m sure I’ve walked this road before
and certain that I will again.
Obedient to the Karmic law
which rules the fate of everyman.

I don’t believe vague promises
that learned priests all guarantee.
Visions of their paradises,
which simply don’t make sense to me.
