I am a weary pilgrim lugging an overloaded mind
A walking thought bomb ticking time with vacuous questions
Triggering fractions of fact with flints of fiction
Harbouring splintered opinions in an explosive casing of shrapnel
I study the contours of issues on matters divided
Surveying the ridges of truth and the crevices of deceit
Lost in a canyon of persuasion, I see all points of view
Opinions reflected and deflected in shades of truth
Neither right nor wrong, confirming the duality of life
My conclusions explode in a chasm of self doubt
Sometimes I envy the unquestioning, decisive soul
Unfetted and free of cryptic analysis
Concrete opinions as indisputable as a schematic blueprint
Anchored to secure foundations
Constructing a credible argument without doubt
Not like me – churning in an aggregate slurry of vacillation
With no difinitive solution to coagulate into a solid fact
Neither black nor white, just a messy monochrome
Walking about in shades of grey

I found this piece to be akin to a building or construction project. Something solid ... I liked the alliteration which I link to a project ... "concrete opinions as indisputable as a schematic blueprint, anchored to some secure foundations" ... Being au fait with construction industry jargon, you might see what I'm getting at from an 'industrial perspective'?
Beautifully expressed Fred, 'ol buddy, 'ol pal. Reaper chune, Boru!
