searching from within the outside

Every action has a reaction So am I not just a puppet to the strings of previous events Am i just a reaction to an action Are my feelings My thoughts My ideas Just a predetermined web of unpredictable events Where everything affects everything else In an unexplainable yet magically reassuring way But does this give me no choice but to just sit back and let the world decide Or do I take the reins of life A life that I reprieve Yet have no control over This is my window to the world So what will I look at For it is only what i see that i can question And what I see is only what I know So will I ever see what I do not know? We are the characters playing out each other’s timeless movies A movie that only we can see Yet other can paraphrase But what do we know about something that we are in What does a moment know about the stars? What does man know about mankind?
