Looking For Answers in Vicarious Places

I spent a lot of time looking for answers
Mostly in the arms of pretty young girls
I always came away with more questions though.
How does that feel?
How do you like that?
Who's your daddy?
and lastly
Was it good for you?

I spent a lot of time looking for answers drinking,
thinking the answers may lie there,
mostly beer and cheap wine.
What does that do?
How does that make you feel?
How in the hell did I get here?
Who in the hell is in bed with me?
and lastly
Do you have anymore of that?

Perhaps recreational drugs had the answers I sought
Just more questions, fewer answers than before
Can I do that and drive?
How much does it cost?
Can I get hooked on it?
and lastly
How much time does one serve?

I have found that the answers lie within.
A random act of kindness.
A word of encouragement.
Others first.
Gods' Grace.
