I tore apart my bookshelves searching for an explanation
Looking for one perfect book that offers exact summation
Epitomize humanity- existence as it is now
Dostoyevsky, Flaubert … my entire day spent I avow
Books strewn about: Twain, Plath, Voltaire, Camus, Hemingway, Irving
Perhaps the answers not a book, but the movie- Lion King
Joseph, Moses, Hamlet- told this same tale with ability
Exile, shame, hunger, despair, life, death, responsibility
