Why and No

I cann't tell fore from aft'
Past is same as that before me
Oblique and purpose daft
Yet I sing out loud a free me

Yesteryears Chains
As yesterdays addictions be
And as today's cults are
People and places that slaved me

Through haze and fogs, fact and thought
Inside and out, chosen or not
Always somewhere came 'why and no!'
The soil and water for a soul to grow

From where and when came
that 'why and no' to me
To that unknown I sing
Thanks, you freed me
