Thoughts on the Human Condition

An unanswered question

Haunts us for generations

But no one knows why

 

We start to question

But find no precise answer

If we think too long

 

Hoped for its' exit

Growing up I realized

Adults aren't spared either

 

The meaning of life

Seems farther away than Mars

Becaue no one knows

 

We want a purpose

But few decide for themselves

Aimlessly live on

 

But in truth, we know

The meaning of life

Is self-appointed

 

We choose our own fate

We give meaning to our lives

We question ourselves

 

To love profusely

To help, apart from ourselves

To hope and to dream

 

To fight for our values

And try to do the right thing

To live humanely

 

But it can be more

Purpose can be limitless

So long as we are
