We exist to wonder
About the galaxies and seas
Solutions always vague
About how they came to be
We ponder the Egyptians
The sphinxes and their marks
How the earth can rotate
Why there’s night and dark
We ponder over mountains
And the cracks that fall between
Serenity and misery
Nothing’s ever like it seems
We lay our heads in beds
And over-thinking brings
Love and hate and remorse
And why we feel such things
We live in speculation
In fear of the unknown
We blindly make decisions
And then reap what we have sewn
Fires burn like cancer
We contain the treasures
Space exceeds forever
Still we find no answer
We are always searching
Searching for the greater
Never fully satisfied
So we worship a creator
Life is one big lesson
And certain paths do cross
Some of us wear crowns
Made of thorns and scratchy moss
But I am still searching
For the reasons to be shed
Of why on Earth I’m here
Before I’m better off dead
I have traveled the Earth
Said goodbye to the departed
But so again it seems
I am right back where I started
In the end the answers
Are not to our delight
Some may come to realize
Throughout the lonesome night
