"Why Are We Here?"
Why is the world a swirling vortex of colors,
Beings themes, and words I can’t spell?
Why do stereotypes give fuel to wild beasts
Who go around forcing others
To behave like they know nothing?
Why is the sky a canvas
Upon which God makes paintings
That transform every minute?
Why is the world full of forms
That are fast winds that are born,
Create, and destroy while they last,
And then fade into oblivion?
Why does the expansion of the universe
Create ripple effects in the minds of creatures
Who don’t know how vast their importance
Is to that very same universe?
Why is the spontaneous generation of questions
A way of opening the door
To a whole new dimension of possibilities
Whose very existence
Creates new questions?
Why is confusion a thunder
To the lightning fast mistakes that occur when things
Go wrong?
Why are we here
If we are an hour glass
That is continuously losing sand?
Oh, why does a creature
That continuously breaks the laws it creates
Call itself a civilized man?
