Larry, first of all your title is amazing...really excellent phrasing and drew me right in!

Secondly, I adore this poem...I talk about this often with close friends of mine and family and can't help but be saddened by the change in people...You are right, not too many people question their purpose or why they are here, they live for the moment, for the material things and I think your ending word "chaos" truly describes it best. That is why I am such a big believer on purpose because I refuse to live this life confused and lost, wrapped up in items that really hold no TRUE value....

I really admire this write...I feel like the older generation will appreciate this as the younger generation might disagree, but thats simply because the young folks are blinded, which I feel is quite threatening to society.

Lovely write!
