For Reasons Unknown

by goot   Nov 9, 2004


Do you ever sit and think about your meaning?
Have you ever looked around and got lost?
I have.
Some people think they have meaning
Some think they're here to serve

People every day live a life of losses and pain, and for what?
For reasons unknown

Have you ever been walking and blindly think of death?
Does it ever seem to you that theres no purpose?
It does.

People every day die and never think twice, and for what?
For reasons unknown.

    very very true
    I have done all that thinkin before...
    what is the point in everything right?
    life?
    death?
    our purpose?
    one day we will evolve into monstrous beasts...oh know wait we're already putrid creatures....we kill our own kind for pleasure or other petty things such as money,land, or out of pure hate
    where is the justice in that?
    We pollute the world we destroy this earth we are so lucky to have...without it we wouldnýt be here today although i'm sure we could all live without some of the current world leaders reigning war on us all...it's disgusting isn't it?
    Sure people say wars are great for things...and sure several medications were discovered in wars...but it had to take thousands of men to discover it???...i think not I'm sure we could've found it an easier way.
    2 world wars...as if 1 was not enough they go back for more
    where is this goin 3rd world war in my lifetime in your lifetime...
    it's outragous we should not stand for it...
    and i believe i have said to much so i will be goin now
    keep scribblin'
    catch ya

    This poem was inspired by the war in which mine and many of your grandfathers' fought in. It is a thanks for their efforts to protect the world, but a dsiregard to those who are starting wars all over the world.
    a war will be the death of me
