Human

A Poem by J. Kell
"

Old poem I had deleted.

"

What kind of animal are we

To seek eternity

Or ponder origins

In song and poem question our existence

And morality and meaning

On clenched fist leaning

Thinking and wondering

Are we made of something more

Than blood and bone

While during life our dreams are torn

Hopes long hoped are shattered

And finally at long last

Our ashes scattered.

ahh, a timeless question that keeps on through generation to generations... there are too many possibilities and perhaps an infinite probabilities... :) As part of our nature, we are naturally born seeker/searcher for what's out there, that we have a natural curious mind. This short piece is a mindful one, great work!

you are most welcome :)
Yes... Many will relate.
Is there a deeper meaning to life?
Or do we live and then die?
I lost my faith in certain things years ago.
Sometimes we have to follow the basic rules, all those thou shall nots.
But we have to live for ourselves first always.
