I often sit and wonder… What’s the purpose of life?

Is it to have a nice house, and raise children with a wife?

What’s way out in space, and how far does it go?

Is there other life out there? Will we ever know?

Is there a comet on its way to strike the earth right now?

If it ever comes to it, can we stop it somehow?

Should we try to become rich, and live like a super star?

Or live life as it is and have respect for who we are?

Why are so many sick people in bed suffering from cancer?

Why doesn’t God take them fast? Only he knows the answer.

Why does it hurt so bad to lose the ones that you love,

when you know that they are going to the heavens up above?

What’s it like in heaven? Can you have trees, water, and air?

Do you get to see your loved ones? Can they see you from there?

What happens when we die? Do we just wake up in heaven?

IsĀ God waiting at the gates? How many will he let in?

When we finally get to meet him will we actually understand,

why we were put here to live life on this land?

Why are there so many weapons of total mass destruction,

knowing the end results will be total mass construction?

Why are so many fathers taken? So many mothers gone?

So many children lost? Why are they usually innocent ones,

that just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time?

What the hell would I do if one of them were mine?

What is the true key to happiness, and what does it unlock?

I know it isn’t out there hidden beneath some rock.

Are we given a destiny on ourĀ amazing day of birth?

Maybe wondering itself is our purpose here on earth…
