Have You Ever Wondered

Have you ever wondered, where we all came from Were we ever in the trees, to the present upright and strong Does it make you think, can you go into your dark What do you actually seek, or is the truth far too stark Have you ever wondered, where we all came from These creeds in earths modern life, is it now here we all belong Does it make you think, but honestly, how far back can you go Are beliefs so now, so recent, when earths axis newly flowed Have you ever wondered, where we all came from So many say their creator, they voice as their song Does it make you think, through your eyes is what you see When elders ruled past tribes, and what they said you'll be Have you ever wondered, where we all came from That science plays the part, that built this living throng Does it make you think, ever since the existence of time That mother nature is the creator, all living hearts are her chime Have you ever wondered, where we all came from On this planet we have excavated, the evidence so belonged Does it make you think, of the icons in our past The ones that exist materially, the ones seen, seem to last Have you ever wondered, where we all came from This creator of modern man, natures right and others wrong Does it make you think, that tribes elders had their say Power became their ultimate, that many still believe to this day http://www.thehighlanderspoems.com/religion-or-not.php

Hello James, This is so true and yes I wonder and ponder this... I don't think we will ever learn from the past. Power and possession seem to be the key. How sad Well Done............ As Always, Shar

Oh this is a great piece of writing as well. Yes, I am certain all people, in all times, have pondered the question of 'where were we before we were here'? You have said this so well. Will you write more on this topic, do you think? I would like to see how you would answer the question you pose in this poem. You truly are a gifted writer.

I think we all wonder from time to time what to believe and what not, with research everything we once believed in gets a new twist. In the end I reckon its our choice, that will eventually be the decider.. A very thought provoking write James.. Hope your weekend's been good :) Wilma

I believe everyone has wondered where they came from, if the Gods we believe in are really true, if they're life after death. But I think it's more interesting if we don't know some things, maybe if we knew everything life would be boring. Hugs, Emilia:)
