Life Questions

What is a soul But a hoped for longevity What is the afterlife But a wish to live for eternity What is a god But someone to look out for me What is religion But a fraternity What is understanding But how you see me and I see you What is humanity But all of us living and sometimes getting along What is life But a memory filled journey What is peace But interaction without worry What is love But feelings that contradict your psyche What is hatred But loves' enthusiastic foe What is a conscience But a check on selfish tyranny What are memories But time capsules buried occasionally What is faith But anxiety about tomorrow What is laughter But a cleanser of souls And finally What are truths But imperfect understandings of our world
