Live In the Now

Some people are slaves to technology Throwing away their cash without apology On the latest iPod or iPad Or whatever is the latest fad. They live their lives without direction There has to be more to life Than coping with daily struggle and strife Is this all we have to look forward to? Making our way through this human zoo? Striving to find a sense of satisfaction. Some people are angry, others just sad Wondering why life has to feel so bad Some people drift, feeling lonely Thinking I'd be happier if only, I could make some kind of human connection. Some people live lives materialistic Making the excuse they're just being realistic. "What you see is What you get." Sounds so plausible...and yet What if that's just misdirection? One day you're here, the next day you die Without ever really knowing why You were ever born in the first place. What was your part in the human race? All part of "natural selection." Or is there some way of gleaning That life has a higher meaning. Is there some grand master plan That proves life isn't just a scam That life can have purpose. Is there a way we will ever know Before it's our time to go. Or do we have to wait til we die To finally find the reason why We were ever born in the first place.
