Debating...

is the closest space between us laughter or a tear?
does it matter why we are all put on here?
are we good or bad in our beating hearts?
does it matter where you finish if you never start?
accomplishments mean what? to who?
should we care what one another do?
why do we care how we all were created?
why is the end of the earth always debated?
but when this last question gets answered 
there will be no more time to decide
so follow no other paths 
but your own vanishing trail inside

The wisdom of debating, Set your sight high, then if you don't reach your intended goal, at least you will have accomplished something in between. Sincerely, Moses
