Do We Exist

What is it to which makes us 
A living form of life's breath 
Do we exist or emotion which controls 
A heart pump its veins run red 
Body just a machine or spiritual being 
Ghost we claim to see or illusion 

Where in the mind you claim existence 
Except your heart you do not think 
Aww' but you feel alive with strive 
A erge to live last breathe of dirt 
You struggle emotionally in the depths 
We are buried six feet for what reason 
Ground as hard as our soul's being 
Perhaps just a empty space held by structure 

Do we exist that we try to perfect oneself 
To love as a being our emotions lead 
What is mankind except complex molecule 
Each similar in way that each different 
Dreaming same vision of hope 
Separate journey with same outcome 
Love of Jesus or darkness heart falls 
Death be certain, life is not 

Do we exist that a rock crash another 
Space of times parallel universe to nowhere 
Just stuck here on a planet's obit 
Only known existence centuries old 
Made that of his image we walk grace 
Upon this heavenly earth we call 
How come not Pluto, Neptune or Saturn rings 

Do we exist or perhaps my soul's out there 
Waiting for me to come home 
Awakening me from my journeys dream 
Do we exist that we turn back dust 
Just a memory our bones leave print 
Or do we serve purpose for our being 
Beauty of creation, a world apart like none other
