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
