Notes About The Poem

The purpose of our lives is to be happy—Dalai Lama
Php 2: 2 Love, being one in spirit and purpose

 

Earth Life Purpose

When self-awareness arrived 
               friction was the price to pay
Hang-ups: now to a mindful 
               self-conscience we fall prey
A primal hysteria, a repressed realm 
               of raw violent emotion 
A basic instinct to stay alive 
               in the unconscious and in motion
Choices made won’t make the grade
               all will reveal then betray
A gift from a loving source
               mankind ruined—had his day                                    
No relief for consequences brought 
               by voluntary actions—only unrests                                                         
Spirit hidden, mind insight, beliefs transcend 
               even the subconscious tests
Bad behavior unleashed with emotional charge 
               is emanating infectious tolls
To be calm and to have benign intentions 
               as does the temperate climate 
It becomes more favorable; earth life purpose 
               is to be genuine—it's what stirs souls

Life makes no sense sometimes, you expressed it well. You described a world of sound and fury with no resolve, something to ponder. Robert
