Lifes Mysteries

L—ife starts with universal creation 
I—n due course, producing humanity 
F—ighting our way, through civilizations
E—ach step we take, augurs calamity
S—till here we are, without reason, and why!

M—any believe religion, gives balance 
Y—et my search continues, pie in the sky 
S—eeking answers up here, quite a challenge 
T—odays biggest mystery, deals with death 
E—ternity’s, so difficult to grasp 
R—ight now this second, is all that we get
I—ncredibly already, it’s gone past 
E—asy way to figure out life, just don’t 
S—imply outrageous to think that, I won’t!

Your bang on the dot Christopher, the right questions must be asked, regardless of lack of answers, what a waste time, to be led blindly around by the blind cheers David
