Nature Dreams Existence

In dreams
I know not where I go
Same as studying nature's flow-
Crops we must irrigate
Shelter be sustained
What else?
Is mankind insane?

In dreams i drift unbeknownst 
Like discovering lost treasure
In whose clasp I weather
Unconcerned about a fool's errand

Now I'm older
I've seen
Those needy addicts plunge-
Knowing the impossibility
Of digging yourself out of a hole
What more?
Nature I ask:
For what reason
Was I planted here?
