Questions Without Answers

why are we here?
why aren’t we not here?

either way
it’s absurd

either way it is
what it is 

but when a full moon inspires insanity but when the bloated red sun threatens vaporization but when the universe promises heat-death
I'd feel more secure if we only knew why we are here to ask these questions without answers

It's called Retorical. We ask but don't expect an answer.

Yes, perhaps I should change the title to "Rhetorical Questions". Thanks for the feedback.
