The Advent of Man

Creating something
Out of nothing
Only for it to eventually
Disappear

Living in the now
Relishing what we have
Or not noticing at
All

Days go by
And we know our time is
Short

But the mark has been made
And there is progress to achieve
The advent of man and our purpose
Is still a mystery to me
