The Question

i took a step
and looked back
on the ground 
that we walk on

and then i had a 
question
but no one had the 
answer

so i studied the
history
but the history was
flawed

so i took another step back 
and asked the question of
God

but the answer was flawed
so i asked again
to the heavens and the earth
what's the purpose of man?
