Urban Afternoon Reflection

Sitting here
   gazing out 
of 
my 
window 
    hearing autos rush by 
   I meditate on our dilemma 
   Citizens of a small planet in the vast 
cosmos 
We spend our time 
searching for love 
and peace 
   Trapped on a one way path 
   to nowhere 
We must find some meaning in our lives 
Sex, intoxicants, music 
relieve the pain temporarily 
"But there is always the question"

Great lines with majestic eloquence.. Your meandering of words still did not prevent your peice from giving out its message. This is an absolute 7!

glad your mom is still around, Matt. Mine is too though I rarely get to see her. I ought to call her and see if she got my gift yesterday on time. I like how your poem refers to the question that will always plague mankind!

How true. Life just passes us by. Our questions unanswered. Maybe we are just looking in vain and life really has no meaning? Nice introspective write . 7
