Our Purpose

What is our purpose?

Is it to sit in high back chairs
Shouting across a room that demands to be heard?
Or is it to sit atop a hundred horses
And race past those that crawl through the streets?
Or is our purpose more simple, less complex?
Is it simply a number?

42?

Is what we are told by our parents to do our purpose?
Is what society wants us to do our purpose?

Is our purpose to make others happy?
Is it to make ourselves happy?

Is it our purpose to save a world that we destroyed?
Is it our purpose to find new ways of killing people?
Is it our purpose to tell others what to do?

What is our purpose?

Is our purpose..

To..


..die?
