Life's Purpose

Have you ever wondered why we are here,
Why you were born here and not there,
If there is an ultimate goal,
Or maybe we are just going along,
Because this life baffles me,
How can some things be,
If we are meant for a greater calling,
Why are our dominoes all falling?

Why should a baby die at birth,
What really would that life be worth,
What purpose would they serve,
Is that what their sins deserve?
What purpose is a person living in pain,
At the end of it all there's no gain.
You fall ill for many years,
Only to die and bring tears.

What use is it watching your family butchered?
If there is a purpose it should be challenged,
Aren't we tired of failing?
Could you perhaps whisper to me that greater calling,
That is if its there,
Here on earth or anywhere,
I'll ask you in poetry and prose,
What's my life's purpose?
