Being There

poem by: John Prophet
Written on May 14, 2021 

Being.
Simply
being.
Awareness 
of being.
Consciousness 
of being.
Why?
Why being
at all?
Luck of
the draw?
Decisions 
made by
ancestors?
Lineage 
to now,
nothing 
more?
Merely 
thinking 
animals,
designed 
to fade
away?
Plan.
Perhaps 
a plan.
Eternal 
existence.
Always 
was always
will be?
All mapped 
out for a
purpose?
Purpose 
beyond
comprehension?
Playing a
part in the
grand 
scheme 
of things?
Acting out
a role?
Who’s 
to know?
Who’s to
know for
sure?
No one!
