Questions
by Kylie Sherman
How does the world work?
Oh, there are many answers, of course. Science has answers, religion has answers, etc.
But how does it work?
Why are we so lucky?
Why do we get to thrive?
Why are we so complicated?
Why are there so many of us?
Why can we think?
Why do we hurt each other?
Why do we matter?
Why do we?
Why?
Does everyone have a purpose? Are we all meant for some greater good?
Is there an order to life? Are we an evolutionary diamond?
Are we unique? Are we special?
I don’t know. Not for sure.
Does anyone?
Is there anything we do know?
Well, we’re here.
We exist somehow.
We could be someone’s dream.
We could be someone’s reflection.
We could be someone’s playthings.
We could be illusions.
We don’t know.
But we are here.
And we can learn.
We can change things.
We can improve.
We’ll always be human, and we are programmed to discover.
And someday, maybe we’ll even figure out the answer
To the eternal question:
Why?
