Today as I looked across the water
I came to the sudden and disturbing realisation
I don't know why I'm here
What purpose is this life?
This question is hitherto unanswered
To progress, defining existence
Is what is needed to make sense of it all
No more who?
What?
When?
Or where?
But why?
The deeply chaotic reality before me is not going to reveal its answers
For it has none
Not asking 'why?' is expecting echo from silence
As the grey clouds of ignorance envelope you
It's best just to close your eyes
And ask
Why?
