Why are we here?
What's the point?
Please bear with me
while I smoke this joint

I've pondered for years
And still it's unclear
I doubt I'll figure it out
By the end of this beer

I'm Still here thinking
about this annoying little question
And times getting shorter
with each chronological succession

Maybe by this time you've discovered your answer to the oldest question in the world, or so I perceive it to be anyway.

When one asks this question and feels like they now know the mystery of the irrepressible force meeting the immovable object, take a fleeting moment to consider it as a theological question. Because after all else is exhausted, that's where you'll find the solution.

Once you grasp the answer, you'll then also know what an 'oh-duh' moment is.

Many, feel that they're here just to clean up everyone else's mess, or the object of another's abuse or any one of a multitude of undesirable reasons. But ... When we find ourselves the object of a heaven sent relationship, it seems to end our search for answers to most of life's unanswered questions.

Super poem and great question.
I sometimes think I am here as a bad example

May your roof never fall in and those beneath it never fall out.
Irish proverb
