Where did we come from?
the eternal question
of five year olds
and philosophers...

one answer is simple
the other complex,
yet we use the same words
to confuse the issue

Where did we come from?
An egg?
An Amoeba?
From space?

Perhaps only the most recent souls know
or the ones a half step from death,
but neither has words nor time
to explain it to us

"When mommy and daddy love each other very much"
who's to say there were no Gods,
taking time to love,
to explain why it's the one thing we're all searching for...

and the one thing we forget...

"Love thy neighbor"
do you love him,
or do you loooove him,
it's never specified

choose what you will,
the eyes of time are upon you,
but those eyes I think,
are in a face, with deep laughlines

laugh at your mistakes
you've got one life,
or so they say
so live it

Having never heard from the divine
I think it's safe to say
they'd understand
all the misunderstandings

We are an eternal joke
chasing our own tails
and always begging the question
"Where did we come from?"
and
"Where the hell are we going?"

I'm going to play hoop tonight.
