Late in the evening
I contemplate my reason
my reason for living
my reason for being
In a world of fairy tales
and violence, miscarriages of justice
and lies
what do we get out of our lives
Are we just waiting for the changes
to work through the lies
or will we be forever
contemplating our reason
I don’t want to know what kind of day you were having when you wrote this, but I doubt it was on a beach in the Virgin Islands. Reason is the only thing we have to stop being animals, like you wrote there is violence and miscarriage of justice, but inevitably their will always come some good somewhere in the world. What you write is equal bouts poetry equal bouts philosophy and its this I enjoy. Contemplate reason, comes to all of us, my job is trying to use it
Presently depressed I too been have been contemplating the meaninglessness of existence; the nihilism was overwhelming until I saw a ruffled yellow bird skittering about foor a bug way too big. All was then well with the universe!
Life seems to become ever more complicated and difficult - I think the answers lie within rather than outside of ourselves, we just need to contemplate upon our reason for living as you suggest in your poem.

I have felt this, often; you have here expressed it well (for many of us I am certain) . I believe it is good we seek the reason, otherwise how would we ever even begin to find it. Good, very good words Dave.
