Purpose? ! Poem by Elena Sandu

Purpose? !

Rating: 5.0


Why am I here?
Why do I have
to stay alive?
Why can't I have
each minute
of my
left to live
Life?
Taken.
Purified.
Simplified.
Wrapped.
Sent then, to the
very needy ones.
How many are those
who could make
happiness flow
if only could
be kept
alive
for
a
minute
more? !

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
Please take notice of the form or the poem, it was meant to be a caricature of the human being. Somehow I felt the poem could be too heavy for some people, so I just gave it a playful touch...

Elena, I love this poem. Deep questions asked in a moment of darkness(?) Would it be nice or cruel if we can give away some of time to others? I am not so sure, Elena. One thing I am sure, that life is something with ups and downs, With darkness and sunrises I am quite sure that soon people will be willing to give some their minutes or even hours of day to you.
