Before The Beginning Poem by ivor or ivor.e hogg

Why does the human race exist?
Unanswered questions will persist.

Philosophers and scientists
All try to penetrate the mists.

It seems as if each answer found,
leads to a question more profound.

It often seems the evidence
flies in the face of common sense.

Some premises I accept as true
may seem quite different to you.

The things we know or think we know.
Frequently prove to be not so.

It all depends how we perceive
the so called facts which we believe.

Is there a God it would seem so.
I can believe but do not know.

We cannot prove it either way
and so unanswered questions stay.

Unanswered now as they have done
since mans history was begun.

Although we ask we get no reply
Is God still there or did he die?
