Being There Poem by John Prophet

Being.
Simply
being.
Awareness
of being.
Consciousness
of being.
Why?
Why being
at all?
Luck of
the draw?
Decisions
made by
ancestors?
Lineage
to now,
nothing
more?
Merely
thinking
animals?
Plan.
Perhaps
a plan.
Eternal
existence.
Always
was always
will be?
All mapped
out for a
purpose?
Purpose
beyond
comprehension?
Playing a
part in the
grand
scheme
of things?
Acting out
a role?
Who's
to know?
Who's to
know for
sure?
No one!
