In Which The Blackbird Ponders On The What And The Why Poem by Kevin Hulme

‘What is our existence all about'?
Said the Blackbird to the Bee near by.
‘What is the meaning of our daily strife,
‘The constant struggle, the trials of life,
The birth of our being and then to die'.
To which the Bee had no reply.
‘Why do we wander from dawn till dusk'?
He asked the Beetle with a sigh.
‘What reason is there from day to night,
Some grief some joy, the daily fight,
The need of Answers for the What and Why'?
To which the Beetle had no reply.
‘Is there a maker that governs all'?
This to the Wise Owl with a pleading cry.
‘That created the Earth, The Moon and Stars,
Is there more to us than what we are,
And all in this World we occupy'?
To which The Wise Owl could not reply.
‘And do we breathe anew after immanent death'?
Now to the Grasshopper and the Fly.
‘To live once more beyond the plane,
Everlasting peace above sorrow and pain,
Perpetual light in which we rise'?
To which the Grasshopper and the Fly, could not reply.
‘Well maybe Mankind with their perception of mind,
Will have answers to all of the Mysteries i've laid.
An intellect above every Creature you'll find,
So to shed revelatory light where life's darkness is made'.
But Ahh Dear Reader on the What and the Why,
As it's Mankind above all, that could not reply.
