The Human Enigma Poem by Edwina Reizer

How many billions have left this earth
and left their fate to we?
How many more will follow us?
How many more will there be?
Do we leave an essence that can be felt?
We'd like to think it so.
But the vast unknown escapes us
and we will probably never know.

Thus we live our lives the best we can
with these questions on our mind.
And those billions more that follow us
will search but will not find
anything more than we.
