Why me the first question asked by men
What is the purpose of lives that end
All the effort that goes into becoming ten
Eating and exercising socializing and
Spending hours forever studying then
We are in our twenties career bent
Today nobody marries it's all different
But children are still born into it
Why is the next generation so hard set
On following the steps of those before them
While their parents who were once ten
Turn arthritic gray experienced important
Building the world their children will inherit
Curious the elders seek answers to questions
Asked at the beginning of creations stint
What is the purpose of lives that end
Why me the answer is everyone gets borne
Fillings the world with the perfect and torn
It takes twenty one years to get fully grown
Thinking learning doing becoming someone
Finley creating making changes a ton
Reworking the world again and again
At hight of our value we age out gone then
What is the purpose of lives that end
