I once had a thought,
That turned into a seed.
I hope one day that seed,
Will believe in me.
But if not..........



THE UNEXPECTED QUESTION

I sign in
So many times.
To see if it's
Still me.

There really is
No reason.
I do it,
All the time.

I bleed; I sneeze,
I even go for a wizz,
Just to prove to myself,
I really do exist.

Why?
I don't remember,
Why,
As my eyes,
Cover in a mist.

Is someone out there,
That often wonders.
As our creator;
Where did I go wrong.

When I created man,
He thinks to his
Omnipotent self,
Was it self awareness?

He picks up Mankind's
Petre dish thinking;
I think I'll start again,
Then flushes mankind out.

To a unsuspecting universe,
That in the confines.
Of our world,
Will never be the same.

As he asks himself,
Once again.
The innumerable question;
Where did I go wrong?

I hear frustration in this one Alan. Sometimes life's struggles make us question our beliefs But sometimes they make it stronger. Especially when it comes to humanity.
