> Why am I here anyways?
> And why do we get so many rainy days?
> Man I'd like to know why
> Who's behind this ? He must be sly
> I grow impatient so I lie
> I lie now to reep benefit
> But if it's not me that I'm proud to admit
> How can I ever be happy as these years pass and my candles lit.
> I blow the candles another year passed by
> Maybe I'll give life a different try
> So I dream at night and begin to fly
>
> But I wake up and go to school
> Boy do I feel like a fool
> All I see is evil faces and so much drama in their faces.
> Everywhere I see all these different races
> So who's to say is superior?
> If I have a say, we're all inferior
> What counts in real is your interior
> The judge is omnipotent invisibly
> There's a reason why we're here so miserably
> Not for you to be prince of the palace or gather a gold lump.
> In the end you'll only be a pile of slump
> So who cares what they think?
> This whole thing it's one big link
> What will count is if your heart was clean
> So don't you wish bad or be so mean
> All this material will be gone
> Guess what's left at the final dawn?
> Your heart is and all your deeds
> So plant your life and be a good seed
> At the end you should've grown to heaven
> But because of what you did you won't get that lucky number 7.

What inspired me to write this poem is the infamous question we all face in our lifetime... Why are we here?
