Being a Being
June 16, 2017
Well, you see, we don't exist for no reason
Who knows why we're here
Or what we'll do
But it's up to us to choose
Well, there's good and bad
On this earth exists plentiful of both
But sift through the relics
And choose what path suits you
Well, you see, many things differ
So... it's hard to decide
Because some decisions are so benign
And some are majorly huge...
...But it's up for us to choose
How we win
Or how we lose
In the absurd world in which we inhabit
© Micha C., Toronto, ON, Canada

The tone of this poem was inspired by Langston Hughes "Mother to Son." I tried to take the theme of life in Hughes poem and twist it to fit in the modern century of time we are in now.
