Almost Without Purpose
MendedFences27 said:
Everything in life has a reason and a purpose, everything else are the idiosyncrasies of their existence. Take for instance, humankind.
A very deep thought expressed her in this poem, and I agree completely with your conclusion.

Bella Shepard said:
You pose quite a quandry my friend. Perhaps the purpose of something, which seems purposeless, lies hidden in the purpose of something else....? Everything seems ultimately linked somehow. You provide a poem to feast upon here.

I agree with so many comments before mine...but I know someday we\'ll have the reason for the purpose.I also agree with your last statement about some things having barely no purpose at all.....x

So much philosophy in this write. Yes, almost is the key word. It is from our perspective that we see. From the bug\'s point of view we may have almost no purpose.

\'maybe ignored and unheard ..\'
what is Purpose
in the face of such widespread
Ignorance
to the suffering, we all choose
as a background, ambience
to our plagued, existence
(such a vivid distillation
of paradox complexities
in our human condition;
a scene, as parable
words as subtle coaxing
of whatever humane, we still harbour
a Poem, to contemplate
cherish and revisit)
brilliantly executed!
I bow to your superior talent, dear Poet supreme

\'it\'s entirely about, all
the her\'s\'
see, we need only
visit
our Hellenic mythology
ancestry
to realise, just how many times
that \'trope\'
(Semele\'s nightmare
to Zeus\'s
\'thigh\' birthed child, Dionysus
ring a bell, to anyone...?)
has been used, and abused
by storytellers
across the history of humanity
makes you, think
if all story, is based
on some partial, component
of our everyday, REALITY
how many, mother\'s
were subjected, to such ill-fated
n highly, ignorant
societal abuses, for writer\'s
to assume, we would all
relate
so easily...

\'just how many dreams
that cost ..\'
Nature, has a most callous way
of reminding us
just how precious, life truly is
(my thoughts go out to all
who\'ve suffered
and the many that lost their lives)
a worthy write, Hyung
thank you!

Brilliant!!!
(be it a single, memory
revisiting at an imperfectly
timely, moment
or that picture, we walk past
time n again
yet this one moment, we stop
to consider, choosing
to allow the pain and remember
or
those remnant, belongings
decades later
that somehow, still feel
warm, to the touch
as if, just yesterday
they were in the hands
of the one, we so dearly wish
was still by our side...)

I will have to look up the story then.
Might it be a hymn-poem, if I could adapt it?!
And furthermore - I said, \'Oh you can call me anything; just don\'t call me Agnes\' (unrelated to this, just a random bit of nuttiness). lol.

A meaningful poem with deep regrets,
World must think it over deeply to help,
The poet is absolutely right in his feelings,
We must view all as humans and assist!

I agree in the comments before mine that if it\'s not in the news, it is largely forgotten. Thank you for bringing this to light and to give hopes and dreams to the faces and souls of all those who lost their lives in that horrible earthquake...C

Sidelined, I\'m afraid, Nev.
All we know about Syria (or anywhere else for that matter) is via the media, and the caravan moves on....
It is too easy to read and forget, but what? Troubling.

A poignant write Neville.
Meanwhile - you spent that extra second we had one year? Or was it 0.00079 of a second?
I spent it by sailing round the world 3 million times, at more than the speed of light! lol. Otherwise I would have only got 186,000 miles in that second - the speed of light. Enough waffling, says Fido!
