Are we all leading inconsequential lives?
Are any lives more, or less consequential than others?
What of consequence remains from any life lived?
By anyone?
At any time?
Ah, but what of the legacy of our great prophets,
One may protest.
And how is the world improved by their lifetimes,
Echoes the reply.
Has the world arrived at peace and understanding?
Brotherhood?
Unconditional love?
Certainly not!
So this soul, again, questions in anguish ...
Are we all leading inconsequential lives?
The answer, of course, would be of no consequence ...
Life simply is what it is, is it not?
