Where is it all going?

I often wonder what itʼs all about.

Where is it all going?

Why all this moving?

Where is everybody going?

Then I hear the news of a man dying as a victim of senseless violence. A child has fallen in a well.

A baby is miscarried..

All of our plans...

They seem to be so important, and indeed, they are.

At least, the ones that are honorable.

Supporting our children.

Saving for a rainy day.

Adding love to the world.

But....

Where is it all going?

Was I here before?

Is this a test?

And then I step out of the house, into the sun,

And remember what it is...

to enjoy..

I like the beginning, first 4 lines r cool

Going somewhere we can not comprehend

Sometimes life seems just illusion .....why we are living for....actualy there is just zero...but again when we get up at the morning a new day ...again we follow the routine....life goes like this

Yeah..we are heading towards our destiny and during this journey we are facing so much of ups and downs..but what to do.. we can't stop at the middle of it...so whatever hurdle comes we must face it...and accept the challenges of life...happily.

This is the first poetry, I get to read from you.. It reflectes many more things of life reality.. Thanks for sharing!

It is what it is. Life!!!

Life is a deep mystery, people can only make guesses about it. Nobody can decode it perfectly. That is also a beauty of life.

To be or not to be ! Great post.

Thank you for the philosophic bend? One of your lines is it for me

"Is this a test?"

Whether you believe in god or in any other thing, for me the whole life is a ongoing test of your staying power, awareness, relationship, love.. your character and attitude. Every day i'll try to blend away all the negativity of the world or the bad things too many focus on. Because obviously bad things happen each day, but also wonderful things done by men and women who don't take time to watch all the bad news.

Because they want create good things as much as possible in the short span of their life in the everlasting battle between good and evil or as we defined it for us! One of my recent posts is showing some causes of bad behaviour too. I see our ultracomplex life system on earth as one of the rare occurences in the galaxy. We cannot look too far, but from what we know our earth habitat is one of a kind and every the uncount crazy things happen here.

Have a nice day and a wonderful life! 😁

Nice view!!!

very nice post @kafkanarchy84
