Purpose

poem by: John Prophet
Written on Nov 14, 2023

Purpose.
Point.
Searching
for meaning,
truth,
purpose.
Philosophical
rumination.
Seeking the
divine.
Asking
questions.
Shouting
into the
void.
Silence.
No reply.
Only
echos.
Echos
of
ignorance.
Flailing 
in 
emptiness.
Void of
confusion.
Reasoning
purpose.
Limited
capacity.
Functionally
governed.
Doomed
to a
small place.
Fish
in a
bowl.
