Meaning of Life

poem by: Michael LoMonaco
Written on Jun 15, 2016

Are we a structured plan by a God?
In which the ultimate test is executed.

Does evolution dominate society?
Where only the strongest person survives.

Riddles of faith baffle the human mind.

We search for cause and purpose,
Expecting a prize filled with treasure.

Is value monetary or sentimental?

The pot of gold is worthless without meaning,
Adding no worth to a dollar if life isn't cherished.

Our life is a story that is yet to be told,
Fight with commitment for happiness,
And let destiny tell its wonderful tale.

Hi Michael, I really like your simple, provocative poem. I think your questions/statements are embraced by those of us with a philosophic attitude... I express my personal opinions on your subject in a poem "Have I made Difference". Look forward to reading more of your work. Cheers, Rod Moffat

Nice poem. Concise and to the point. Sometimes we struggle to find meaning among a selection of life's many choices. "Adding no worth to a dollar if life isn't cherished". The meaning of those words is your treasured pot of gold!! Happiness in life can only occur from within and by sharing with others. All the $ in the world is meaningless if the soul remains empty and alone.

Judgements of deception plagued my mind, Following an artificial shadow with no hope. Having problems from cognitive growth, Learning was considered a form of witchcraft. No intentions of committing remorseful acts... Read more
