To What End?

Dec 14, 2005 18:43

Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow, what then?
To what end is all the struggle?
Thousands of miles, passing eternity, where to?
Searching. Searching?
What for?

Sweat, blood and tears. Not everything lasts.
Wherefore persist if not to triumph?
To fail and learn from it?
Why fall before getting up?

Too much. All of it superficial.
Everything, every little thing, or nothing.
It won't matter.
Why waste life and lifetimes building castles in the sand or sculptures made of ice?

All will melt and fade and wither.
And yet, people live, and die, thinking they can make a difference.

Stupidity? Or is that what makes it all worthwhile?
