For What...


The sun burning bright
The moon pulling the tide
The earth dizzying day and night
The prey trying to hide
For what

Stars die
Waters run dry
Rocks crumble 
We all stumble 
For what

Political campaigns 
Marketing strategies 
Celebratory champagnes
DSM categories 
For what

Every law is broken 
The coin is just a token
Victory cannot last 
A shadow's always cast
For what

Another day alive
A dream that just won't rest
Not enough to thrive
Yearning beyond what's best
For what

A place because we're here
A thing that holds us dear
The love beyond the lust
The drive without a must
For what 

It is because it's there
It thinks because it is
It sits upon a chair
It tries to pass its quiz
For what

The move becomes a journey 
The crib becomes the gurney 
The sun rises, falls, and sets
We live with vague regrets 
For what

The answer or the question 
The secret or confession 
The similarity or the difference 
The anxiety or indifference 
For what
