You've likely pondered
The reason you're here,
The reason behind
Anything at all.
It's commonly wondered,
You needn't fear!
You're trying to find
Your own life's catchall.
Well, I can tell you,
But are you quite sure
You want the surprise
Revealed and unfurled?
You've already come
This far, I suppose.
Hopefully, you'll be
The next one who knows!
The purpose of life
Is continuance
Of what gives purpose,
Our own existence
Depends upon you
Keeping life going,
Helping our own race
Continue growing.
Now, that's merely one
Interpretation
Of our life's meaning,
Yet our damnation
Lies in our people
Still populating
This overcrowded,
Ever-increasing
Race of all humans,
Raised to reproduce,
But what's our limit
Before we're reduced
To being unable
To help ourselves
When we're overwhelmed
By how deep we delved
In this instinctual
Desire to expand
The booming birthing
Of our race, so "grand"?
Too much of something
Good is quite simply
What needs avoiding,
Lest the impending penalty...
