Countless times have people asked,
Why are we here?

And still
the universe refuses to answer,

never acknowledging the simplistic question
being shouted from tiny voices.

People pray to know
what their purpose is or if there is a purpose.

Demanding an answer to the misfortune that happens.

But the universe stares coldly at the world,
never uttering a single sound.

And why should it?

Why should such a grandiose power
answer people who will die in the blink of an eye
to never change or influence the course of life
and yet people continue to shout
asking and demanding for an answer or a sign.

Nothing changes and the world continues to spin.

The universe continues creating without reason.

Spawning life from the palm of its hand.
