A Sheer Waste of Time

by @RA21

Isn't all this, That we do, Just a sheer waste of time? All this could finish right there, The earth could end, With a sign nowhere. What is the purpose of this? We all are born, We all live, we all survive, We all struggle, And a few shine, When this could end any moment, Isn't all this a sheer waste of time? Why do we work hard, If unsung we all have to die; Why is it so difficult To say goodbye? Does reincarnation really take place? Or is this planet actually, Just a figment of somebody's imaginative space? So much of hard work,   Is put into those inventions. Life is pretty complex, With all those tensions. What if the the world had to end, At this very time, Before you could even read this line? This is all so purposeless, We are fighting with our inner selves. We are completely oblivious Of what's out there; About the big picture, We have no clue, We don't even think about such stuff, Since we are busy with our own blues. Caring for somebody, Or letting out a whine, If no one is listening, Isn't all this a sheer waste of time? What if our prayers are not heard, Rather, are merely coincidents? What if the moments we wish for, Are already destined to happen the next?

Notes

Trying to see the big picture... I had planned to finish off the climax of 'A Study in Pink', but this happened first.  

Here's something insane that I thought:

The obstacles in our lives are like prime numbers; we do not know when we would stumble upon one. ;)
