"I know it is better to be / Together my friend you and me / So much unknown not borne alone // And the total is the sum squared"

The Existential Question Shared

 

Why does it hurt us to exist?

Is it like this for everyone?

Could it be some better resist

The pitfalls of life sun to sun?

 

Is this the effect of abuse

Suffered individually

Or the scar-tissue and debris

Of all our collective refuse

Suffered as a society?

 

Are these feelings equally real

To everyone or do we feel

Them all somehow more acutely?

Relatively?  Absolutely?

 

Although we might well never know

Since we exist let us persist

Wander and wonder as we go

In this existential question

 

Others whether by suggestion

Or example can help us grow

I know it is better to be

Together my friend you and me

So much unknown not borne alone

 

And the total is the sum squared

The existential question shared
