ALL FOR WHAT (a poem by Ude Vivian Chidimma)

Read Time:1 Minute, 15 Second
Is it just me or do you too wonder?
Ponder on this thing called existence
Tense in the living absent in the dead
Dread of death and even more so life
Strife and thrive in perpetual throe

All for what?

Is it just me or do you too wonder?
About the being whose home is yonder
This being whose being is for the beings to be
Our lives as she deems it be
Binge watching deaths, lives and crises

All for what?

Is it just me or do you too wonder?
Stunned at the opera that is life
Creatures of a god so bored and unperturbed
At what point does he laugh or yawn and say
Another one, so our blood runs into our loins

All for what?

Is this a merry go round 
Or perhaps an Utopia ultimate search
I shall ponder less lest life loathes me
But I ask again
Brothers of my father, sisters of my mother

All for what?
