Purpose

By Alex Carrigan

What is your purpose here on Earth?
If only that were easy to tell.

It’s easy to tell if you only knew how
important the seconds before the answer are.

The seconds before the answer are the last chance
to rethink the steps that brought you to this stage.

The steps that brought you to this stage were
covered in broken glass and corpses to step over.

You stepped over corpses and broken glass to ensure
the scars on you weren’t your only answer to the question.

The answer to the question is not in the scars on you,
but in the need to be as simple and direct as you can.

You can be as simple and direct once you realize
what your purpose is here on Earth.
