The meaning of life

The meaning of life

I ponder about the meaning of life
Could we even give it meaning?
No matter how hard we try?
How could we ever give it meaning?
If we don’t know why
We exist or why we think
If we are designed
Or just coincidence

Let’s say we find the answers
How do we know if we are right?
Who is to decide?
We are the most advanced species
Technologically speaking
But how advanced is our Mind?
And how does one measure this?
Without knowing
The meaning of life

We move forwards
But do we?
Move forwards?
How do we know?
Which roads to take?
Paths to follow?
Which goals we should try to achieve?
How do we know without knowing?
The meaning of life

How can we see?
See which way to go?
Do we move or wander?
Forwards?
Or backwards?
Maybe side to side?
There is no way of knowing
If we are blind

Like clocks without the time
Notes without a symphony
Clouds without a sky
Is life without knowing
The meaning of life

So it seems obvious to me
How to advance as a human kind
We need our goals aligned
And work together to find
The meaning of life

Only with knowing
The meaning of life
We can move forward
Forward as one
Have meaning
As our guide

Is there a "meaning" of life? I always think of it as a happy accident. But that's me ... I am not scientific in any way. I am a dreamer so i can only dream of a time when man (meaning the human race and not just male) actually becomes kind. I like the thoughts pondered in this x
