Don't You

Don’t you feel like there is supposed to be more?
Don’t you ever think about the other worlds?
Do you ever wonder if this is all there is?
If all we have is to live and to die
Here we are just floating in some big huge sky
Nothing to gain
Nothing to lose
Just passing time
Faintly amused
Don’t you ever wonder
What we could do
If things were different
Than we are used to
Don't you ever think about
The future of your sons and daughters
Don’t you wonder how they will survive
If it’s this bad already
If YOU are struggling to stay alive
How much harder will it be
In 2 years or five?
Don’t you ever wonder
What beauty REALLY looks like?
What a rose would be without our fogged up eyes
Don’t you ever think about
The other worlds?

...and he asked her, "do you write poetry? Because I feel as if I am the ink that flows from your quill."

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
