Purpose full
We wander
Unsure of destinations
Only that we must
Advance
Purpose full
We argue
Unsure of motivation
Only that we must
Combat
Purpose full
We consume
Unsure of integration
Only that we must
Ingest
Purpose full
We produce
Unsure of gestation
Only that we must
Breed
Purpose full
We love
Unsure of temptation
Only that we must
Trust

Wow! Nice stuff!. A superbly written with solid beginning and ending. Poem possesses a smooth and transcendental quality. Poem possesses bold colors, bright tones and images. This poem sings with resonance. You painted a poem with words for the Greek Gods to chant. Keep sharing.
I love that you show the negatives of human nature in the first few verses and the the one over-riding positive in the last verse. Beautiful.
This is pretty keen, Jason. Repetition of “Purpose full” and “Only that we must” lends a mantra-like quality to your poem, gives it reverence, a spiritual moment suddenly emerges. Excellent, my friend..:)
