People who Like and Dislike Poetry...

People who like poetry
wear berets
Eat healthy
And are open to new ideas
They follow the ideals of trancendentalism
Protecting and enjoying nature
They will always continue
To enjoy poetry

People who dislike poetry
Are too cool to enjoy poetry
They are busy with parties
And friendships
They do not realize
What they do not know
Poetry speaks to them
but they do not listen

-Matt Mansfield

Purpose

What is our purpose?
In the vast expanse of this universe,
Our existence is less than a blip
on the universal radar screen.
For all we accomplish
At the end
What do we have
If it were to all end tomorrow
What difference would it make
What we did with our lives.
But before we question purpose
We must first question existence
And what it is to exist
Are we not just a makeup of atoms,
Interpreting other atoms
Is anything really real
Or is it just an illusion
Whatever we do
At the end
Did it really matter?
