Poetry

Sometimes I wonder why man
yearns for a higher being
yearns to spend time with God,
as if he is hardwired
to long

for something like a perfect eternity
and although he lives in cities of concrete
does build great memorial signs,
sometimes man lives
as if everything is only for the here and now

but there remains a homesick urge
to something higher
in which meaning comes to perfection
as if man does realize
that he is no god
and only exists mortally
on this planet.
