My Heart Aches For Humanity, My Heart Aches For Myself

My Heart Aches For Humanity, My Heart Aches For Myself

My heart aches for humanity

My heart aches for myself

Lost and helpless

Not knowing what life is all about

Searching for a meaning

Searching for a purpose

Some clinging to a religion, creeds or beliefs 

For any semblance of comfort and reassurance

All beating around the bush

Never quite sure what

Struggling to keep mind, body 

and soul together

In this mundane life

Pretending that life and death 

Are what they are

All that we see

Yet wishing they are not

Is there a future beyond death?

Is there even a beginning in the past?

What the heck,

Religions, creeds and beliefs are no more

than human constructs

To cope with our helplessness

Our ignorance

And therefore, 

Never the answer

Only the questions

Futile and naked

My heart aches for humanity

My heart aches for myself
