I had this idea that I wanted to create a poem that summed up the whole philosophy of human beings, their history, purpose and future. I wanted it to be monumental, all-encompassing and intricate. I knew that if I could just get the rhythm, rhyme and metre right I could create such a wonder that it would sweep the world and be transformational.
If I could only create a poem of such perfection, power and truth that it would pierce the psyche of anyone who read it, awaken passion and go off with the force of an atomic bomb into the subconscious. I could start a revolution that would alter history.
I would change the world for the better. If it was good enough, pure enough, magical enough, it would create a positive zeitgeist that would sweep all in front of it.
The future would be perfect. If I could describe a purpose for mankind that would grip everyone’s imagination so that anyone who read it was instantly filled with revolutionary fervour to make the world a better place. The poem would detonate in the minds of all who read it and spread round the world like a virus.
This is that poem. The rhyme, metre and scope have been crafted. The logic is so intense it burns into the soul. I think it is going to change the world.
It is the whole purpose for living!
PURPOSE
To gain wisdom;
To create,
And make the world
A better place.
