A Human Thing
By: Amber Emmons
"What doesn't kill you, makes you stronger"
At least that's what we're told
But life is hard, it makes you ponder
About the truths untold
The "quest for knowledge is a search for truth"
But how do we decide
What is 'face' and what is 'fiction'
And which of these are right? From children we may grow up strong
And firm in our beliefs
Some may question, some may now
Each have their own relief
What is 'right' and what is 'wrong'?
Why do we exist?
What is the point? Is there one?
And who decides what lives?
S many questions, so many theories
Each with its own merit
To question 'why?', to question 'how?'
Is one thing we all inherit
We find our own way to get through life
To enjoy the ride it brings
I suppose our inquisitive nature
Is just a human thing
