Purpose Poems
Life
by Sihle Mjobo
Birth, life and death
The knowledge of this earth
Neither before nor after present
Following their select ascent
Part pursuing purpose
As sole intent
Part pursuing pleasure
Till life is spent

The Carnival
by Richard Randolph
There are no immovable objects,
nor are there unstoppable forces,
but there are objects we can't move,
and forces we can't stop,
and questions we can't answer,
so purpose becomes the paradox.
My mind contains all of the world,
and my thoughts and feelings, too,
but to say the world contains us
is at least equally as true.

Life and Misery
by Safi A
Arising with a flicker of hope
Desperate attempts at perfection
Failing, falling deeper with each leap
Only to fade into oblivion
Seeking futile validation, for the sense of dignity
Replacing dream with duty, for the prize of power
Bittersweet memories forging the journey
Is there a purpose, I ponder

Hope of a Child
by Kailey Norris
The mindset of hope and of a child are much alike,
as if true serenity and innocence are connected.
The comfort of a child in their mother's arms is what we long for inside ourselves,
a sense of safety and peace within our own body.
Treat every moment like you are still a child,
Cherish the most insignificant things in life.
Put that shiny rock in your pocket, it may be gold!
With thought, the smallest thing can bring peace and understanding to a life.
Every tiny aspect of nature is a beauty.

Things Hard to Understand
by Richard Randolph
A love letter no one reads,
a strange man no one needs,
a seed dropped upon the sand,
a starving child in a barren land--
Why trees reach toward the sky,
and grown men forget how to cry,
why a bird sings to its mate,
though she's gone and it's too late--

Purposefully
by Arvin Dassad
Wake,
feel the sheets,
no,
truly feel them,
that first breath,
the one that woke you,
the one that carries you, unequivocally,
without question,
it holds you,
suffer in ignorant bliss, you know not what comes ahead,

Hope or Hoax
by Mayank Nirala
I contemplate why you came into my life.
Is there a reason!
Why do I feel a relevance
Why do you remind me of me
What purpose do you hold
Why do I want you to have one
Are you a ray of hope
Or Is this a hoax

You are among the chosen ones/Ти серед обраних (Ukrainian)
by Halyna Myroslava
ти серед обраних
мішенню бути
ціль
знайдуть причини
ті що їх шукають
котрих щось інше не відволікає
яка різниця їм
де й чим
живеш та дихаєш
мішень ти
