All the meeples gathered in front of the Great Question Mark sitting with their heads bowed to ponder if life has any inherent meaning or purpose.  Their lives seemed meaningless, and it was almost like they were being used as a playing piece in a board game, being pushed around and told what to do, and where to go by some random throw of the dice.  Was this their place in the universe, or was there more to life?  These meeples were the renowned thinkers of their time, but they still felt like they were searching in the dark for meaning and since God never revealed how the story will end, they were left blind, waiting for something to shine the light on them.  Aquinas, Aristotle, Confucius, Dante, Descartes, Kant, Locke, Nietzsche, Pascal, Plato, Socrates, and Voltaire all gathered around in a circle looking for good, truth, and beauty that…

The questions in life seem unending
When one is solved, the other appears.
Is this how life is supposed to be?
Am I sad to be thinking about life’s purpose?
Is my mind wondering?
Am I overthinking? Am I depressed?

Ahh!! More questions and no answer!!
And my futile life continues…

Peace can be found

If only we try

To save our planet

Look to the sky

Look after our oceans

Environment, then peace

Will reign supreme

If we’re not careful

We’ll wipe out our planet completely

If we want to see our world thrive

Not only thrive but survive

We must mind each other

Our animals

And our oceans

Peace can be found

Only when we work together

As a team

United as one.

Inspired by Reena’s Exploration Challenge #268 & Moonwashed Weekly Prompt – Sweetheart

a kaleidoscope of questions
forces discussion of private matters

who can i sleep with
what makes a woman
who may i love
what makes a man
why are bathrooms controversial

can’t everyone just mind their own business
i just want to be able to call you my sweetheart

A circle of the brightest students of their age, sat in a circle, engrossed in their note pads. Thinking about what they could do to save the planet from its certain doom. Their colour, changing from one idea to another, their thoughts were as one.

If one teenager had an idea, the other would write it down. If their ideas were the same, their colours would match. A creative circle it was called by their teacher, where they all wore head sets.

Young minds, with so much to share, and at least one of them might have a solution to the lack of oxygen in the world. There were air bubbles, yes. Pockets, like electricity, you had to pay for. For some, time wasn’t their friend.

The National Health no longer viable, the poorest of the earth’s inhabitants died.

‘I have an…

The prompt;

I won’t say anything… just leaving you alone with your questions and thoughts on the picture.

➰➰➰

They all sat

To deliberate

On the big

Question

❓❓❓

Heads in their hands

Wrinkles on the brows

Thinking hard

Trying to find

The answer

❗️❗️❗️

It is perhaps

Too late to take any action

To unite the divided humanity

To fix the broken trust and connections

⁉️⁉️⁉️

Please

Don’t give up

You are the

Last hope

Time (A Flash Fiction)

it was 15 minutes past 6:00 in the evening. in that moment, i realized how beautiful the night sky was. it brought so much beauty like no other time of the day. the only sound was the wind whistling through trees along the busy street of the university belt, with the occasional honking of the car here and there. the city light became so melancholic that it was difficult not to ultimately be sad while looking at the night sky. and then, as i looked up, i saw a sight like no other a brightly shining full moon, a sea of ​​tiny stars surrounding it, and a sky all around, covered with blackness, speckled with beauty.

but this beauty does not come without a cost. yes, the night offers the magical sights of a starry night sky. still, it also means that the day has…
