What is our being?
Why are we here?
Do we get to take a step further?
Are we coming near?
Do we smile now
And nod our heads to agree?
Is that the way we succeed
In contemporary society?
Does having the same thoughts
And aspirations intend
To make us individuals
Of which we heartily defend?
We're all just running in circles
Not sure of our direction
Hoping to meet up with it
Under conservative protection.
13th January 1980

Interesting questions in the first three stanzas with the fourth delivering a rather definitive statement, thought the poem ends without a conclusion.
Perhaps just one more stanza letting me know where we actually go after we have been metaphorically corralled by conservative protection?
