A Higher Purpose

Does life have a "meaning" in "meaningful" terms?

Let's take a tin opener to that can of worms.

Sub-human creatures don't need to devine

why they should do more than extend their line.

No cerebral musings do they introduce

to the bio-imperative "let's reproduce".

But for sentient beings there has to be more.

The wish to serve Jesus lies deep in the core.

To keep His Commandments and reject mortal sin

should "mean" that the loss of life's really a win.

The purpose of this life's to set up the next.

Survival alone is a shallow pretext.
