Maybe
The age-old question about
A tree falling in the woods
With no ears to hear it
Making or not making a sound
Comes out of a fear
At least a deep subconscious fear
That this individualistic life
We live
Alone
In solitude
Selfishly
Does not matter
Is not Significant
Will not be seen or heard
With no community around
To see or hear it
Maybe
Our fear is that
We are the trees
Silently falling
In the wilderness of
Our own constructed isolation
Maybe
The question we are trying to ask is
If a life is lived
Alone
In solitude
Selfishly
With no one there to see or hear it
Will it matter?
Will we matter?
