Paradox of Life

We know how to build Bridges across the seas
But we for sure do not know how to bridge our Gaps
We know how to reach the Moon up above the sky
But we for sure dread to cross the Street nearby.

We talk Aloud and Clear without a Doubt
But are we not unclear in our own Thoughts?
We have Material Richness for Others to envy
But we show no Richness in our Thoughts or Deeds.

We proclaim from our Roof Tops "Live and Let Live"
But Recourse to street fight for a trivial cause
We take pride of our Scitech Finds but Little do
we realise our Ignorance of the life beyond.

I sometimes pause and ask myself
Is this paradox of our own making?
Or is it destined by God with some purpose behind?
If it be,for what purpose, Pray,Can any one tell?
