Free Souls

What is the purpose of life,
can anyone tell me?
This is the ultimate question
yet none can answer
Is there a higher purpose to fulfill
we have not yet understood
Or are we mere playthings for an unseen deity
A malevolent puppeteer
controlling our every move
Gloating in rapturous glee
by the misery caused by it’s hands
Reflect upon this;
Are we truly free souls?
Or just puppets at the end of a string...
