Beetles on the floor

Wandering as I have
With my little black shell
Through tiles instead of blocks
Streetlights and clocks

Their journey seems similar to mine
Lost but not lost
Perusing to find
Motiveless divine

Due to the lack of understanding
My path may seem pathless
Perception is controlling
Knowledge will set you free

Over the false slate tile they roam
On the floors of fast food restaurants 
They have no propagation so it seems
Existence is all that holds their seams

What do you know? 
You cannot read their mind
You know not if they have one
We look at them as God looks at us

They're sentient and aware
They must have some goal worth living for
God must think we're all 
Just as beetles on the floor
