Wordpress Shortcode in functions.php - php

Question

I'm trying to create a shortcode to display blogs using this code in the functions.php file, I copied it from the blog template.
When I use the shortcode in a wordpress post, it isn't displaying the blogs as I want them to. Is it because of the php tags inside of the html?
function wpse_143641_homebox_shortcode( $atts ) {
return <<<HOMEBOX
<div id="primary" class="content-area">
<main id="main" class="site-main" role="main">
<div class="container blog">
<div class="row">
<div class="col-md-8 col-md-push-2">
<?php
$temp = $wp_query; $wp_query= null;
$wp_query = new WP_Query(); $wp_query->query('posts_per_page=6' . '&paged='.$paged);
while ($wp_query->have_posts()) : $wp_query->the_post(); ?>
<article id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>>
<?php the_post_thumbnail(); ?>
<div class="entry-meta">
<?php neue_posted_on(); ?> by <?php the_author(); ?>
</div><!-- .entry-meta -->
<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</article>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php if ($paged > 1) { ?>
<nav id="nav-posts">
<div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Posts'); ?></div>
<div class="next"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Posts »'); ?></div>
</nav>
<?php } else { ?>
<nav id="nav-posts">
<div class="prev"><?php next_posts_link('« Previous Posts'); ?></div>
</nav>
<?php } ?>
</div> <!-- /.col-md-8 -->
</div> <!-- /.row -->
<?php wp_reset_postdata(); ?>
</div> <!-- /.container -->
</main><!-- #main -->
</div><!-- #primary -->
HOMEBOX;
}
add_shortcode( 'homebox', 'wpse_143641_homebox_shortcode' );
