Musings
To be, live, and think;
To die, of the millions before.
Though, in reflection,
Who will ever know?
Perhaps a great-granddaughter-
'Mom, how did they live like that?'
Or; perhaps; a school paper
-a family tree-
"ancient history",
Is that what it is,
to be, or think
to live never to die?
To think, of this time?
We've seen it all.
Past, present and future;
History repeats.
Sometimes, though;
Is there no progress?
Maybe it happens,
that we live as we lived before,
as we live tomorrow.
Is that all one life?
Life repeats.
Happiness, but
-the hunger of the impoverished-
and a loaf of bread,
a piece of steak,
to whom means so much?
the overindulgence
of those who want
more than the world has to offer.
Happiness indeed.
To have… is to want
to need… is to hope
Hope, the meaning of
happiness true.
Do dreams come true?
Though nightmares;
the soul's secrets;
Did no one ever ask,
if they come true?
falling, falling,
the monster under the bed,
is as real as it can be made.
The truth:
To you,
well,
What is it you want?
Then again,
to seek brings
the realization
there is no answer
and nothing more.
The meaning of life?
of course;
to play Guitar Hero,
and listen to indie hip-hop,
in bed, with
the lights dimmed nearly black.
There is a meaning to that;
so that must be it.
There is a meaning to
a child's fascination
with his (or her)
spinning mobile.
That's it too!
Can it be true:
The existential question
is answered by infinity?
So they say
that every molecule
-or maybe atom-
of the human body
is replaced every
three- or is it ten?
lets settle on eight-
years.
So that must mean-
at 40 years old-
A person has been
not one- but five
people in one lifetime?
It's possible
that we have, perhaps,
even more lives
than allotted to
a cat.
Who knows?
