The Meaning of Life

i personally believe that the meaning of life is to learn how to be a human. to live your life, putting pieces of the puzzle together as you go. to go about each day as if it were your last.

we live our meaningless lives stranded in agony.

what is life? - better yet, what's the purpose of searching for a meaning? "who are we?" "where did we come from?" what the f**k does it matter? why do we turn to the past to dictate the future? 2012? a calender. the rapture? religious bull. i'm not even trying to justify this yet.

what have we done? what can we do? can we still breathe? what have we come to? you are all miserable f***s. life just sucks.

wasted sperm - sex sells to children too young to partake in the action. birth control. insured abortion. we live our lives through our c***s. if life means so much in the eyes of god, why are we allowed to waste it? proof god is a lie. proof you should all shut up and live your pathetic lives without contimplation. you're a waste of sperm, i should have made your mother swallow.

what have we done? what can we do? can we still breathe? what have we come to? you are all miserable f***s. life just sucks.

Author's Note

dear world,

i personally believe that the meaning of life is to learn how to be a human. to live your life, putting pieces of the puzzle together as you go. to go about each day as if it were your last, picking up wisdom along the way. i think that if you sit back and let life unfold naturally it will all make sense in the end. you and i both know that no one, not even a god, can tell you what is best for you, so quit all that religious dribble and life your life the way YOU see fit...and stop all that half-assed life contemplation because no one gives a fuck.

sincerly,
M@

Interesting piece. The cynicism is the first thing stand out from this. You have a good voice but the anger overshadows a little too much. Tighten this up and the piece will be stronger. This doesnt mean "get rid of the profanity", I think the a couple swear words in here helps the piece. I enjoy the fact that you don’t capitalize the words in your poetry. I do this as well in my own poetry.

thanks. this was a free-verse poem i turned into a song. i guess i kinda lost it a little and allowed my anger to overtake my thoughts. i apologize for the awkwardness of my lyrics. as for capitalization, i don't feel as though it is entirely necessary. it's not a grammatical error... well i guess it is, but my point still comes across. you still understood what i meant and it didn't take anything away from the meaning.
