The Point of Life - Original Poetry

in #poetry7 years ago

This is a collaboration between myself and Mary-Jane







So tell me then, what is the point of life?
Is it really all about just finding a wife?
Settle down, have a couple kids, maybe more,
Go to work, earn money, come home sore?

Buy shit, loads of shit, you have to do that,
iPhone, new clothes, cool stuff for your flat.
Don't forget your taxes, you can't forget those,
Pay them without question, who cares where the money goes?

You've made it now, the perfect iteration of a man,
You have a house and family that you do for what you can.
So why then does your life still feel so incomplete?
Because the cunts who wrote the guide on life, they left out a sheet.

Well it just so happens that sheet landed right next to my leg,
So let me tell you now, my friend, exactly what it said.
It said the point in life is backwards thinking, life itself is the point,
If you fail to understand this then yourself you'll disappoint.

For when you know the point of life is life then you will comprehend,
Every moment of your time on Earth, you should wisely spend,
There's a purpose out there for each of us, we need only choose,
You can let the state of the world defeat you, or you can allow it to be your muse.
