A Riddle: What is the meaning of life?
Rife with answers, the clue is the question
itself, as only humans use language
demonstrating a need to make common
desires to communicate the shared
life within each body, within each mind
empty without social interaction
What is the meaning of life? For some, tea
however others prefer their coffee
as the common ingredient, water
tastes bland but is the key to life on Earth
in turn to ask what is life and wherefore
such archaic words and ideas still float
to great heights, as a helium balloon
hovering higher and higher to reach
each moment, lack of pressure, expands
measurements designate what is unknown
each being seeks limits before they burst
ascending nine thousand meters, as high
notwithstanding vast internal pressure
if to scale Mt. Everest with the cold
not pronounced as Sir George Everest would say
given names ground arbitrary nature
order and randomness, complete chaos
followed by anarchy and destruction
life lived for revolution or mundane
incoherent work towards suffering
for a greater good whether that be golf
exactly puts the question in context
