Our Silly Ending
Once upon a time your existence began.
You grew up with two that raised you for a time
Until they let you go figure out the meaning of man.
You learned not much about the meaning but found a rhyme
That turned to your own heartstrings and avoided the question that had begun
At the start of the poem that can never be sung
From the mouths of man that say that they are together as one
And realized that nothing matters to the question that had begun
Unless you give it a reason and an answer to teaching to the young
Of man´s children who will recite the meaningful or meaningless song at the end of their tongue.
And this meaningful or meaningless song will be sung
For the nature of man that had never begun
Until the silly end of your existence will gong
And your life here on this meaningless or meaningful planet will be gone.
