The Meaning Of Life

I crawled into a shell
to look for an answer
It was deeper than a well
more painful than a cancer
A mere clear riddle, designed to intrigue
which required no real answer
but perplexed like a league
of misunderstandable understandables;
making the manageable seem unmanageable
It struck me that the meaning
by definition itself
did not do it much justice
and provided no real help
So I looked to the wise men, scholars and on
Left feeling life's a game; I merely a pawn
Then came an answer, which was very misleading
Life's meaning began when I started breathing
So quietly I sat down, bewildered in strife
and commenced contemplating, the meaning of life
