Life
What is the meaning?
here is the irony
we spend our lives
searching for the answer
when the answer
was so simple all along
live
while you can
to complicate such a
simple idea
is a disgrace to mankind's
intelligence
a child's eyes are
pure
see our world through
the innocence
simplicity is the lock
living is the key
do not become
the walking dead
searching
for philosophical answers
which are the chains
dragging you down
into the sea
of misery live
to the fullest
in all that you do
while you still can
Stop
Asking
Why.
