“The meaning of life” Life’s not fair or always easy, the only thing constant is change. There’s a mighty fine line between pain and pleasure, our leaders and the criminally insane. One days love the next days despair, hope quickly fades to depression. This too shall pass so fate kiss my ass, least wise that’s my impression. Live like it's your last day... |

Bbent, a nice write and the subject we have for this months writers group. Here is my impression of the same subject. THE MEANING OF LIFE. Of this I often ponder, how act did give no say From nothing to a ball of flesh, just only months away Genetics slowly blooming deep within a giving womb Born to world of push and rush, where need does come too soon All virgins we, to first drawn breathe, to touch of love and pain Then growing up with bitter facts, to truth of man’s domain Pushed into a cycle that casts each morn and night Reflecting love or sins or hate as foe or family might We’re brought here by the yearning of a female and her mate Result of love, then born to life, to meet ones time and fate Born to wealth or poverty, to they who’ve sown their seed The produce of a time of lust, where two had met their need We grow to adolescence, in world that’s filled with hate To share life on a planet that well will see our fate We live on trust, on hope and faith, entrust our life to give Achievements through each struggle and good health as we live Life, a given sentence, of test till death does come Where fortune shares a little luck and joy till day is done Life it is a giving, a miracle we share Where voice of love keeps calling all, to give life everywhere The basic meaning’s simple, we live to just survive Struggling through the ups and downs which makes us feel alive We face the given challenges, which nature does create Doing as our spirit guides, till life does well abate Sincerely Rick |

lol..I don't know so much that it conquers the meaning of life, but it does state your stand on it quite effectively.  enjoyed...Your storm of assumption feeds anger I am calm enough to hold inside. Don't pretend to know me if you've never put stretched out your heart with since |
