Life

No one truly understands why we are here and granted the life that we have and the thoughts of our life mystify us day in and day out whether we think about it or not so tell me what you believe our life is meant for and why we have it what should truly be done with our gift and what our gift means to the world

We do not know why we are here
This is a fact of life
This question has puzzled us
And often leads to strife

Some peoples have invented gods
Who know why for sure
Other groups have different gods
Who’s reasons are obscure

The two groups then must fight
To prove which god is right
These wars go on and on
Without rest or respite

Meanwhile atheists and scientists
Working on a theory
Think we're here by chance
Does that make you cheery?

Sorry had to repost. was having problems with an upload...

The meaning of life is a state of mind
it's a personal tug of war
It means what ever it means to you,
nothing less and nothing more...


We are here because we exist
we are the essence of our earth,
there is only science
from this planet
we are birthed....

Doomed

I hate my life and you should know,
That all seems oh so lost,
I can’t believe I’m going on,
Inside my soul just rots...

My tears won’t stop their journey,
As they stream on down my face,
I can’t stop all this crying,
Why am I in this place...

The loneliness is overwhelming,
Like a knife stuck in my heart,
With all that I have been through,
When will my life start...

Or is this the end to speak of,
Is this the way I’ll die,
Living life in loneliness,
Which leaves me asking why...

What have I done to anger them,
The Spirits of the skies,
Who dance among the treetops,
As above me they still fly...

I search my past for something,
That can explain this fateful gloom,
That has painted the skies so black,
It truly seems my doom...

A tear drop softly glistens,
In the corner of my eye,
They never seem to answer,
And that’s what makes me cry...

There seems to be no future,
It seems to be the bliss,
Of the Gothic Ferries end,
With the first slice in my wrist...

The blood holds all the answers,
As the white sheets turn to red,
Hopefully this pain will end,
As soon as I a dead...

The answers never come to me,
What is it that I did,
Please tell me why you’re angry,
Before you close the lid...

And if you listen carefully,
It’s not the Ferries cries,
It’s me, who whispers from a far,
To the spirits I ask why...

The fear in me subsides,
As my blood is running thin,
I gave to you my heart,
The devils game, he wins...

And I hope that you’ll remember,
That my heart was very true,
Everything I had in life,
I gave it all to you...

Why is it you forsake me,
In this angry place I dwell,
I only hear the voices,
Of those who did not tell...

I’m angry in so many ways,
And I guess your asking why,
How could he be so sad,
Why was it that he cried...

Loneliness takes its toll,
On those the chosen ones,
I’ll never understand,
How my life came so undone...

I once thought that I had it all,
But those thoughts have faded away,
Here is sit in loneliness,
Alone I die in vain...

Really liked this poem. Very well written, with a good argument about a huge part of life.

Life is hard days and long nights.
Life, isn't getting paid and buying ice.
It's about connecting with people
and admitting your wrong, when they're right.

Disconnecting by connecting flights,
to a far away tropical escape.
Using a sharp knife, to cut a piece of fresh cake.
Faking sick, praying for snow days,
then in the summer, play outside in the rain.

Life is love, but it's pain.
It's loss, but it's gain.

I choose to sustain my brain, in hopes to remain on earth, blessed.
It's better to have loved and lost, then have died in vain, worthless.

If you are religious, then you know that life is ours to serve
ourselves, God, and everyone around us
Then, of course, there are random acts of kindness
Those, for others, are just a plus

If you are not religious, then you do not know what life is for
You are selfish, serve no one but yourself, and fear what the future has in store
When you find yourself happy for a day
You do not give thanks, nor do you share with others or go out of your way

Have you ever went out of your way to help another person in need
Or given someone your last dollar to help someone hungry to feed
Do you remember how that felt
To give randomly; it probably made your heart melt

If you live your life ignoring just one inner thought
Because you think that you have to fight for everything you got
You will lose out on why we are all here together on this earth
And why were all given a fresh life at birth

There are indeed people who understand why they are here, and they do not happen to be
filthy rich or endowed with never ending beauty
I want to tell you a little secret; it was taught by nuns in black habits and sturdy shoes
It is part of a plan that they lived by and shared with students who sat on wooden stools

A simple plan, it only gets complicated when you give your life to God
Us regular people can take or leave all of the bible quotes, some of which are odd
If you remember only one thing, you will have the answer and wonder no more
Don’t let your life go to waste, because the creator has much more in store

For those who remain happy and believe that there is a higher power
Rather than waste your days, keep moving, searching, looking for the most beautiful flower
The act of remaining joyful and believing that bad times get better
Is the great gift you can give yourself and others forever

What your life means to the world as a whole
Is answered only by the courageous and bold
The simple act of being connected to others can open up opportunity
And those who grab that, are living proof that there is strength in unity

"There is no path to happiness; happiness is the path"  Buddha

Quiet etherealness
Heaven...?
Sounds like Hell, to me
No soul has ever breached
Take away the flesh
That shits and fucks and blasphemies
Every chance it gets
Take away the human touch
Burned in cleansing fires
Take away what you want
Matters not to me
The spirit yearns to be conjoined
Prisoned; self contained
Every time it's given choice
Eternal life or life on earth
The junkie's quick to jones
Lightning strikes as semen spurts
Papa groans in vain

It just seems, every single time we have a moment, man we humans, only about ourselves,
we go on wishin for bullshit and answers like we still believe in shit like Saint Nick and elves.
But, food, see it aint flyin off the shelves,
government cant do shit about our health,
only control our wealth,
shits goin bad, said the worlds gettin ugly,
people are sad, yeah people growin hungry,
people grow tired, yeah babies get angry.
See i know the truth that apparently others just cant see,
fuck around and tell yall too, yall prolly just hang me,
yall like "no it cant be" well it can be and, see frankly yall should thank me.
smokin on that stanky, i keep my posture lanky, when the key to the city yall hand me.

in god we trust
young and live forever
someday we'll turn to dust
so today dog just never say never.
until we in the earths crust

Teach yourself right.
Preach but dont fight.
Smoke till midnight.

We brought this note back.

So all your plans done fell through?

I learned this from an older me,
our future is cursed.
he said "Go on and sit alone and toke your green,
just see what you worth"
so i told the world "come and sit and smoke with me.
we'll teach and let this good reefer burn."
soon i learned yall just here jokingly.
Yall just tryna smoke and leave, well fool, keep on talkin over me, see what you learn!
