no purpose that i can see
no reason at all
don’t see how it lives
in the petri dish called earth
 
 
was called here out of nowhere
a handful of cosmic atoms
strung mysteriously together
what could they amount to
 
 
by some random chance
a gem
a rock
a car
a clock
 
 
a virus
a shrub
a tree
a club
 
 
a dog
a fool
a whale
not you
 
 
how does it come
that i am as i be
just an surge
in the cosmic circutry
 
 
random and lost
your life matters not
 
 
be you a great rich fool
or a noble poor
leave it to time
all is forgot
 
 
sweat dips down your side
your life seems so unique
and though they may say its true, dont beleive it
 
 
put it in perspective, an inerstellar critique
 
 
all this is,...meaningless...
