Poem of the day

Post by Jori »

The Purpose of Life

Why are we here? We always ask
Finding that out is quite a task
Why do people need a purpose?
Reasons are many, I suppose

Direction and motivation
Focus and simplification
But some purposes are shallow
You’ll be empty if you follow

Examples are wealth and power
Status, fame will get you nowhere
The purpose that will give you might
Is to always do what is right

Do not live to do what you want
But live to do what’s important
Do good simply for its own sake
And you’ll be fine each time you wake

Once upon a time, I knew this toaster, who desperately wanted to be an easy bake oven. I asked her why she only said, just because.
Which got me thinking exactly how a just because differed from an unjust because. Now, the because part ain't so hard, as it is clearly physical, for every action there is an opposite and equal cousebe. the just part, however took me quite a bit longer to comprehend. Now Aristotle showed his agreement with Plato, when he said, everything which has a function exists for that function. Now, this negates any supposition about pantyhose but does it also include pop tarts, I do not yet know.

I begin to see why some people see that purposes are shallow and others deep, It has to do with the color of the eyes. Some eye colors let more light in, while others move the ball and chain into the living room dragging the furniture down, which is probably because someone thought geese really needed to donate their clothes. So, I hear they are making a vaccine for feathery eyes.

Now wealth and power are relatives, however they are not any relative of mine. Fatus and shame, however, can be countered by using a cargo van instead of a minivan Only watch out for right turns when in New York or Hollywood, those are two places where crack up is legal.

Words, names in of themselves, have no meaning, all meaning resides in the perceptible, and Plato was right is so saying, as we choose, the assignment of names to the named, this is logical, however, geometry is analogical, this is because there is a one to one correspondence between the two elements of a thing, in of itself, and the motion of the hand, or again, human behavior. As all reading is of binary recursion, i.e. every thing we know we know through our own level of literacy, you eventually realize, you are only talking to yourself when you are conversing with God, face to face.
In short, you are always equal to your worst and best self.

Weep the willowing whisper walks
a near felled pretty
but can she take the dripple drop
of puffed up ocean me?
Hand me stick, dear talking cane
and glossy boots not dry
Weep the willowing whisper walks
beside her so may I.

Poetry is often the shallowest kind of self pity.
