Life

by Boxer Wyze


"The meaning of life?" is a question oft heard,
but what is the meaning of "life" the word?

Life for the average living thing
Is a series of actions required to sustain
the process of life itself... a bit mundane,
as definitions go
but there's more, much more,
as I'm sure you must know.

So, on with it, what is "life" for a man?
A man's not like other life forms, understand.
Where other life adapts, He creates and makes change
to the very environment he lives in, 'tis strange!

He must think to exist and create to survive
and in mastering these two things, He's alive!

A better thing to ponder than "the meaning of life,"
if you use your logic like a razor sharp knife
is to ask, as I learned in a book by Ayn Rand,
"What is the PURPOSE of YOUR life," my friend?
