Life is a Comic

By admin on August 7, 2008

Life is a comic…
And we are all characters,
Individually useless,
Collectively destructive…
We live, laugh, and love,
Cry, agonize, and die,
For a reason we know not,
Our souls are all too fraught,
Burdened by intellect,
Weighed down by conscience,
Each step towards the future,
Is a step back into the past,
A year older, a year wiser,
Is also a year nearer to death,
An endless cycle of despair,
Where our characters take shape,
Accumulate persona and wealth,
Love and kinship and family,
Then again back to the dusts,
Into nothingness we go,
Our successes and failures,
Our pleasures and pains,
Are comics of another,
Somewhere beyond human thought,
After a hundred year’s living,
After the pains and pleasures,
We experience in life,
Nothingness becomes our life,
The dusts and sands and debris,
We carelessly stampede upon,
Is what will become of us,
The little flower we crush,
The little bee we squash,
The seemingly emotionless,
Animals we eat, will feast upon us,
Into dirt we become and the little flower,
Absorbs our energy for its growth,
And again we turn into nothingness,
A comic we are, intended for laughter,
Somewhere someone designs our character,
Bestows us the ability to love and care
For one another, but in the end can never
Be together, for pure humor, acts that someone.

    It’s quite interesting how simple life is and just how we interact with nature as a whole. The average human life span seems really short. You spend around 20 years in school and your first five years developing yourself. Most humans only live to about 75 sadly, so you only have two thirds of your life to experience your true self… whereas nature has existed for billions of years… It would be really cool if one day humans can live eternally, like in Tuck Everlasting…
