...a Brief Discussion of the Meaning of Life
Two brothers, hand in hand - bright, how they did fly!
Sneaking past us like soldiers, camouflaged in the sky
Darting by Luna whose eyes she averts
Whipping whence gone; the emptiness hurts
Though vast is this vaccuum, its void hangs wide
Tenderly cradling the vast universe inside
But the world's never noticed us - nor we the world saw
Without the lens of Greed, or the madness of Law
How hard to measure your soul against the sea
Much less great black holes, too far away to see
And still yet, we forget, in our moments of pride
That the ticket we found was for just one free ride
So each reminder, blazing white-hot through the night
Of how easy it would be, and how helpless the plight
Should the skies rain down fire, or aliens, or stone
For our kind to be eradicated, the earth left alone
How effortless, how quick, we'd never stand a chance
The universe wouldn't even give a second glance
But! - not to say that the gods wouldn't care
They'd simply never notice that we weren't there.
