    The Meaning of Life...is there one?

    The Meaning of Life

    A question left unanswered, sometimes asked as a joke
    Is there a definite answer? A few people still seem to hope
    Is it a single goal for all? Does it depend on what you believe?
    But why make a mission, that is rarely or never ever achieved?
    Was it conceived by God? Or is it human thought that drives us
    To strive for a distant goal, in which we will never triumph
    Does religion effect this enigma? Or is it a universal code
    Is the answer mathamatical? Or will no one ever know
    How would you determine something, that has no logical basis?
    How can it be the same, for people of different sexes, cultures, and races?
    Throughout history many people, have presented propostitions
    Here are a few of the best, you decide and make a decision

    Hypothesis 1
    The answer is quite simple. it's to live long and with good health
    To prosper happily, and to collect mass ammounts of wealth
    To be looked up to, and have many admirers of all different kinds
    To be better than all others, and intellectually smarter in the mind

    Hypothesis 2
    No, No, No! The answer is quite more simple my friend
    Everyone is quite unique, to each their own end
    You must discover for yourself, find enlightenment deep inside
    Until you find it keep searching, until the day you die

    Hypothesis 3
    Both of you are wrong, the question posed instigates lies
    There is no meaning of life, except to try not to die
    The question provokes people to think this out too in depth
    It's really quite simple, Live. Nothing more, nothing less


    So what do you agree with? Is this an impossible statement?
    Do you find it naturally? Or must you make a payment?
    When was the first time, that this question was ever concieved?
    What do you think? I'll start you out...."I believe............"

    You will peep my link, even if I stopped writing now you would still hit my link.
    You had a nice flow throughout this piece.
    Im not too keen on the way you split it up into so many stanza's.
    Ive never liked the breaks in pieces, your is no different.
    But, it didnt effect the piece too badly, flow-wise.
    Your three hypothesis..
    .. You missed out so many other possibilities.
    You would of been writing forever if you mentioned them all though.
    You did miss out the actual meaning of life though.
    To find love, and live happily with your soul mate.
    That is my opinion.
    There is no wrong answer, really..
    .. Each person decides what the meaning of their life is going to be.
    Not a bad piece.
    You still need to work on a few things.
    Transitions.
    NOT breaking up your verse as often.
    That is pretty much it.
    Everything can always be improved on though.
    Hit the link in my sig.
    Give good feedback, like you have got from me.
    Or I wont be happy!

    Lol.
    Peace.

    Ok this piece was knowledgeable…
    The way it was constructed was very well done..
    Flow wise was good. I had interest ….
    Topic wise it was a little boring only
    Because I am going threw an emotional
    State of anger….and I fade out…however
    Some lines were interesting…like
    “How would you determine something, that has no logical basis?
    How can it be the same, for people of different sexes, cultures, and races?”
    Quote: Lyric.

    Very nice line.
    Anyways nice drop stay
    Elevating.

    peace
