Life makes no sense
Death makes even less
I don't know why we're here
Don't know what we are
Some speak about God
But there's no such thing
Others speak of evolution
Part of an animal kingdom
Are we viruses with brains
With binocular vision
With opposable thumbs
Standing on two legs
Speaking diverse languages
Words that have no meaning
Outside our own cultures
Just sounds and symbols
I have one more decade
One final last chapter
Then eternal oblivion
Like I never existed
I used to really care
Now it's so irrelevant
I'll live out my life
Knowing that it's Pointless!
I think of the beatniks
Of the lost 1950s
Popping fingers in coffee shops
And reciting nonsense
Maynard G. Krebs
You remember Dobie Gillis
Uncle Jed in Cat Ballou
Pointless!
