The Meaning Of Life

You’ll feel it in your soul God blesses

In the earth your skin caresses

In the perfect lines life messes

And those eyes where truth confesses

You’ll hold it in your hands, undress it

Use that pretty head to send the message

You’ll be what saves the wretched

You’ll still what rumbles hectic

Give back what’s been collected

Love what begs to be detested

Free the strains as they try remain arrested

They’ll feel how boredom, with you, is zested


All from the breast where you are nested

They’ll sing and dance in your honour, your name

You’ll eradicate the human trap of shame

When good is done, you’ll get the blame

I’ll stand proud, the mother from which you came

You’ll make exciting from the most lame

Turn labour into game

Squeeze dirt’s abscesses and let them drain

Dissolve like sugar under rain

Above every fireplace you’ll be framed

Loosen white knuckles as they strain

Make Mount Kailash from rice grain

Heal, like He, humanity’s pain


All from the breast where you lay


I find religion in your clutch

Ancient wisdom from tiny touch


History of the world in one pupil spin

From the second you conceived within


I am blessed by every deity

On the sofa, with you asleep, lay on me


Clasp palms to your arms at rib’s

In answer to your question-


What’s the meaning of life?


-It is this.
