the meaning of life

theres hidden meaning everywhere

if you want to look 

deep enough and 

think about life

so now im almost 42

an abstract age

made famous by a brilliant mind 

thirty years ago

so the meaning of life is 42 eh?

or is 42 when you look for

the meaning of life

and begin to wonder..

to qoute the bard

I am in blood stepp'd in so far

that to return would be as tedious

to go o'er

its a one way ticket

its the last man standing

its the eternal joke

and its not always funny

experience or study

control or out of it

fit or fucked

creative or numb

I'm reading a book

about the rise of muslim power 

and the apathy of the west..

asleep at the wheel

I watched a video of Chinese fur farm

animals skinned alive

a haunting image of a skinned beast

raising its head and looking at the camera while it dies

why?

explain it to the cow you just ate

or the dog that became the trimming

on your handbag.

but thats a bit heavy man

what about the good bits

the sunshine after rain

and the innocence of children

Hopkins 

wrote

as the last lights off the black west went

oh the morning at the brown brink eastward springs

for the holy ghost over the bent world broods

with warm heart and bright wings.
