The Meaning of Life

by Ahri - Aquarius

Pick up your feet and plant them in the sky
A butterfly is a worm's wish to fly
There's reasons for reasons and reasons why
The rain falls down splashing and creates dry

Flowers bury their head in shame
Clowns are afraid to dress the same
Something comes because something came
Guns aren't condemned for where they aim

A book can shine a light into your mind
Understanding is something you don't find
A mutt can't ever be with its own kind
Attention goes to the fruit, not the rind

Boxes are filled to keep things unseen
No one can know where the air has been
Fill an empty doorway with a screen
No being has the right to be mean

Fish laugh and swallow the bait
Clocks are not allowed to wait
Lightning doesn't go down straight
Boundaries make up a state

Police pay for what they make a crime
Sit in a forest and watch it mime
An idea passes the test of time
Why do poems usually rhyme?

Reason for writing:

    I started out with the first couple of lines..and just went from there..making up lines that rhymed.  And since none of it really fit together and sorta didn't make sense..I called it the meaning of life..because no one really knows..or at least that's what everyone thinks.
