Poetry The Beauty of Nihilism

[Daisie]

The world has become bleak
And ever so dark
Depressingly chic
As it makes its mark

It's polluted with sorrow
Hanging in the air
All we have is tomorrow
All trapped in despair

Life couldn't care less
How you feel about it
About your success
Or if you're chomping at the bit.

All will end eventually
But suddenly there's a change in pace
... Maybe our temporary existence...
Is what makes life beautiful in the first place.

We're all so meaningless, breathtakingly rare
We've made so many things, so how can you not stare?
Yes, life is short, so I think you SHOULD care.
Because soon it'll all go away, and that should keep you square.

So what if it's all for nothing?
As I said, life doesn't give a crap.
It's YOUR decision whether it has meaning
Or whether you give it a bad wrap.

Life can't care whether you're happy or sad
If it's REALLY of no consequence in the end...
Give up the sorrow and be glad.

Live for today
In a careful way
Because eventually you won't stay
And that's something...
Only a fool would throw away.
