Some people say
Life would have no meaning
If we lived forever;
Others among us say
Life would have meaning
If we did.
2
The meaning of life
Is like the rings running circles
'Round a tree trunk.
If you remember back
On your last trip
To the natural history museum,
The best tree sections
Have pins on their rings:
Mayflower arrives in America;
Declaration of Independence;
Civil War ends;
Man walks on the moon.
3
Wouldn't it be something
To not konk out
And see rings tagged
Race wars end;
Israel and Palestine merge;
Poverty eliminated;
The return of Jesus;
And alien diplomats arrive?
