Socrates suggested that “the un-examined life is not worth living.” That was then, and it still ain’t. And here is how now:
She: “Recently been thinking a little about the Meaning of Life …”
He: “Honey, why we don’t we google it?”
Boundless affinity for distraction
in vain attempts to handle it all
knee jerks to superficial attraction
one click away or found at the mall
But to lessen Life’s steady pains
must we not all squarely face
how helplessly our vigor drains
caught in Reckoning’s stern gaze?
while our lives us increasingly perplex
by hi-tech growing evermore complex
