Paradox Of Life


Jim Colyer

Recommended Posts

Standing at my mother's grave
Tears flowing like water
Her life ended in failure
Defeated, crushed forever

Preacher said to celebrate
Celebrate my mother's life
Only thing he's celebrating
Is another pay day

The Paradox Of Life
Born to die
Still we question
Why why why

The Paradox of life
Where's the purpose
What's the reason
We should die

Hamlet peering at the skull
Poor Yorick! I knew him, Jim
A man of infinite jest
I sure hope he's in heaven

He carried me on his back
We laughed until our sides hurt
How hideous he looks now
His bones rotting in the dirt

The Paradox Of Life
Born to die
Still we question
Why why why
The Paradox of life
Where's the purpose
What's the reason
We should die

New Horizons at Pluto
Looking back on ourselves
3 billion miles from our earth
From here we're invisible

Could it be we're just scum
Floating on a grain of sand
Or do we even exist
This illusion we call man

The Paradox Of Life
Born to die
Still we question
Why why why
The Paradox of life
Where's the purpose
What's the reason
We should die

      You could have been forgiven for missing the announcement that actual physical Burning Man has been canceled for this year, if not next. Firstly, the nonprofit Burning Man organization, known affectionately to insiders as the Borg, posted it after 5 p.m. PT Friday. That, even in the COVID-19 era, is the traditional time to push out news when you don't want much media attention. 
      But secondly, you may have missed its cancellation because the Borg is being careful not to use the C-word. The announcement was neutrally titled "The Burning Man Multiverse in 2020." Even as it offers refunds to early ticket buyers, considers layoffs and other belt-tightening measures, and can't even commit to a physical event in 2021, the Borg is making lemonade by focusing on an online-only version of Black Rock City this coming August.    Read more...
