There is no reason!

Life is all rather arbitrary,
we live , we die,
and every time an old person
croaks it...
a whole library of information
goes up with it, yep,
a whole library burning down,
and maybe that’s why
the North American Indians
had something -
up in smoke?
Sorry maybe that was
Cheech and Chong.

Very interesting poem. I guess we all do die and try to make history for ourselves.

cheech and and chong....
"hey man you're scratching my record"
there is humor in this, but also a serious side...when i think of the native americans and how their lives went up in smoke because of our egos.

Or as Keith Richards has stated, he had his dad cremated and snorted the ashes. Let Cheech and Chong top that.
A fun one Andrew and yet it requires some sober thought...so if I can find a sober friend we can discuss it.
Thanks for the laugh Andrew. ;>}
