Camus asked, his question A cup of coffee Or death? Because life has no meaning So the absurdists said These actions are equal They mean as much as you decide So why choose death I guess its saying It's no more or less Than life So every day When I wake If I'm feeling, like i normally do I have a cup of coffee Because coffee burns It is bitter Truthfully though It's over quicker Than a noose And why Should I Die? When the universe Will not Cry For me Another insignificant Human life To fork no lightning And to vainly Oh so vainly Rage, as Thomas said Against the dying of the light So instead I strive To be free of my darkness And to live free Live a life so meaningless Yet filled with beauty This I will do.
