L.O.V.E.

Rich people say that wealth is not important, that it's meaningless.

I say it becomes meaningless once after you have it.
That if you don't, it has such a great meaning.

Popular people say that fame only brings about loneliness.
I say that no-fame is even lonelier, that life is solitary after all.

Powerful people say that power fades away so soon,
that it betrays you much more than it praises you.
I say that's an arrogant and hypocrite comment,
an insult to the demoralized powerless common.

Great looking people say that appearance is tricky,
that a sincere inner beauty is what really counts.
Then, why are you pouring so much on your externalities
even knowing you can't ever win the flying time?

Intellectuals say that knowledge never comforts,
that it conducts you to the road of depression.
But I bet they will never trade their miserable depression
for ignorance, not even for happy ignorance.

And I say again, it's funny, really funny
that although all of them are value-free
you so firmly believe in them when you don't have them,
and that they only become meaningless once after you conquer them.
That I have to have them
to fully experience to realize their meaninglessness.

And I say again, it's stupid, really stupid
that you live your whole life in pursuit of the meaninglessness
just to validate at the end what you already know
and regret for not having what's meaningful.
You will controversially reckon your misinterpretation on life
but you won't give up the meaninglessness you so hardly got.

So you laugh at your funny life and your stupid self.
You start wondering
what transcends all this,
what has eternal meaning,
what makes your life indeed beautiful.

And you smile, just smile
because you found the truth,
the only right answer,
fair to anyone,
open and easy to all.
