My name is nothing!
My fate is death!
That what is real
No more, no less.

It doesn't matter
The way I live
For my existence's
So short, so brief.

The only question,
Which still makes sense
Is "How this nonsense
is gonna end?"

Why bother...

Why Bother...

No more, no less.

It doesn't matter

So short, so brief.

The only question,
Which still makes sense
Is "How this nonsense

I quite liked it, the rhyming didn't seem too forced and it can relate to many people.

I really like your first stanza, it has really great metaphors in it. Especially "my name is nothing."

This poem is short and sweet, which is a good thing because you stay on topic.

Anyways in reference to the question you ended with, I try not to preach at people so I'll just say this. You probably won't find the meaning of life if you aren't looking. Look in the places you never thought of looking. If you wanna talk to me about it just PM me.

keep writing, keep hoping

"To him that holds out HOPE belongs the world"!.

After reading this my sweet friend, I almost was tempted to post my version, on the subject, but Pazienza!

The above quotation is from Fr. Pierre Teilhard de Chardin S.J.

"To him that holds out hope belongs the world."

Ah so many reaching out for this commodity and get it.
You too dear friend.
Love and peace

It may make some sense yet, then it won't be such a nonsense, and we'll pray that it never ends.
