The Futility of Our Actions

Back

Why do people laugh?

Why do people cry?

Why do people live,

When they know they’re going to die?

Why do I laugh?

It isn’t even funny, I feel no joy

And yet I still laugh.

Why do I cry?

My tears can change nothing,

And yet I still cry.

Why do I try when I know I’ll fail?

Trying is the first step towards failure,

I don’t want to fail.

And yet because I don’t try,

I have already failed.

Why do I live when I know I’ll die?

Life ends in death,

There is no avoiding that.

And yet because I don’t live,

I am already dead.

My existence is trivial,

I mean nothing to this world.

We can change nothing,

Victory does not exist, only failure.

In the end,

Everything we have done,

Makes no difference at all.
