Existential questions (Other) by kawakurdi
Don’t press me hard, I don’t have much to impress What exists more, exists even less What IS IS NOT, What IS NOT IS It is the question of hours and days Relativity is Absolute, Absolute is Relative And Eternity is beyond the living formative Rational analysis is not life analysis Man is not the sole life-form axis Earth is not the sole entity of universe All what is there is not the invisible necklace There is no ladder, no Adam, no Eve But Water, Fire, Sand, and Air to retrieve 1/1000000000000 and less is our contemporary knowledge Man himself is a riddle in his own cage Live for life, like a lame duck Don’t moan for a loss, delight in luck A trivial advice this is too I know Pain is the mirror of this life so Unity of contradiction or disunity Is the essence of all eventuality Just take it as a game, a game it is With not much joy as the result is amiss

Up the ladder: Panama
Down the ladder: Front Range Toll Road

Interesting, but some of your rhymes are really forced.

Forced rhyme helps drive it well.

Thanks Jason. Forced rhymes come from the difficulty of putting a philosophical question in verse but they help to reflect the gravity of the task.

Then it is imperative that you continue to force rhymes lest the reader fails to grasp the gravity of what you are doing.

None of these lines are actually questions. I'd change the title. Or just insert questions marks more or less at random for a neat question-y effect. For example:

Relativity is Absolute? Absolute is Relative?
And Eternity is? beyond the livi?ng formative.

Questions simply means issues, matters, concerns

No it doesn't.

And please explain how any of your "issues, matters, and concerns", posted above, in any way answer my existential question, reigning concern, and whemied matter, posted below.

Incidentally, the best existential question ever is: When the Lord finally lets fly that last great trump he's been whemying for 2000 million years, will we remain in possession of our ears long enough to hear it and fall to the ground under the force of its too-many-parted harmonies, or will we instantly be turned into souls, to be blown this way and that by the terrible and everlasting gusts of wind that follow?
