Listening from the edge of town,
The iron curtain, frozen frowns;
The crack of guns and bombs and screams,
It seems the men have picked their teams.
The prejudice, how far and wide;
An obvious tip to those that tried,
To rid the world of evils past,
This virus found a place to last;
To waste away the years of good,
To keep asleep the ones that would,
Find solace in the victims pain,
Would sit and laugh as they went insane.
War is the day in human head,
When reason is put to sleep in bed,
When kindness is put second too,
The violence men enjoy to do,
Through a misled sense of staying free;
Unnecessary necessity.
Men dream that one day life will be,
A world of happy harmony,
Yet they find war in trivial cause;
Some evil urge to break the laws.
Maybe one day men will see,
To fight wars does not make them free,
But peace will always keep the mind,
Clear and open, free to find,
The truth that life is far from blind.
No single person can be right,
So keep the peace, avoid the fight;
And man will reach a brand-new height.

The world is meaningless,
there is no God or gods, there are no morals, the universe is not moving inexorably towards any higher purpose.
All meaning is man-made, so make your own, and make it well.
Do not treat life as a way to pass the time until you die.
Do not try to "find yourself", you must make yourself.
Choose what you want to find meaningful and live, create, love, hate, cry, destroy, fight and die for it.
Do not let your life and your values and your actions slip easily into any mold, other that that which you create for yourself, and say with conviction, "This is who I make myself".
Do not give in to hope.
Remember that nothing you do has any significance beyond that with which you imbue it.
Whatever you do, do it for its own sake.
When the universe looks on with indifference, laugh, and shout back, "Fuck You!".
Rembember that to fight meaninglessness is futile, but fight anyway, in spite of and because of its futility.
The world may be empty of meaning, but it is a blank canvas on which to paint meanings of your own.
Live deliberately. You are free.
