On the first year,
Many said,
I'm better to be lying in bed;
This wrong turn we have taken quick,
Is making my body so damn sick.
On the second year,
Many cried.
It seems the leaders took a wrong side,
And when the subject came to light,
They used their big mouths and lied.
On the third year,
Deserts form,
Changed from good, then bad, then worse.
The plants that rode the sandy waves,
Were forced to end their days in caves.
On the fourth year,
Europe sunk.
And the forests, flooded trunks,
Stole the air straight from the sky;
It seems all life was now to die.
On the fifth year,
The Earth stood still.
The spacial spinning,
Oh, fade the thrill;
6 months of day, 6 months of night;
It seems no doomsday was quite right.
On the sixth year,
Man was sick.
The weakness of their world had hit,
An all time low, and their it stayed.
Their wooden crosses, how they fade.
On the seventh year,
Half the Earth went cold.
So cold in fact,
It reminisced the old.
Yet opposite the greater freeze,
The sun still shone on to please,
Humans who dropped to their knees.
On the eighth year,
The air did thin;
It seemed the Earth was soon to win,
An ancient war against our kinds flaws;
For to long we had broke the laws.
On the ninth year,
The north did fade;
And in the water,
Dead bodies wade.
To float on south to lower shores,
The humans were to lose the war.
On the tenth year,
The living run;
To brand new countries,
Formed out of none;
It was obvious now,
The world had won.
Humankind now weighed a tonne.

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.
