What Is The Meaning Of Life? Poem by Joshua Adewumi

It takes a second to be born
Minutes to grow
Hours to mature
And as the sun sailed down the sea
That second it takes to say goodbye.

An inch from a mile
A dropp from an ocean
A day from eternity
So quick it ran by
As his shadow flew the dial.

Dropped raw
Cooked in the agitation
Ready to be eaten
Gulped down into its belly
Back to where it came from.

So large but hollow
Short but blunt
Unable to slice through
Even if there is a meaning.
