A Mind Is Just A Piece Of Meat Poem by Mathew Lewis

A Mind Is Just A Piece Of Meat

Rating: 2.7


We look for meaning in many things,
Hope for something that life might bring.

But poetry's just a bunch of words,
And love is just a feeling.

Everyday we wake up, a world within a world,
Hoping we'll find more meaning in a verb.

But words are just imaginings,
And feelings are just a symphony of thoughts.

We drink, laugh, have a good time, or at least try,
But in the end two words matter; Good bye.

And imaginings are just the product of a mind,
And thoughts are just a whim gone wild.

Existence, a facade we do our best to forget,
But all it ever means is that we live with regret.

And a mind is just a piece of meat.
And a whim is something we'll never get.

I daresay most of us have felt this way, and more than once throughout life. Well-expressed, Mathew... What did I read once (bear with me) ? In order to be happy, a person needs something to love, something to do and something to believe in. Love, Action, Purpose. The second can be the sticking point, true - but not necessarily forever. Mind as meat? Nah - that's the brain, my friend. Write on, Mathew...
