Going Somewhere is Human
Going somewhere is human
Even if you are going nowhere
Going somewhere is human,
Even if the scope of the Universe
Is going nowhere in particular
Going somewhere is human;
Going somewhere is ideal
Even when going somewhere
Is meaningless in the grand scheme,
Going somewhere is about
Having a goal, any goal
And going there is good like health-food;
Going somewhere is like
Having some ice-cream
It begins to feel good during
The process of eating it
And eating it becomes
A human and unique experience;
Going somewhere is human
As much as going somewhere
Is going through life anyway,
But having a course and a plan
Is not so bad, Man,
It’s not so bad, Man;
Going about anyway like hurling
Universe she is going about
Anyway,
She is is the Hurling Universe,
At any second it could all end
No matter, we are traveling;
Going somewhere is like
Pulling the wool over your own eyes
And the emptiness after all
Is not so bad and the
Indifferent, ambivalent is just,
It is just… justice.
Purport
We might be headed for the great end as nihilists. We might be headed for heaven. We might be headed for all. All at the speed of living someone else ideas. We become human by heading somewhere with a goal in mind. We reluctantly start to feel happiness. We no longer question the happiness. It is ours. Happiness is a hand we have always had. Going somewhere is human, Man.
