The Whole

Maybe life’s not all about wrong or right

Because there’s no single way to live it right

 

I’m tired of all the ingenious advice

“Live life like this, you can’t do it twice”

 

Well, I think you’ve got it all wrong

And I don’t want to hear one more song

 

Telling me don’t have regrets or make mistakes

And the smiles we wear are all just fakes

 

Because no one can live without regrets

And everyone in life has their own kind of debts

 

Stop telling me there’s one rule to life

“If you do this, you’ll no longer have strife”

 

Because it’s not true, it’s so far from fact

And stop whining about what you lack

 

What I believe is far different from you

But I know in my heart, it’s so very true

 

You can’t live up to other’s dreams

Your life will come apart at the seams

 

Life is not a one way street

There’s always other paths you’ll meet

 

Most people spend their life searching

For love, money, happiness, hoping

 

That once they find what they’re looking for

Heaven will be just an open door

 

They pick one thing, to chase all their years

And wonder why they always end up in tears

 

When they don’t ever reach what they’re looking for

When they never seem to see that open door

 

Because life’s not about that one end goal

Don’t you see? It’s about the whole

 

Life is all about living and learning

Not all about searching and yearning

 

Who really knows right from wrong?

What if we’ve been wrong all along?

 

In trying to define what life is for all

Maybe that’s our biggest downfall

Poetry is not an expression of the party line. It's that time of night, lying in bed, thinking what you really think, making the private world public, that's what the poet does.

Allen Ginsberg (1926-1997) U.S. poet.
