This is one of Quibbler's poems from that thread. A nice rationalist
sentiment, heh? I nominate the whole poem.
--Sean C
Each Piece in Turn
You're a piece of the universe come alive
To walk around, to think, to strive
That's the thing that matters, not your deeds
Or the precise span of time that your life proceeds
Of course most folks refuse to see it that way
They think it must be consumed, like some dinner buffet
And that life only matters if they gain fame or "succeed"
Or cling to the precepts of some made up creed
In vain, I try to tell them it won't matter in the end
All the ways we preen and how furiously we pretend
For whatever the case, one day we will adjourn
And another piece will get its turn.
