Camus Had It Right (Poem)

I think that Camus had it right

When he said

That life is absurd.

It doesn't take a pied noir

To know that life hits like a sledgehammer

And then smiles as if to mock your pain.

It devours one's essence.

Some say that rhyme and reason

Govern our existence - that it will work out in the end,

But my doubt remains

And like Camus I have to face the future

Where even more questions beget themselves.

Once a rebel of a kind

I took the philosophical fall that humbled my being.

Life is absurd -

Camus had it right.
