Beyond Survival

We eat to fuel our bodies

We breathe to keep us alive

But when we find something funny

From where is our laughter derived?

We Love to keep our species

from disintegrating into obis

But laughter, smiles and jolliness?

Surely there's importance I have missed.

The need to create

Invent and Innovate

A trait peculiar to humans

And yet doesn't deviate 

But Humor? Why do we need it?

If tomorrow we woke up without a funny bone

Sure, we would miss it

But not if it was never known

Is it possible it's evolution?

Something that grew over time?

It was never for survival

Something beyond that paradigm?

Perhaps we don't need it 

Perhaps we could survive

Unless living isn't survival

But laughter is how we thrive
