As We Were Drinking

As we were drinking, crying, quarrelling -
Substance essential to life was produced.
We considered it a crisis
But in real life a real crisis
Is no quarrelling and "nothing" induced.

There were little answers, respectable -
Far less. Now for questions there's no motive.
How to make it fly unacceptable 
Of meaning of life - Hi, Joseph! -
The meaning's insusceptible 
To bribes, mobsters, laws or orders...
