2011 - Day 283

A year ago right on this date
Through our troubles and our strife,
Did come to us, in binary,
The meaning of this life.
Funny to me, to think about
The struggles that we've all endured,
To find out why we exist at all
The Answer that we have all yearned.
This marks the anniversary
The Answer to all that is true,
A simple combo of zeros and ones
The Answer is 42.
