Oh freddled gruntbuggly,
Thy micturations are to me
As plurdled gabbleblotchits
On a lurgid bee.
Groop, I implore thee, my foonting turlingdromes
And hooptiously drangle me
With crinkly bindlewurdles,
Or I will rend thee in the gobberwarts with my blurglecruncheon,
See if I don't!

I think you are correct!!!!

We show no respect for others and insult them just because we think we are better than them. We think we know their situation and they should be able to get out of that situation easily.

We all want other people to do what we want without concern for what they want. We are even willing to threaten them with whatever we have to get them to comply with our wishes.

I think that sums up how I understand this poem and how it explains how people treat each other in life.

Take care,
Troy

The question consists in two parts. I shall deal with the second part first.

Of course it does not sum up life. That hoped-for summary has a lot of questions to answer, and no nine lines are going to supply sufficient answer to all of those questions.

As an experiment, you might try writing out a page full of questions 'about life' that you have, or have heard. It shouldn't take long; there's plenty of questions to ask about life. Then, with that list of questions in hand, begin writing the LEAST answers that would be minimally adequate responses to only those questions.

Your pen will run out of ink before you're half-done. Even answering the Kindergarten questions, such as, "How comes it that molluscs aren't the dominant phylum here on Earth?" will give you writer's cramp.

The second part of your question is easier to answer: it's actually not a bad poem.

The interesting mix of 'real words' with your fabrications--some of which are quite artfully constructed--actually touches satirically on some aspects of religion/spirituality, a nice salute to the Reverend Dodgson. I'm sure he'd have approved this piece.

Unfortunately, it's a little too short to develop adequately the thoughts it hints toward. But you're moving on a good line towards that end. The portmanteau words work, but you need a mess of 'em to insinuate the thoughts they would smuggle.

I thought Douglas Adams ascended from his physical form (with a towel around his head, go figure). This may sum up Life from your perspective and yours only, no matter how many might agree with you. The perception of Life is unique to each individual attempting to perceive it, based on their understandings and experiences. At the very least, I found it interesting and have an appreciation for it. Blessings.

The title should be "Gobble-de-guke" because that what iit is just a bunch of mumble jumble.

to an extent do to the fact that if you try to understand it in its entirety you'll find it too mind boggling

I suppose it does sum up life because it's absurd & incomprehensible!
