Is This Life?

Is This Life?

Life! Where are you?
Where from have you come, where are you going?
What is the purpose, what is the destination?
Is there any ambition, target or goal?
Going, going, going …… Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Thousands of year pass, life reaches for zenith,
Search of genome, DNA research,
Are you searching yourself?
Will you be happy to conquer yourself?
Searching, searching, searching…….. Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Feelings, emotions, expressions – life finds a means.
Speak, narrate, write, publish and make history,
Reveal yourself in every aspect you live.
Life goes exploring - new horizon, new inventions,
Every discovery opens a new hope.
Are we able to explore life in the right direction?
Exploring, exploring, exploring ……….. Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Villages, cities, countries and continents,
Life moves on in all frailties, irrespective of hurdles,
Increase life to increase possibilities.
Little hope, more sorrows – amidst lack of basics,
Life is a hope, aspiration and dream.
Dreaming, dreaming, dreaming ……… Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Property, capital, money, all needed to fulfill,
Basics of life reveal life itself,
Stock exchange index moves like life, up, down, up, down…
All lying beneath, learn to earn, earn to live,
Earning, earning, earning ………… Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Region, religion, caste and discrimination,
Life exists in them or they exist in life.
Can life empower them or they empower life,
Certainly they empower life but only for few,
Discrimination, discrimination, discrimination ….. Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Old, young, male, female, children….. All are privileged,
All are creations of one with same alpha energy,
Who makes them good, bad and ugly?
Who forces them to be spoiled brat or casual labour?
System puts pressure, but they miss a sense of empowerment.
Why not all get similar opportunities, chances, luck…..
Inequality, inequality, inequality ….. Is this life?

Life! Where are you?
Can’t you show your real face?
Will we be ever able to get your reality?
Wait, wait, wait….. Posted by Picasa
