EXISTENCE

Existence - the dynamic nature of living

Though born by fluke, without purpose

Some pick up the meaning on the go

Many may not even know

 

Life in its beat sends in strange pictures

Of situations showing up suddenly

Shocked and shivering, you stand to face, get it

Or it gets you, it is survival times, either way!

 

Future becomes  present and past then turns into

An experience in a jiffy and the moment goes by

Away from memory, into oblivion, forever gone

Past is passé you feel, nothing makes any sense?

 

Life begets life, a progeny of your form 

                                   Tradition, legacy and lineage, bringing in

Hierarchies of blood and gene connect 

And keeps you in the maze of lines and layers

 

Ageing, a process, making you realise 

The unwantedness of living, in its end

As repetition of meaningless continuum

Salvation, why is it there in the first place?

 

Endeavours of karma, of getting results 

Without seeking it and then making it out

In a sorrowful world of food chains, of eating

The lower one or getting eaten up by the higher.

 

Excuses, pushing you, finding forsaken meaning

Making you grow up, die and decay

Back into mother earth, as building blocks

As manure, food, air, water and the like
