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 passĂ© 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
