THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

THE PHILOSOPHY OF LIFE

A Poem by Jvl narasimharao

What is the meaning of our life?

We are born at a place.

live for some time

enact different roles

 and leave this earth like a stage

and are heard no more

 

Nothing seems to be in our control:

our birth, colour, gender height,race, nation or our death

we plan many things

some things go as planned

other things happen unexpectedly.

sometimes we are optimistic

ant at times we tend to be pessimistic

but we boast of being realistic

 

when everything goes wonderfully

we feel we are very great

when everything turns against us

We desperately turn to God for help

Whether God created man

or man created God is a great puzzle

the existence of the soul

is as mysterious as God

 

Our life continues to perplex us

we may be a king or a servant

our stay on earth is not permanent

it is undoubtedly transient

only philosophy gives us some solace

Even if we live in a Royal palace
