We stride with purpose
as if we are the overlords
masters of our destiny
we raise our fists to heaven
to establish our dominion
Time looked back
she simpered at the arrogance.
muggles meandering in meaningless circles
scripting inner monologues,
to justify their existence
In this plane of existence
a journey that we call life
like busy bees dancing a strange routine
lies, lust, money, vanity & power
the many faces of illusion
so many things – important things
devices to exaggerate our self-worth
How we miss those?
where withal be our zest
sweet nothings and an iota of fame
soaking ourselves with words,
and actions to cloak our emotions
grandeur & majesty,
failure & insignificance
All means to an end
In the end, who remembers?
the sum and substance of our lives –
a point in an infinite line
plotting a course to extinction
thoughts decamping into the
shadows of a distant past.

I don’t agree with Tolstoy:) looking for the meaning of life is an insult to life itself

Yes, that’s right, I was asking myself for years just that one day I suddenly realized that this question itself has no meaning 🙂 I hope you feel better today. 🙂

I’ve enjoyed this tremendously. When they say you can’t take it with you they were wrong. You take your wealth of memories with you. Memories of those who’ve passed before you and all the deeds done that mattered.

There is a pessimist in me who likes to look at the worst possible outcome. 🙂
