Meaningfulness of Life

A human being constantly remains 
heated up in the fire of struggles.
that fire not only burns him 
but also melts him down
heartiness and blaze are virtues of fire
and we call them 
compassion and delinquescence
discontentment is nature as well as
quality of a human being 
and this discontentment pushes him 
constantly towards perfection
his longings for something more 
rouse his mirage
contentment is the greatest pleasure
of human life 
all the wealth becomes dust
on achieving this pleasure
we believe that realization is
the basis of philosophy of life
bless us with devotion, knowledge
and mortification 
we pray to omnipotent god 
we need to experience 
the gust of life waving around us
sorrow and happiness 
are our cognate and cognizant 
but human life lacks many things
but to experience the perfection of it
is our meaningfulness
