QUATRAINS OF THOUGHT
What is the meaning of life?
Is it husband and a wife?
Partnership based on romance
By some chance or circumstance?
Why is it that we are here...
Wandering in atmosphere?
Is our purpose more than this?
Does bliss lie within its kiss?
When did time start to tick tock?
Why does universal clock
Change the further into space
Rockets chase it in their pace?
Can infinity be reached?
Can impossible be breached?
Is there a way to sever
On forever - or never?
Do limits exist at all?
Are we bound for every wall
To be climbed in upward scale...
Forming a tale without fail?
Queries such as these aside,
Why resort to swallowed pride?
Biting off more than you chew...
Does this too appeal to you?
When we seek all that exerts
In the instance when truth hurts,
Is it worth telling a lie?
Ask yourself - why would you try?
There is no point in violence...
Can it be brought to silence?
Will there be an end to war?
Why implore the need for more?
As we age in time gone past,
Just why does it go so fast?
How do we, the human race
Evolve with grace in our place?
Following our final breath,
What becomes of us in death?
Do we reincarnate so?
High or low - where do we go?
