Raison D'Etre
hours go by in determined acts,
days go by in unstructured situations,
months are logged as projects get over,
years measure stages of life,
time is an irreversible fact,
once gone its never added on,
do we have a quotient,
by which we could evaluate,
that hours,days,months and years
that went past,
did go past with an object,
or we were jelly beans all along,
doing what came as near the object,
and never waiting to correct difference,
fulfillment is elusive and subjective,
yet it accrues somewhere down inside,
it constantly correlates to our,
intellect and prowess of all other kinds,
and they say a life unfulfilled,
did it have a raison d'etre.
