The Puzzle of Life

Life is a magnificent gift from the nature
Which the humans are enjoying forever
Uninformed of the secrecies that cover
Make it an enigmatic and baffling poser.

Epochs have disappeared by thousands
In solving the riddle of life by humans
Although he claims of substantial gains
Some tangible accomplishment remains.

The human striving to know life continues
Though the location and technique varies
Oddly, the key for its meaning still elopes
That disturbs man’s intellect with unease.

Humankind has seen many a truth-seeker
Yet, the life remains to be known deeper
For the truth about life is not wholly clear
It is a puzzle wrapped in dilemma’s cover.

Still, life itself stimulates the individual
To unravel its secrets with a call universal
Many have toiled to make it explainable
Yet, as on today, it remains unfathomable.
