Transitory

The inurbane world faces its fate
with malignant joy, unaware
of it being a scapegoat in the
capricious transitory thing called life.

Yet we perspicuously flatter ourselves
and gravitate to the greatness of life
till the body dissipates and soul alienates 
on the all- encompassing altar of death.
