What Is Life?

An expedition began years ago,
Devoid of a significant Destination,
Christened LIFE.

Making headway, 
Encircled by plenteous acquaintances,
“EXPERIENCE” is the upshot.

Progressing ahead,
Corollary of capability,
Precise judgmental ability
Is the effect of “Experience”

Cautious progression,
In profession and personality;
Sensible Relationships,
Overlooking the covetous,
Dedicated and ingenuous,
Undoubtedly a boulevard to “SUCCESS”

Is this really what we call “LIFE”?
