Existence....

why am I on this planet
Question lingers in my head
I try to wade it off
but it keeps popping back

the purpose of our birth
is a mystery that engulfs few
as most dont realize
it is something worth looking into

reading books relating to scriptures i get a thought
our only aim in life is to find the god within
I fail to undertstand why arent we born with that fact imbibed
as we could then achieve much more in rest of our lifes

I dont know where I am heading
most of the time gets on activities not worth doing
job which does not satisfy
watching tV at home which plays on emotional apetite
addictions to web which strain the eyes
thought of uselessness props up in mind
but then getting a comfort feeling that everyone is in the same den

all seem to be in mad rush of amassing more
the apetite for which keeps growing as one grows
who do i choose to be?
as a begger and a rich man can be equally happy
and to what level of comfort is to be said enough?
as a begger wishes for a bed and
an investement banker wishes for a house in switzerland

it looks like a funny world
half employed to create things
which make other half unproductive
Who is to judge what is right and what is wrong?
businessmen are only interested in piling the cash reserves up
the private companies are under constant pressure to perform profitably
and time and again neglect upon whats good for the society

I wonder if the purpose of life is to have fun
or to struggle through to find the god within

we are animal kind
and scriptures tell to restrain that animal within
as we only have the POWER of CHOICE
why on earth Humans are born
is a question that still lingers on.....
