Goal of Life

Sitting quietly and thinking I was amazed to gather

What for we are here?

As we proceed towards attaining our ambitions

Tend to forget the very goal and our mission. 

We all know we are mortal creations,

Just sent here to perform what ever asked for,

Still we tend to believe always

What we have done is our deed?

We take this as our own feat, yet

The stage has been preset,

The role, the cast has been predetermined,

All we need to do, just to keep in mind

The dialogue we have to deliver.

Under surveillance of the great Director

Who is the only responsible for the entire show?

And we have to perform only under His direction

For which also He has set the guidelines

Some times we tend to forget

The dialogues we have to deliver

Which he does prompt instantaneously?

Our movements, pauses and actions,

Every thing is under close observation

To make our performance immaculate.

Nonetheless….

Being jubilant for our feat

We forget that this is not our deed

Rather, we are simply the characters performing,

The way we are directed to perform?

The Director who is sitting up there

Keeping every one under close surveillance.

Provides the ambiance for which we feel arrogant.

But we fail to see that with a simple snap

He can snatch what we boast for now

It’s so momentary…

As we proceed in our life and gather some momentum

Start taking things in wrong prospective

Thinking things around us to be our feat

We overlook very easily, it’s only the provisional arena

Designed for our performance and the same will be dismantled

As soon the curtains are drown.

The stage will be set again for a new play to commence

Entire scaffolding is temporary and as transient as our life.

We must thank Him though who has given us some duties

That we must dispose with immaculate precision,

And never shall feel proud for what we achieved. 

Likewise in plays there are some characters

Around whom the entire story revolves,

The character termed as the Hero of the play.

Similarly if one is assigned to perform as hero

His responsibility goes even greater

The success of entire show rests on his shoulders,

Any wrong move ruins the entire play,

A performance to perfection is desired from him
