Life!

I looked at yonder and I wondered,
O! What is life?

Children playing in parks,
Cattles grazing grass,
Birds chirping as they fly pass,
Fishes swimming in a tank; made of glass,
Bewitching yet angelic is life!

In deserts, in our beds,
In the hostile dark ocean bed,
Everywhere is life!

Some gigantic, some miniscule,
Some bizarre, some beautiful,
Astounding is this life!

Millions have wondered, millions have tried,
But couldn't find what is 'life'.
We searched the guts of living bodies,
We ripped atoms apart,
Yet we do not know what is 'life'!

I look at yonder, as I wonder,
O! What is life?

...

We fear death, we love life,
We've all wondered and appreciated it,
But yet we do no value life,
We waste it as shit!

We kill for land, for love,
We kill for power, for gold,
These tormenting stories are centuries old!

We kill for 'what we do not own',  **
We even kill for life; our own,
We kill and kill in illogical, ruthless wars,
We waste and kill, and waste and kill; life!

I looked at yonder and shook my head,
What's the fucking point of life?

NUMBERS

                                                          Life! As we call it. They say it all started some 13.77 billion years ago, and the maelstrom of particles then lead to this planet and us residing on it. Some say 'GOD' created all this. However it all came to be, there are about 8.7 million species on this planet and they all have many different sensory organs to perceive this world. The eye however is considered the best way to behold this absolutely majestic universe we live in. But I never knew how it all looks. No! I'm not blind; I never knew how the world looks physically. All I can see are numbers, equations, letters and symbols. Some I learned, some I haven't yet, and some doesn't exist in any books on this planet.  PS : This is just a concept for making a short animation video I am thinking about....

Death of a star!

I watched the folks in a jewellery store, gaping at the gold led before. They smiled and awed at the shining gold, and wondered why. Unaware, ignorant of the fact that it once shone brightly in the sky. In order for us to live, A star must die! The sun, the moon, the planets and asteroids, including    the earth where we reside. Once shone brightly in the sky. In order for us to live, A star must die! The air we breathe, the water we drink, the food we eat, the clothes we wear, the life we love, and the death we fear, it’s possible because  it  died. The things we love each other for to the gold we kill each other for, once brightly shone in the sky. In order for us to live, a star must die! A star that lived before us, brightly shone in the sky. It still shines brightly, as us, now that it has died. In order for us to live, a star must die! A star must die!       ...
